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.
Some of the raccoonâs most distinctive characteristics are its striped tail, highly dexterous front paws and black mask marking. Raccoons will eat almost anything â insects, slugs, dead animals, birds and bird eggs, as well as fruits, vegetables and seeds. Around humans, raccoons often eat garbage and pet food.
