I want to talk about raccoons with you
guys because they're such a pain in the
butt alright they're like the most
sneaky evil disease-filled creature that
comes around the house and there's a way
you can get rid of them without having
to lay out traps without having to get
really serious about it a lot of people
think oh my gosh there's a raccoon
living under my house I have to trap it
you know have someone kill it and get
rid of it that happened to my dad he
lives in California on a lake and
there's just a lot of natural animals
over there all the time and for him he
had a little crawlspace I know I have
brick right here underneath my house
trying to make a comparison but the
raccoon dug out and went underneath his
house and yeah that was a big problem
because he started nesting under there
he would come out during the the night
time and go hunt for food and then come
back that became his house as well as my
dad's house they did put a trap out and
didn't catch him so they like put a trap
out again and made it a little stronger
not only did it catch him it really
injured him and killed him and it was it
was a horrible process but it turned out
there were two of them alright so what
we ended up doing was we put out some of
this spray a couple years ago it's small
animal repellents break gets rid of
raccoons squirrels and chipmunks and all
that kind of stuff and what we did was
we sprayed I'm not at my dad's house I
can't make the exact comparison but that
imagine this area right here that I'm
spraying was the hole we sprayed around
the hole from good five feet like it was
just cute it was just nothing but spray
and this spray right here it's filled
with essential oils okay like it has
garlic peppermints vinegar all these
things and you know it's strong to us
right when you smell garlic or
peppermint strong to us but it's kind of
a good smell but imagine if it was 20
times stronger that's exactly what it
smells like to the raccoon it's 20 times
stronger it was disgusting so what ended
up happening was he didn't come back
there but he tried
building or digging under the house in a
different area so what we realized we
had to do because he didn't get back
under it that day but we knew he'd be
back
we just started spraying the entire
perimeter of the house where he was he
was creating those holes we got a
one-gallon version of this sprayed the
perimeter they broke his entire pattern
of life right so he ended up just moving
away and the raccoon problem went away
and we didn't have to trap him we didn't
have to hire a professional trapper we
didn't have to do anything crazy like
that it was great right so um
these type of things if you just you
know think about it you know you can
avoid having to a call a $200 pest
control guy to come out killing
something the thing was dangerous too
like if you really think about having a
raccoon around they have huge claws they
can can carry rabies and all that stuff
it's horrible um not only that the the
cage itself like if a little cat got in
there or if a little kid was messing
around near it it could have caused some
huge grave injuries and you don't need
to play that game it's it's a silly game
to play if you just learn how to use
essential oils properly learn how to
just change the way you get rid of
things instead of having to think about
on toxic pest control kind of things or
huge traps I don't need that you can
just think about okay there's natural
alternatives they can't stand these type
of smells if I put that type of smell
everywhere they won't come around now
they love trash cans raccoons are just
trash canteens now this one's got a nice
cover on it so it's kind of hard to get
rid of it but if you see those old trash
cans with just these lids that coming up
kind of easy those raccoons love to get
into them and what you can do to just
prevent them is spray around that that
trash can lid when the lids on really
strong and when the lids on it just
spray on top of the lid too and those
things won't even come by they would
just think this little area right here
is they would think this area right here
is just completely disgusting filled
with rotten nasty crap and wouldn't even
come close to going near it so it's a
pattern interrupt these raccoons can get
used to putting out great food and
they'll always come back and you'll
wonder why I can never get rid of them
and maybe you're thinking oh I need
about traps and that's the only way well
it's not the way is really just using
the proper type of things the right
technique and you know preventing the
problem from happening in the first
place and if there is a problem just
change the pattern of the way these
animals are and then won't come back
simple as that so get something filled
with a lot of garlic
peppermint clove vinegar all that kind
of stuff there's these perfect
combination bottles that are already out
there just get something like that
essential oils think about it if you put
that around your family it's not going
to hurt them it's not going to cause
cancer it's not going to kill them but
huge traps
you know those actual very toxic has
control things that professionals put
out you know it gets rid of the problem
right like that's why you're paying them
the money to come out or maybe you're
buying a pest control spray yourself and
replying it yourself but you might be
solving a problem in the short term
creating a long term problem maybe
you're gonna give yourself some sort of
health problem in the future maybe your
kids maybe your pets you know so don't
subject yourself or your family or loved
ones to that kind of stuff start
thinking differently about life it costs
just as much you know maybe even less
and this still actually smells good when
you spray it around so you create an
atmosphere that smells kind of decent
and you prevent an issue all right you
know when you actually have the pest
control company over don't you always
think of the back your head like man I
hope I'm not giving myself cancer may I
hope I'm not giving my kids cancer I
think we all think that and we know
there's a better way so rethink the way
you do things and you know probably live
a better life all right take care my
friends
