By nature, raccoons are very intelligent and curious creatures. There is no challenge too great for these mischievous little critters, and no entry too small for them to enter. To put it simply, raccoons will do anything to access your trash and your home in their search for food.
To protect the sanctity of your property and avoid their messy damage and contamination, here are some ways to keep raccoons out of your trash.
There are several ways to keep raccoons away and out of your garbage cans. Tips to help make sure your home remains safe and raccoon-free include:
Dexterous animals, raccoons can access your trash cans if they are not sealed and secure. Eventually, they will chew and scratch through any opening they find to get to the food, be it in your trash receptacle or in your kitchen. Apertures along the roof, vent ducts and pet doors are some of their most frequent modes of entry into homes. There are several methods you can attempt to get rid of a raccoon in the attic.
