A raccoon invasion of your property can be a real nuisance. These critters are clever and handy, making them tough to eradicate. Their ability to use their hands to rip things apart, open garbage cans, and undo bungee cords give them the ability to wreak absolute havoc in your home.
Besides food, raccoons infringe on a property to find a safe shelter for their offspring, which means that if there is a raccoon in your residence, it’s most likely a female one.
Lucky for you, you don’t need to torment them physically to remove them from your property. You can do so using a raccoon eviction fluid.
What Is Raccoon Eviction Fluid?
Raccoon eviction fluid is made with gland fluids and urine from male raccoons. It works effectively on female raccoons because male raccoons pose a severe threat to babies and females.
Female raccoons are aware of this, which is why they seek shelter in safer places such as your attic – to stay away from male predators. As soon as the female smells the male urine or gland fluids, she will start to evict her young ones right away.
Because of its composition, raccoon eviction fluid makes female raccoons think there is a male raccoon in the vicinity. Their motherly protective instinct kicks in, and they start to look for a new, safer location.
The best part about using raccoon eviction fluid is that it’s non-lethal to the raccoon, humans, and domestic pets.
Raccoon eviction fluid does not repel male raccoons
Since raccoon eviction fluid is made from male raccoon scents, it is less likely to deter them from entering your property. If anything, it might just rile them up, making them think that there is another male raccoon around and that they need to assert their dominance.
How to Use Racoon Eviction Fluid
To use it, squirt a small amount on a rag and throw it in the attic, chimney, or basement – wherever you presume the raccoon is residing. The raccoon will evict by its own will, which allows you to carry out the following steps.
After the raccoon and its litter are off your property, clean up all their food waste and feces and seal up their entry points. Be careful while handling raccoon feces because they harbor zoonoses, such as salmonella and roundworms, which both humans and domestic pets can contract.
