Best At Home Tips to Get Rid of Raccoon With Ammonia
Seal Up Your Home:
Close potential entry points with wire mesh or sheet metal. Raccoons can squeeze through surprisingly small openings.
–
Trash Can Fortress:
Use a metal trash can with a tight-fitting lid. Secure it with a bungee cord or latch to prevent tipping.
–
Evict Edibles:
Remove pet food dishes at night. Clean up any spills or debris around gardens or compost bins.
–
Light Up the Night:
Install motion-activated lights near entry points. Raccoons prefer to forage in darkness.
–
Spicy Scatters:
Mix cayenne pepper or crushed hot peppers with water. Spray around potential entry points (wear gloves and eye protection!).
–
Predatory Scents:
Try commercially available predator urine pouches (coyote or bobcat) near entry points. Replace them every few weeks.
Call in the Pros:
If you have a raccoon living inside your home or these methods fail, contact a wildlife removal specialist.
