Raccoons and their habits
It’s a fact that many of us have compost piles, exposed garbage bins, and places where raccoons can move in and enjoy the feast. The trick is to make our property as unappetizing as possible to raccoons and their young. The hope is that maybe the raccoons will move on to another house where food and lodging is more readily available.
Raccoons are nocturnal and tend to move into hollow logs, inside garages, sheds, under decks… anywhere quiet, dark, and relatively private. If you suspect raccoons are living somewhere on your property the best way to get them to move out is to become a noisy neighbour. Set up a radio, shine bright lights, hang rags dipped in ammonia, or place your cat’s used litter in and around the area where you suspect they are living.
Measures you can take
If you animal-proof your compost pile, keep garbage tightly sealed in raccoon-proof containers, and keep your property well maintained you should be able to minimize any raccoon issues. But even the best raccoon-proofing can only go so far. Many of your neighbours may not be so diligent and raccoons may still be living in your neighbourhood and cutting a path through your yard.
The time of year makes a difference
In Ontario, raccoons tend to mate at the beginning of the year and are nurturing their young by spring. If you trap or remove the mother raccoon during this time you may be orphaning her young and setting yourself up for even more problems.
