especially keeping them away from my house
2007-10-13 12:27:13 · update #1
It's tough to do. We had a ton of them at our last house and they could do some damage. Make sure there are no outside garbage containers, keep them in your garage. They also liked our scented candles other than citronella. Don't have any pet foods outside and forget about bird seed. We gave up on fish in our pond too. Otherwise the only other thing you can do is buy the critter trap cages at Home Depot and entice them in by leaving food inside. Once inside, the door drops. Then you can relocate them to another more remote wooded location.

Leave them alone. Raccoons dont have the option of buying real estate. Try having some heart.

Just try to keep your garbage as sealed as possible, there just looking for scraps!! If they cant get them they might leave and go elsewhere!!

get a bb gun and shoot them! and if that doesnt scare them off, then call rodent control, and if that doesnt work, plat a buckeye tree, its the only natural way to keep racoons away. the buckeyes give off a sent that hurts the racoons mind, so they leave.
