How to Keep Raccoons Away From Your House

Due to the overwhelming increase of new housing developments and subdivisions, raccoons have been indirectly forced out of their natural habitat. This causes a higher population of raccoons in residential areas. To make matters more challenging for homeowners, raccoons are very clever and have excellent memory retention, which means they are fully-aware that suburban areas are easy sources for food and shelter.

If you have noticed some increased raccoon activity around your home, now is the time to take action before they can create a habit, or cause any costly damage. Continue reading to learn what you can do to keep raccoons away from your house without harming them in any way.

What They Want From You

Raccoons are interested in anything they can get their paws on, literally. They are naturally very curious and clever mammals. So if there is something around your property that will attract wild animals, then you will certainly attract raccoons.

First and foremost, raccoons are looking for food and water. Many homeowners have outdoor storage areas, such as sheds, garages, barns, and similar edifices. And if items like pet food, horse feed, non-perishables, or any other possible food sources, are left in these areas, raccoons will do whatever it takes to access it all.

To thwart raccoon activity altogether, you must remove all food and water sources, including pet bowls, bird baths, and certain plants. If you have a garden, then utilize fences, chicken wire, and even homemade raccoon repellent to prevent raccoons from stealing your crops. Raccoons are also known to dig up lawns in search of grubs, so if you have a grub problem, you might also get a raccoon problem.

Raccoons are also on the lookout for shelter. Things like log piles, playgrounds, dumpsters, hollow trees, voids beneath decks and porches, tree houses, pet houses, and sheds are common target areas for raccoons to shack up. Be sure to address these areas before winter arrives, to stop any infestations from occurring.

Mind Your Garbage

Another common habit that homeowners have is taking out their garbage cans the night before trash pickup day. Although this habit is likely more convenient, it is not worth walking outside to a front yard that has all of last week’s rubbish scattered everywhere.

Raccoons are nocturnal and they go searching for food at night. Unsuspecting garbage cans are often times their favorite targets. So be sure to take your garbage out the morning of your scheduled trash pickup day to prevent scavenging raccoons.

Raccoons commonly nest in homes and buildings in search of shelter and breeding grounds. Their colonies can accumulate quickly, and if not removed and abated right away, they will create massive messes and severe structural damage in whatever area they are occupying. On top of causing interior structural damages and unhygienic environments, raccoons can also damage lawns and gardens in search of grubs, and even pose several health and safety risks as common carriers of infectious diseases and parasites.

For these reasons and more, a raccoon problem must be managed in a timely manner. In fact, it must be handled immediately, before the consequences turn costly and tedious.

Got Raccoons in the Attic?

Having a raccoon in the attic can be an unpleasant situation, and can turn into a costly and dangerous one very fast. Raccoons use attics and other dark, warm areas of residential and commercial buildings for shelter and breeding. This behavior of nesting within our properties can come with some costly consequences if not taken care of right away.
