Raccoon Repellant

If you live in the rural areas of the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas, you’ve likely had to deal with the determined, seemingly Houdini-like rascals that are raccoons. There are two easy, DIY recipes you can use to repeal curious raccoons from your home, porch, and other areas you’d rather keep wildlife-free. 

  1. Mix together (1) bottle hot sauce or cayenne powder, (1) gallon of water, and (1) teaspoon of dish soap. Once mixed, add to a spray bottle and spray on the entire area that you would like to keep raccoons out of (ex. entire porch including doors, trash bins and their surrounding areas, etc.). 
  2. Put apple cider vinegar into a bowl, then place a rag in the bowl. Place the bowl near where the raccoons are a problem/entering, and let the rag soak overnight.
