HOW TO KEEP RACCOONS, POSSUMS & SQUIRRELS AWAY FROM YOUR GARDEN OR BACKYARD. DIY SOLUTION Part 2!

[@gregriddle3042]

Hey man my concoction of peppermint oil, vinegar and cracked black pepper, mixed up . I am please to report , No raccoons!!!! Now I know how these little turds operate. So now they know I’m armed with my concoction and they will find the weakest point and try to get back on my roof. I thank you sooooo much!! Great channel great solutions!!! And these things work!!! Also used the soap as a binder) this is a family of $18000 racoons that I’ve been fighting for a few years and they have cost us dearly!! But now, I have the upper hand! God bless and I’ll report back!!!

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Let’s go!!!! That’s whats up!!!! I’m happy to hear this!!

[@patricesmith-dixon4385]

Would love to see camera footage of animals coming up and sniffing and choking or vacating the area. 😂

[@nunyabeezwacks1408]

Thank you sooo much!! This video helped me repel the skunk that used to visit me nightly and lived under my house. But, I did use a ton more cayenne pepper that I bought in bulk from Amazon, 'cause I wanted him out ASAP!

Take a balloon fill it with Cayenne pepper blow up the balloon, smear balloon with a little peanut butter and the raccoons will play and grab the balloon and ultimately pop the balloon and the pepper will irritate them and leave

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

You are most welcome! Be sure to drain the pepper before adding the solution to the sprayer!

[@carlettarailey-worthy4428]

I do the same as you but without the vinegar cause it will kill the grass or leave dark spots everywhere. Try using lots of hot sauce instead. It can get through a quality sprayer better than Cayenne because it's liquid.

[@innerjon]

Doesn’t hot sauce have vinegar?

[@box3976]

add some 'Daves Insanity Sauce'...

[@ANNM1957]

You are lucky they only destroyed your grass , in my house they destroyed my roof , started ripping of the shingles around the outside vents , cost me $500 to put wire cages & then $500 to replace the damaged shingles. Now they are destroying my shed. I’ve been using this solution , it’s great if it’s nice & sunny then I don’t see the coons soon as it rains they are back on the shed & crap everywhere . They are destructive dirty animals. 🤮

[@SunChaserWildlife]

Raccoons don't typically destroy grass. There may be a Grub or moles attractant, which will attract many species. Use Castor Oil granules.

[@bonnieinthespirit6373]

Today under the kitchen sink . Grabbed dish soap to hand wash a few dishes! As a possum was crouch down to hide be hide the soap bottle I was reaching for. I screamed . My husband jumped from his seat & jumped n screamed with no idea as to why I was screaming. I think the varment went behind the autodishwasher(?). Then I saw another Face! It could be 2(?) or the same one. Either way the husband has a PLAN ! To safely catch n remove em to outside. !! I will not be participating in his plan. I will be in the bedroom praying they leave ! This may explain the noises of things falling . After we’d gone to bed only to be awaken by sounds!!!

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Wait what. This seems like a horror movie intro

[@noname-by3qz]

The only thing is...I used small chips of Irish spring mints soap near the door which keeps mice out. But then it rained a few times and I fell and hurt my tailbone badly. I wouldn't use anything soapy anywhere near where you might walk. The rain will spread it around.

Bro you are a life saver I don't have racoons but have cat issues I just ordered that gallon pump that's a awesome deal I'ma go get the ingredients today lol

[@malin7919]

I have installed a reolink security camera that can detect animals and trigger siren to protect my koi pond from raccoons. It works. Raccoons came multiple nights and each time the camera siren scared them away. I am in the process of installing some bird spikes along the edge of my pond. That should prevent raccoons from harassing my koi for good.

[@kishac3310]

Where can I find that reolink

[@TomCrosman]

You should watch out getting it on plants you care about. I used vinegar as a weed killer and it left large dead spots in my lawn.

