But we don\u2019t want is to harm animals in an attempt to\nkeep them away. Here in lies the problem: some wild animals are just too smart\nfor some of our standard tricks. For instance, raccoons. Raccoons are\nincredibly intelligent mammals that have terrific memories and agile abilities\nto climb, catch, and grasp. They have little dexterous fingers that can even\nopen doors and latches! So how do you keep ambitious raccoons away? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are several non-toxic, non-lethal, and perfectly-humane methods for keeping raccoons off your property. One of those methods is a simple, homemade raccoon repellent that you can make right from the comfort of your very own kitchen. And it is likely that you already have several of the ingredients since most are common household items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Continue reading to learn how to make a safe, but effective raccoon repellent that you can scatter along the perimeter of your yard to keep raccoons away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raccoon-Control-Help-Louisville-KY-e1578949091417.jpg\" alt=\"Louisville Raccoon Removal and Control 502-553-7622\" class=\"wp-image-797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raccoon-Control-Help-Louisville-KY-e1578949091417.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raccoon-Control-Help-Louisville-KY-e1578949091417-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Raccoon-Control-Help-Louisville-KY-e1578949091417-768x481.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Louisville Raccoon Removal and Control 502-553-7622<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gather Up Your Supplies<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You Will Need:<\/strong> Plastic spray bottle, fresh water, protective eye wear, kitchen gloves, and anything else to mark off the treated areas from children and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Household Spices (1 or More):<\/strong> Cinnamon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, fresh hot peppers (optional), jalape\u00f1o, habanero, serrano, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extracts (1 or More): <\/strong>Menthol, peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon, eucalyptus, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These smells and sensations are something that raccoons\nhate, and they will stay far away from it at first whiff.&nbsp; So you are going to be making a solution that\ncontains a selection of the household spices, extracts, and peppers listed above.\nYou do not need to use all of them together. Simply select from one category,\nor combine all three for an extra-strength solution. You can put all of these\nitems into an empty and clean plastic spray bottle, and administer it around\nthe perimeter of your property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose your ingredients, and combine them in your empty\nplastic spray bottle. You can purchase a spray bottle at any home improvement\nstore for under $5, or you can clean out an old one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using fresh peppers, wear your protective gloves\nand dice them up. Then transfer them to a bowl and crush them with a spoon\nuntil the juices begin to flow. Then put the muddled peppers into your spray\nbottle. Be sure to wash your hands after you remove your gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your ingredients are in the bottle, fill your bottle\nwith clean tap water. Then attach the top securely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put on your protective eye wear to prevent getting the solution in your eyes as you spray. If it is a windy day, you should apply the repellent the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk around the perimeter of your lawn and spray the\nsolution generously. Be sure to avoid spraying areas where pets and children\nplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have leftover, spray the solution in areas where you\nhave actually seen raccoons. And then spray the bottom of your outdoor trash\ncans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If your problem persists, contact a professional wildlife control company for safe and humane <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"raccoon removal (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/raccoon-removal.php\" target=\"_blank\">raccoon removal<\/a> solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Louisville Raccoon Removal and Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 502-553-7622 <\/strong>for safe and humane <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raccoonremovallouisvilleky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Louisville raccoon removal (opens in a new tab)\">Louisville raccoon removal<\/a> services today.
