Raccoons enjoy the dark, so a strategically placed flashlight can be a deterrent. Because theyâre also put off by strange noises, playing a small radio may help keep them at bay. Finally, raccoons hate the smell of ammonia, so leave a saucer full of the stuff (or an ammonia-dipped rag) near the creaturesâ entry point. Within 48 hours, thanks to one or all of the above tricks, the raccoons are likely to vacate the premises.
If you have noticed digging under your deck or porch, small patches of torn up grass, and a distinct odor, itâs most likely a skunk. Skunks burrow under structures and often feed on grubs and insects under the lawn or in the garden. If there are noises in your attic, itâs probably squirrels or raccoons nesting. Raccoons will come out at night; squirrels most often during the day. Young raccoons often sound like puppies and can be very vocal. Check the size of the opening they are entering to help to determine which animal it may be.