I got a toy automatic gell blaster gun off Amazon for Under $25 and it doesn't hurt them but scares the crap out of them and doing that for like a week scared off the 24 raccoons that hanged out in my yard destroying my porch and my screen around my porch and they even were coming inside my house they would snatch things from my hand and run off with it they were far to comfortable with humans and i worried about my kids having an encounter with one so I tried all this stuff they say online to use nothing worked for me but that gel blaster/gel beads gun did well it worked for the most part I still get an occasional 3 raccoons that stop by here and there but they don't hang out for long and don't tare things up. It helped a lot I don't have raccoons coming up touching me trying to get my attention or a whole herd of raccoons following me to my car and anywhere in my yard I look like a crazy raccoon whisperer they follow Me everywhere and no I don't feed them so it makes it even more weird. They literally come running up to my porch when they hear me outside but they don't do that with anyone else at my house it's really strange. One baby last year was just standing there not running away from me with a rat trap stuck on his hand one of those TomCat black plastic kind I'm not sure what I've if my nieghbors uses them but they need to stop I just leaned down and prayed it wouldnt snap and bite me and I took it off it's hand it left a nasty mark that took months to heal all the way and after that he would come back every night and sleep in front of me on my porch and attack any other raccoons that tried coming on the porch he was my guard attack racoon haha it was cute though. Right around this same time another young raccoon had the same kind of rat trap on its hand and for two nights I watched it struggling with it stuck on him I tried putting out a live trap it didn't work then I saw it literally chewing away at his wrist on the out side of where the trap was stuck and the day after that he returned with no trap anymore and no freaking hand either! It looks like he just chewed it off to break free of the trap I felt so bad for him I wished he would have just been easy like the first guy and would have let me help him. But atleast he lived they both healed and lived it's amazing they didn't get an infection. 🦝

You are a delight!

[@afis8537]

Lol dude, i feel your pain with the racoons, but they are probably thanking you for the salsa dip you're creating for them. Racoons really won't leave because of something they smell. I've had many years and thousands of dollars of damage from racoons. I've cut trees, only to watch them climb the wall of my house like spider man. I've also had them rip threw my shingles, and put a twelve inch hole in my roof. They've dug under my shed tearing up the flooring, and destroying a shed full of items. Unfortunately, the only way to get rid of them is to trap them and relocate them, or shoot them.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

Oh wow. You’ve had a many run ins with them. My goodness. The solution kept them away until it rained! I ended up using red lights that kept them away

[@deanjagger1190]

@@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL They don't like red lights, like flood lights, that are motioned???

[@GravityDAD]

@@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL red lights?

[@cupcakekid]

Agree 100%

[@Mlspky]

Don’t waste your money on motion lights or noises. I spent $50. On a Critter Detector that flashed red lights and buzzed. The raccoons and skunks would walk right up toward it within one foot. I guess the best way would be to have a local Critter control come trap them and haul them away. There’s three raccoons and one possum and my five stray cats I feed. They charge up to $350. They would probably trap my cats and I don’t want to pay for them to trap them and release hem. I’ve got a real headache here at My Zoo! Ha!

[@honeybeereal12]

That doesn't work in New Orleans. These Possums and Raccoons love hot sauce and pepper. I was choking after putting it in my yard, a few hours later they were walking through the yard. These things are Cajun and Creole soldiers. If I see them on my camera, I turn on the mic and start yelling at them, sometimes they run and sometimes they just ignore me.

[@beebob1279]

Raccoons chewed through my door of the bee shed. I'm going to put carpet strips around the dood and seal it up with a hinge so they can get out but not back in. Then I'm going to use your concoction and spray it all around and inside the shed. I want them gone. They're a pain. If I need my bee equipment I don't want to be attacked by a raccoon. I don't want to kill it, just get it out of there.

How often do you have to spray? Does motion lights help?

[@Mlspky]

I have three fat raccoons that come around my patio every few nights looking for food. I feed stray cats but feed them inside my sunporch so there’s no food dishes outside. Guess they smell the food. My security cameras showed two skunks came to the door one night. I read you could scramble up a raw egg and add 6-7 adult aspirins to the raw egg mixture and the skunks would eat it and go off somewhere and die. I set one of these egg cocktails out one night and the two skunks came and ate it all. I haven’t seen them since and that was two months ago. I set a dish of eggs out a couple nights ago and the Raccoons didn’t even touch it. I even added a couple spoons of peanut butter to it as they like peanut butter. Is there anything else I can put out for them to eat that would “get rid of them”. I don’t want them around my cats and maybe give them rabies. I’m 82 years old and can’t get out and spray my yard.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

No we don't want that for your cats for sure. Do you have someone you trust that could come by and spray around the yard/house?

He's using way too much soap. A tablespoon or two is enough for that container of water, and that's if you're using an oil in the solution. And way too much vinegar for humans to be around, and will probably stain deck wood in combination with the cayenne. Should be sprayed around structures and on border lines and entry points.
