Mostly I was worried about them bothering traciboop & her hubby, they were in a tent. One night they didn't zip their door (just velcro) and when the coons came their dog bolted out the door and they ran. Luckily the dog came back when Cory called her. Another night when they came traciboop made coon like noises (same as the coons did) and that scared them away. There was nothing for them anyway. We had the food in the car, washed the dishes & threw out the garbage each night.

(BTW...we didn't use that coon stuff. They say a great deterant is Coyote urine. But we didn't have any. lol. In both cases they smell it & turn away.)

Try human urine - yes human urine. Or urine from your dog if you can get them to go. Human urine didn't work for a woodchuck though. They must not care. Anyway, it's worth a try.

Trust me, it worked for a weasel when our male dog was gone. I learned it by watching a show where a guy left his scent (urine) all around his camp and the wolves did not come in.

You use it for lure.

The ones around here, you see em come right up in town. People tell me that is not true. I'll say - there goes one! They think it's just a dog, lol. They do look a lot like a mutt.

I saw one right over by where the city keeps road salt, running around by their trucks. We have *dump day* there twice a month - no food, just stuff too big for trash cans. It's near the gast station and the bank.

Say, hid the food, washed the dishes, threw out the trash - that's how I keep my son away!

:eek:

:D

O...M...G:eek:! All that urine being flung about, NOBODY will want to stay in the campground!
:D

You gotta see the Jamie Foxx / Robert Downery, Jr. flm "The Soloist" for a step-by-step demonstration of how to deter raccoons! It involves hanging plastic bags of coyote urine from the trees, and making sure each bag has a few holes that it will slowly leak from. It is hilarious (and likely not effective) but the movie is definitely worth the watching . . . .

We have raccoons in our neighborhood, because our neighbors don't know they are luring them by leaving cat food out for "MIdnight" (who has ruined all our gardens). Last summer we got to witness about 45 minutes of passionate raccoon sex right outside our living room window! We have had as many as 5 raccoons at once on our deck at night using our birdbaths . . .

I had a raccoon caper we talked about in SOS. It was awful! What finally got rid of her was tons of ammonia and yes, fox urine! She was even in the ductwork and I now have 3 vents that won't put out any air until this crew gets around to cleaning up the mess. She was even in my home under my bathtubs in both bathrooms. Even in the vent in my bedroom! ACK! And with babies!

Not only did the animal control officer involved tell me to use ammonia, but I also learned it from this guy, and I might add, I thought what finally got rid of his raccoon was absolutely hilarious. :D
epic struggle with a raccoon

Doody, When I first read that there are racoons there, the guy also said to spread amonia arround.
