How can I keep raccoons out of my backyard?

Raccoons have a very good sense of smell, and they do not like the smell of pepper. You can make a liquid pepper repellent that may keep raccoons away from your home and garden. To make the pepperrepellent, get a bottle of hot sauce or a jar or can of cayenne pepper.

Take care to make sure you don't have garbage cans sitting out with garbage in them, bird feeders and feed, dog or cat food, fresh compost in the compost pile or bin, and even hummingbird feeders. If you remove any food sources the raccoons should move on or at least decide that there's nothing interesting in your yard!

If you're seeing raccoons during daylight hours, they may be rabid. Best to call animal control, or send them to Lynn Sorrell's place, since she loves wildlife and roaming animals, so much...

Place moth balls in your garden, Racoons & Cats will stay away.

Moth balls contain known carcinogens, so I would think twice about setting them out. Also they could easily be picked up by curious children ( if there are any around) and mistaken as a treat).

Give us an update if you have managed to keep raccoons out of your backyard, please. Just like owls and bats, raccoons are nocturnal animals who only show their scruffy faces once the sun goes down. Prowling around at night, they spend their lives exclusively shrouded in darkness. Therefore, a raccoon will always be afraid of the light. Also, raccoons dislike the smell of both ammonia and vinegar, so either of these ingredients can help you repel them from your property. If nothing helps, wild animal control Fort Worth should be able to solve the problem easily.

Spices like cinnamon, black pepper or cayenne pepper bother a raccoon's sense of smell, forcing it to relocate to a more livable area. By mixing cayenne pepper and onion in boiling water, you can create a natural raccoon repellant. You can add hot sauce to the mixture, as well. 2nd way is raccoons hunting with rifle buy good caliber rifle start hunting and enjoy hunting at home :P 😃
