Ways to Remove Raccoons Humanely

A raccoon is a fat, living being by hairy ends and a dark cover of hair that gives shelter to their eyes. These creatures might seem like cute, soft crooks, but they cause danger when you get close to them. These universal creatures can be seen in woodlands, swamps, grasslands. North and Central America, Europe, and Japan are habitats for raccoons. They are very adjustable and live in an extensive variety of temperatures.



Humane Raccoon Removal

A raccoon is very flexible, brainy, solid or lively living beings. These mammals can come to your house through chimneys and can get their food. They have very nimble hands and can breakdown things easily so special care should be given to the fact that they should not enter into your house so there are some raccoon removal techniques without killing them.

Hot Pepper Repellent

A raccoon can easily sense the smell and they do not like the aroma of pepper. We can make a fluid pepper repellent so that they can stay away from our houses and lawns. We could make the pepper repellent by using a bottle of any sauce or a can and fill it with water along with chili sauce or black pepper. Blend the mixture and then we can add little droplets of dish cleaner. We can spray this fluid at the corners of the house so that the raccoon stay away.

Onion and Ammonia

The onion and ammonia are the very good repellents for raccoon. Onion's smell is not tempting to a raccoon so we can boil some onions in water. After boiling we can pour that water into a spray bottle. We can spray that water near garbage or trashcans so that the raccoon will not come near it. Raccoon keeps their places clean while ammonia is found in urine and they do not like the smell of urine. We can prevent raccoons by soaking a little quantity of ammonia and placing them tactically in the yard. This will result in keeping raccoons away from our house.

Seal your Roof and Attic

One should keep the doors of roofs and entrances closed so that raccoon does not enter. If there is an open hole or space then one should ensure that it is properly sealed by putting some loose clothes so that they cannot enter into our houses. We should make sure that the doors of the outbuildings are locked firmly and the food is sealed in boxes with no lid open because the smell of the food attracts them.

Mothballs

Raccoons can be kept away by soaking Naphthalene or spirit in some cotton balls. Their strong and stingy smell and when put in the entrance of the house, it with keep the raccoon away. However, for humane removal, an adequate amount of chemicals must be used.

Conclusion

Raccoon is important for pest cleaning and keeps the lawns away from wasp larvae. So, it is not necessary that raccoons should be kept away but because they can spread rabies so they should better live in wildlife. But killing and trapping them is unsafe and not a good solution, thus humane raccoon removal ways should be employed.
