So in order to prevent\nraccoon activity around your property, you will need to follow some important\nguidelines: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2767 Keep garbage cans locked up, or keep the lids sealed shut,\nand only take your cans out to the driveway on the morning of trash pickup day,\nand never the night before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2767 Never leave pet food or water bowls outside. If you store pet food a garage or shed, be sure it is in an air-tight container and your garage or shed is non-accessible by animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2767 Install motion lighting on patios, porches, and garages. Or consider installing a sound machine to scare raccoons away. Install a fence around gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2767 Sprinkle your yard with ground red pepper, and then soak cotton balls with ammonia and place them around your property. Be care if you have outdoor pets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2767 Remove bird and squirrel feeders, as well as, bird baths. Pass up on the Koi pond. They will eat your expensive fish! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If Your Raccoon Problem Persists\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 502-553-7622<\/strong> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Louisville raccoon removal and control (opens in a new tab)\">Louisville raccoon removal and control<\/a> you can trust.
