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.
In addition to garbage cans, raccoons are notorious for their love of sweet corn. These omnivores will also eat strawberries, tree fruits, peas, potatoes, melons and grubs found in your lawn. They will dig holes in maturing melons and munch on ripening tree fruit.
