Hi this is Yolanda Vanveen and in this section we're going to talk about how to repel raccoons.

Well, I've had a few experiences with raccoons and I've learned a lot about them over the

years. And my conclusion is, they're very smart and they're very social like we are.

So they love to play with humans and to interact with us. But they're wild animals. So the

first way that you can repel the raccoons is to not make them your pets. Do not feed

them no matter what. Don't give them anything. So if you've got cats or other animals outside

where you're leaving food and water for them outside, stop doing it because it's only going

to encourage the raccoons and the skunks and everybody else in the neighborhood to come

over and have a party at your house. So first off you got to get rid of any type of food

or water access for them. And the funniest thing happened this summer, I had the kiddie

pool out and there was some water in it and I heard a bunch of splashing about two in

the morning. And I walked outside the door and opened the door and there was a mama raccoon

and her two babies playing in the kiddie pool. Just having a blast. They looked at me and

they thought, "Oh, my God, we're busted." And they took off. So from that moment on,

I emptied out the kiddie pool every night even though I filled it up almost every day

for the kids to play in through the summer. But I made sure that there was not standing

water in it at night ever. Because when you have standing water, the raccoons are going

to come to drink. They're thirsty. So if you got food and water for them, they're going

to come over. So the first way you can repel them, is don't give them any food or water.

And don't interact with them. I went to a party in Milwaukee once and it was at this

beautiful apartment building and there was a bunch of raccoons that lived in the woods.
