Nevada is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Summerlin South wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Summerlin South animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Clark County Animal Control for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Clark County animal control, and see what they have to say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that helps with dog and cat issues only.

Summerlin South Wildlife Tip:

Raccoons, while fascinating creatures in their natural habitat, can become unwelcome guests when they venture into residential areas. Their intelligence, dexterity, and opportunistic nature can lead to property damage, raided garbage cans, and potential health concerns. Implementing effective prevention strategies is crucial for coexisting peacefully with these adaptable animals. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to keep raccoons away from your property, covering various methods from physical barriers to natural deterrents.

Securing Your Property with Fences

Fencing can be an effective first line of defense against raccoons, particularly for protecting gardens, compost bins, and other vulnerable areas. However, it's essential to consider that raccoons are agile climbers and diggers, so the fence must be designed and installed correctly.

• Electric Fencing: A low-voltage electric fence, even a single strand placed about 4-6 inches off the ground and another at 12 inches, can be a highly effective deterrent. The mild shock will discourage raccoons from attempting to cross. Ensure the fence is clearly marked and installed according to local regulations.
• Solid Fencing: For a more permanent solution, consider a solid fence at least four feet high. Make sure there are no gaps underneath or loose boards that raccoons can squeeze through.
• Netting and Mesh: For gardens and individual plants, sturdy netting or wire mesh can provide a physical barrier. Ensure the netting is secured tightly to the ground to prevent raccoons from lifting it.
• Modifying Existing Fences: If you already have a fence, consider adding an overhang or a strip of wire mesh that extends outward at an angle. This can make it difficult for raccoons to climb over. Rolling logs or PVC pipes along the top of the fence can also prevent them from gaining a foothold.

Home Repairs to Keep Raccoons Out of Buildings

Raccoons often seek shelter in attics, chimneys, under decks, and in crawl spaces. Preventing access to these areas is vital to avoid costly damage and potential health hazards.

• Seal Entry Points: Thoroughly inspect the exterior of your home for any potential entry points, such as gaps in siding, holes in the roof, uncapped chimneys, and openings around pipes or vents. Seal these openings with sturdy materials like sheet metal, hardware cloth, or expanding foam. Ensure repairs extend below ground level to prevent digging.
• Cap Chimneys: Install a secure chimney cap made of metal. Raccoons are strong climbers and often use uncapped chimneys as entry points to attics.
• Repair Damaged Roofing and Siding: Promptly repair any damaged roofing shingles or siding that could provide an entry point for raccoons.
• Secure Vents: Cover foundation vents, attic vents, and soffit vents with heavy-duty wire mesh or commercially available vent covers.
• Trim Overhanging Branches: Trim trees and shrubs that overhang your roof or provide easy access to upper levels of your home. Raccoons are excellent climbers and can use these branches as bridges.
• Secure Pet Doors: If you have a pet door, ensure it is only accessible to your pets and consider locking it at night when raccoons are most active.
• Elevate Decks and Sheds: Skirt the perimeter of decks and sheds with wire mesh or solid barriers to prevent raccoons from denning underneath.

Managing Food Sources: Eliminating Temptation

Raccoons are primarily motivated by food. Removing potential food sources is a critical step in preventing them from frequenting your property.

• Secure Garbage Cans: Use garbage cans with tight-fitting lids. Consider using bungee cords, straps, or weights to secure the lids. Alternatively, store garbage cans in a shed, garage, or invest in raccoon-proof garbage cans.
• Wait to Put Out Trash: If possible, wait until the morning of trash pickup to place your garbage cans outside, reducing the time raccoons have access to them overnight.
• Clean Up Spills and Leftovers: Promptly clean up any food spills outdoors, including spilled birdseed, pet food, and barbecue remnants.
• Feed Pets Indoors: Avoid leaving pet food outdoors, especially overnight. If you must feed pets outside, do so during daylight hours and remove any uneaten food promptly.
• Secure Compost Bins: Use enclosed compost bins that are difficult for raccoons to open. Avoid composting meat scraps, dairy products, and greasy foods, which are particularly attractive to raccoons.
• Protect Gardens and Fruit Trees: Use netting or fencing to protect vegetable gardens and fruit trees when crops are ripening. Harvest fruits and vegetables as soon as they are ripe.
• Clean Up Fallen Fruit and Nuts: Regularly remove fallen fruit and nuts from your yard, as these can be a significant food source for raccoons.
• Avoid Feeding Wildlife: Intentionally feeding raccoons or other wildlife can habituate them to human presence and encourage them to seek food on your property.

Natural Remedies and Deterrents

While not always as effective as physical barriers, some natural remedies and deterrents can help discourage raccoons.

• Motion-Activated Sprinklers and Lights: These can startle raccoons and deter them from entering your property.
• Strong Scents: Some people have success using strong scents that raccoons dislike, such as ammonia-soaked rags (placed in secure locations away from pets and children), predator urine (available at some garden supply stores), or pepper spray (use cautiously and responsibly). Reapply scents regularly, especially after rain.
• Noise Deterrents: Loud or sudden noises can temporarily scare raccoons away, but they may quickly become accustomed to them.
• Citrus Peels or Coffee Grounds: Spreading citrus peels or coffee grounds around gardens may deter some raccoons due to their strong smell.

Dealing with Existing Raccoons

If raccoons have already taken up residence on your property, it's crucial to avoid direct confrontation. Trapping and relocating raccoons can be complex and may not be a permanent solution, as other raccoons may move into the vacated territory. Furthermore, relocation can be harmful to the trapped animal. It's often best to focus on making your property less attractive and ensuring they cannot re-enter once they leave.

If you suspect raccoons are living in your attic or another part of your home, try to encourage them to leave on their own by making the area unpleasant. This could involve placing bright lights, playing loud music (during the day), or using commercially available eviction fluids (use with caution and follow instructions). Once you are certain the raccoons have left (ensure no young are present, especially during spring and summer), seal all entry points immediately.

For persistent or problematic raccoon issues, consider contacting your local animal control or a professional wildlife removal service. They have the expertise and equipment to safely and humanely address the situation.

By implementing these raccoon prevention tips, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of these resourceful animals causing problems on your property and promote a more harmonious coexistence.
