HOW TO GET RID OF RACCOONS

There's only one surefire way to get rid of raccoons and it probably will work in getting rid other wildlife that is hanging around your home. Read and find out how you can try other ways aside from a Toronto Raccoon Removal Service:

• ·        Inspect the areas around your home and clean up all the garbage, paper, food, berries that fell from trees.
• ·        Buy metal garbage cans with lids that stay tight and stay attached.
• ·        Use a lid securing device such as Raccoon Green Bin Solution.
• ·        Put heavy weights on the lids in these trash cans where there is garbage, food or water.
• ·        Keep the cans smell clean by washing them out with the hose every so often. Tip them upside down so they don't store water for mosquitoes or for raccoons to drink.
• ·        Always place garbage inside the cans and replace lids immediately.
• ·        Ensure that any picnic tables and chairs do not have even a crumb on them when you retire for the night.
• ·        Store the trash cans indoors or in the garage or somewhere inside if you are gone for a long time or if you see animals around in the neighborhood.
• ·        Always double the plastic bag if you have meat or very tempting food in the trash before throwing it away in the cans.
• ·        Raccoons need shelter. If you discover evidence of a nest in your attic or a sheltered area around your home, you can try making the nest area inhospitable by placing bright lights, noise and ammonia-scented rags in order to make the raccoons feel insecure.
