This has been going on ~ years. Awful. I
I finally closed the cat door. Cat has to go through my bedroom and out part-open window. Iffy when guests using space!
I've been on-line several times looking for repellants. They seem to come in (a) odor -- ammonia, etc. and (b) taste - various concoctions of capsai cisn, onion, and other ingredients. All need periodic renewal after rain. (I wish!!!) The below solution from an on-line contributor is intriguing. Anybody ever try it?
"...raccoons seem to love to get into the enclosed area above our front por ch, the only thing I I have found to work is to place an old clock radio pl aying a talk radio station at just a low enough volume that we don't notice it in the daytime but the human voices do keep away the raccoons at night, the old radio finally crapped out and sure enough the racoons were back.."
Thanks for any input
