We are California's top experts in wildlife and raccoon control. We are not a typical Riverside raccoon control or pest control company. We don't treat wild animals like insects, because they are not! You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique. And remember, if you have raccoons living in your house, it is almost certainly a female with a litter of young inside. These juveniles must be removed by hand, or they will starve to death and die. And after they are gone, the entry holes into the house must be sealed with professional repairs. Unlike most Riverside pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions, by following these steps:
- Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
- Seal shut all entry areas with professional grade steel
- If in attic, we remove the baby raccoons by hand
- Technical and human raccoon trapping appropriate to situation
- When necessary, we clean raccoon droppings and replace insulation
Riverside Raccoon Control Tip: What are raccoons scared of
In actuality, raccoons are strong and smart animals that are scared of little things and are very good at defending themselves. Raccoons were once scared of humans, but now they are not. They are now urbanized, and their fear of humans has shrunk. But these animals still have their fears. Some things that scare raccoons are:
Light
Raccoons are nocturnal and prefer darkness to light. Install bright lights in your home to prevent raccoons from coming in. You can also use motion-sensor lights around your home to keep the raccoons at bay. Honestly, mother raccoons do not mind the bright lights, so, you can spray a male raccoon's urine around your house in order to chase mother raccoons away.
Sound
During the day, when the city is busy, raccoons stay indoors, away from the noise and bustle. They come out in the night when there is less noise. Since they are nocturnal, they get startled by inconvenient sounds at night. You can chase raccoons off at night by turning on the radio all night. You can also use high-frequency sounds that can only be heard by the raccoons. Sounds from 25-85 kHz can do the trick.
Smell
Raccoons are generally skittish creatures. They are easily startled by certain sensations like light and sound. They are also scared by some kinds of smells. Some smells would chase a raccoon off. One of them is ammonia. Apply ammonia on the surface or around any of your property that you want a raccoon to stay clear of. You can also use pepper spray. A raccoon's nose is very sensitive to pepper spray and even the smell of skunks too. A raccoon will experience anxiety when it inhales smells that it is not comfortable with.
Predators
Generally, animals experience fear when faced with an enemy or predator. The raccoon has many enemies. Raccoons are nocturnal, and so are many of their enemies. Raccoons can smell if an enemy is nearby from their urine and the sounds the predator makes.
HumansLike other animals, raccoons are scared of humans. They naturally see humans as predators for many reasons. Humans have tried to harm raccoons in many drastic ways, like using poisons and inhumane traps, separating mother raccoons from their babies, and affecting their population. Raccoons have learned to avoid humans as much as possible as a result of the inhumane treatments they receive. A raccoon will attack a human if it feels threatened.
Other ways to protect your environment
There are other measures you can take to prevent raccoons from accessing your property. Raccoons are omnivorous and can eat anything that they deem edible. If you have food carelessly kept in your home, or the cover of your trash can doesn't fit tightly, the raccoons are bound to find it and help themselves. So instead, you should keep all your food sources secure (pet food included) and use tight lids on your waste bins. You can use waste bins with locks or tie the waste bin with strong ropes to prevent the raccoon from opening the waste bin accessing the contents.
Water
Raccoons love water. They are good swimmers and are able to stay underwater for a long time. Despite having these skills, a raccoon in the neighborhood can still be startled by water. They feel threatened when sprayed with water while they are on land. You can install motion sensor sprinklers to chase off the raccoons.
Fireworks
Raccoons find fireworks threatening. Fireworks are a basic nightmare for them because it comprises of three things they are scared of; sound, light, and smoke. The blast of a firework can send them scurrying off immediately when they hear it. The air is also filled with smoke, and the nose of raccoons are very sensitive to smoke. The gunpowder gives off a terrible smell that is really disturbing to the raccoons.
We have learned about a few things that raccoons are scared of. If your home is infested with raccoons, or you live in an area where raccoons are found, you can prevent raccoons from gaining access to your property or chase raccoons out of your home by making them face their fears. Raccoons may appear cute and adorable, but these animals are very destructive. A raccoon problem should be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent further damages. You can hire professionals to do the work for you.
