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.
Raccoons are highly intelligent and curious creatures, but they can also be a nuisance to any homeowner. These nocturnal mammals can destroy gardens, make a mess by tipping over garbage cans, and can cause structural damage in search of food.
