All About Raccoons - Control Options


Raccoons are at the very top of the list of critters out to destroy your vegetable garden. If you do not have a garden, then perhaps raccoons may find their way to your trash cans, curbside garbage or bird feeders.

Found throughout North America, raccoons are a problem for home owners all over.  With the use of an animal repellent and a raccoon trap, control over your raccoon issue is close at a hand!

Raccoon Control Options

 

Repellents

 

Havahart® Critter Ridder® is a patented pepper based repellent.  OMRI Listed® and USDA approved for Organic Gardening Critter Ridder® is available in both liquid and granular applications. CritterRidder® can be used indoors (granular) and outdoors (granular and liquid).

Critter Library - Raccoon Repellent. Control raccoons with a raccoon repellent and a raccoon trap.

 

One application of Critter Ridder® lasts.

The best solution to keep raccoons from raiding your garbage cans is to spray garbage cans and bags with the liquid Critter Ridder®, which repels raccoons along with 5 other species of animals.

 

Additionally, we recommend you fasten the lid securely with rope, bungee cords, chains, or even weights placed on the lid. Finally, store your garbage can in a shed and make sure the shed door is closed securely, or else the raccoon will surely find its way inside the shed and right to your garbage cans!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traps

 

A well-positioned Havahart® live animal raccoon trap along with a tempting raccoon treat will make the trapping task simple. Unique safety features on our raccoon trap makes this the ideal trapping solution.

 

Critter Library - Raccoon trap

 

 

Humane Havahart® raccoon traps come in a variety of styles and sizes including our new Easy Set® raccoon trap which is ideal for the first time trapper. Before trapping check state and game regulations for using a raccoon trap within your state.

 

Check out our recommended raccoon baits to use in your Havahart® raccoon trap for a more successful trapping experience!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exclusion

 

Critter Library - Raccoon exclusion first, then trap the raccoon with our raccoon trap.

To keep raccoons out of gardens, a fence with an electric wire that shocks is the best option. A plain fence will not do the trick since raccoons are expert climbers.

 

Fi-Shock, a sister brand of Havahart®, offers a wide variety of electric fencing solutions that can help you keep raccoons off your property.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Raccoon Control Tips

 

Inside your Home

 

Raccoons will venture into the house, attic, or roof because they are appealing nesting areas. They will often choose an un-fluted chimney to use as their den and will even give birth there.

 

If raccoons have found their way into your house, close off the access route. If you have a pet door, make sure it can be locked at night. This is a common entryway raccoons and other nuisance animals use to invade your home. 

 

If you hear the sounds of raccoon kits, allow access to the area until the baby raccoons begin to follow their mother out at night to gather food (approximately 8 weeks of age).  Once you are sure the area is empty, you can block the access.
