There is no sure way of keeping raccoons out of your Sarasota yard, short of sitting outside all night with a shotgun. However, there are many effective ways to deter raccoons and prevent infestation. They are only after two things: food and shelter. If you deny them these things they will look elsewhere. The most effective Lakewood Ranch raccoon deterrent is securing your garbage can lids. Using bungee cords is preferable to putting weight on top, as the resourceful little critters will push these off. You may consider using a Lakewood Ranch raccoon repellent around the cans as an additional measure.

Use chicken wire to block off access to the underside of your Myakka City house and porch, and any other areas you wish to keep raccoons out of. This is a simple but effective raccoon deterrent – it will prevent a raccoon from making these safe, dry areas their home. Prevention is definitely the way to go here, as removing raccoons from these tough to reach Florida locations can be a very difficult task.
