Keep Raccoons Away from Your Crops

Raccoons are not only smart but they are also vicious creatures who will eat your cats and can kill your dogs. They also can collapse their bones allowing them to squeeze through little spaces you won't think them capable of fitting through. They carry a wide variety of nasty diseases. The biggest one I've shot had weighted almost 40 pounds (average size where I live is 30 to 40 lbs). One raccoon by itself killed both of my neighbors full grown German Sheppard's in the same attack in the middle of the day. To get rid of them, you need to shoot them. Yes. Shoot them. They are not cute little animals, they are s nasty, deadly disease carrying, over populated nuisance.
Buy from Amazon bottle of 100% coyote urine sprinkle around & good buy coons.
Sounds like the police should be training these mammoth raccoons then instead of German Shepherds!
There is no way in hell 1 40lb raccoon killed 2 german shepards at once. German shepards weight upwards of 60lbs each can rip apart a human and are trained police dogs. 1 alone would tear any sized raccoon to pieces...2 of them and it would be hard to even tell it used to be a raccoon... stop being such a jackass
Ok I have tried all that you list to get rid of raccoons except catching I don’t want to that . I bought the strobe light with cougar sound plus another sound both not affective. Once raccoons feel no threat they move the device out of their path for food . I was at wits end until a week ago. I read somewhere about using cougar urine . I felt this was my last chance because I have outdoor cats that were scared to death . Neededto something.
Well I can tell ya it works perfectly. Setting the urine around perimeter especially if you know where they come out of . I am on my second week ‘’’knock on wood’’ it’s working .
Making my life , my cats and the raccoons much better to live together.
My cats can now eat at night without fear. As for the raccoons, lol there are now bother someone in neighborhood instead of me.
Just wanted to share oh by the way a bottle of cougar urine 5.99 it’s too bad I had spent 150 on devices before a 5.99 cured my problem
Several years ago we were having problems with raccoons - they were killing & eating my son's 4-H rabbits. We live trapped several & disposed of them. We even trapped some that had no bait in them. Someone told us about Nite Guard lights or Predator Eye - we bought about 8 of them and haven't had a problem with raccoons since. You can find the light on Amazon.
Raccoons will lead a dog to water where they will wrap themselves around them and hold their head under water and drowned them they are notorious for this they are very smart .
A neighbor has allowed his beautiful Tudor style home to go to rack and ruin. He moved out, tried to sell the house, but wanted far too much, so no one would buy it. The house has been empty for over 5 years, and is now the dwelling place of many raccoons. Since he pays someone to cut the grass every few weeks, there is almost nothing to be done about the situation although many n our neighborhood have complained by phone and in writing to the Town Government and tot he County Board of Health. A few m onths ago, it seemed a repairman was at the house so I went over to ask if it had been bought, and if new owners were beginning restorations. The man replied the owner had wanted him to fix a gutter that is hanging off and to do something inside, but had placed the keys with our police department. When the repairman went to the police, they refused to give him he keys because of all the raccoons living there. They are afraid some may be rabid. Several of us called the Board of Health again, but nothing was done. I think this owner must be paying off someone with influence. Because we're in suburban Long Island, there are lots of laws, but the owner seems to be above them. We are grateful that his home is surrounded by large thuja trees and therefore we don't have to see the condition the house is in!
We have a cabin in a remote area of the mountains of NE Georgia and feed the birds.. We have trail cameras out and see the raccoons destroying ornamental plants and even scaling a squirrel proof bird feeder. As they dug up the feeder's pole; they are quite ingenious..
Originally, it was a family of 3 raccoons; now, it is down to one raccoon.. Although GA DNR will claim there aren't any cougars, period. As I have a picture of a 75-80# one, my trail cams disagree.. I have a picture of a large footprint also which implies an even bigger cougar...
As I can't expect the cougars to protect our container plants; I take the dogs out to urinate by the containers which has proven to be effective.
Trap and release is only giving someone else your problem. Trap with live trap using marshmallows and shoot them. Dispose of properly. Put them in a thick trash bag and roll up tightly and tape securely. Put in deep freeze until trash day and they will be gone.
