Raccoons – Send them Packing

 

Raccoons are omnivores so they will eat virtually anything (including plastic) and are always looking for a new den, so our houses are always appealing. Although water sprayers and chemical repellents may work briefly, raccoons will ignore them if the reward is greater, so you have to make your house and garden unapproachable. Cut back tree branches and shrubs at least 6’ from the roof. Block crawl space vents and other possible entry spots with 3/8 galvanized steel mesh. Make trash cans inaccessible or locked down lids, cover fish ponds with netting and don’t leave pet food outside over night. Protect vegetable gardens with wire electric fencing. If raccoons have already made a den in your attic or crawl space you can use ammonia or hot pepper powder to get them to leave.
