Dangerous
 
We lived up north and had our times in getting rid of raccoon's. The big danger is they can be rabid. If they act strange in wandering around and acting like they had a few they may be sick and call the sheriff. If they are like the police in the north they will come and shoot the one that is sick. :ho:

I used to have that problem until I switched from white garbage bags to black. I don't know why it works, but it does.

Spray your bags with pure ammonia, enough to make little puddles on the bags. Anything with lungs will stay away. But as stated above put it out in the morning and they will be gone.

Worked for me !

Please advise.
Thank you


The raccoons were here before us....you could trap them, but then you have to relocate them (and who knows if they come back)

I don't put the trash out until the morning... Raccoons are nocturnal...
