How to get rid of Raccoons fast!

There are tons of ways to get rid of raccoons from your yard or near your house, but we are going to shorten them down to a simple six steps you can take to get rid of raccoons without killing them.

First, consider purchasing a live trap and trapping the coons. Always check with your local conservation office before relocating the raccoons or killing them. It may be illegal in your state or city to kill the raccoon by shooting them, but perfectly legal to relocate them to a farm or lake. This can literally get rid of a raccoon overnight for under $40.

The second step is to protect your trash since it's very easy to keep raccoons out of your trash simply by keeping a rock or bungee cord on top of the lid. Raccoons are very smart animals and will find a way to get in the can if you don't keep it airtight. The smelly food in your trash will entice them into chewing up your trash for the reward. Consider double bagging your trash if needed.

The next step is to simply keep your yard clean. These coons go nuts for cat food, so try to your yard clean of food and other messes. Clean up your yard, keep the lawn mowed, and pick up trash. Keep your chimney clean, and consider placing some chicken wire over it to prevent them from crawling into it.

The fourth step can be quite expensive, but is a sure way to keep raccoons out of your yard. Buy and install a fence around your yard to discourage all animals from wandering in. Note that some, such as squirrels, can still climb though. This will help you get rid of your raccoon problem fast and easy!

Step number five is to purchase a noise activated or motion activated machine to scare them away from Amazon. You can scare raccoons away with noise and light easily since they are nocturnal during the night. Always read the reviews before making a purchase on Amazon though. Raccoons are very smart and will eventually get used to this method, so try changing the machines every few weeks.

The last step is to eventually just hire a professional exterminator to do the job correctly. Avoid getting bitten from a raccoon and getting diseases such as rabies. Instead of fighting a mother raccoon in the attic or a chimney, hire an exterminator to do the job right without worrying about pain.
