Oakland Raccoon Control Tip: How to Keep Raccoons Out of My Garden 
Imagine waking up one sunny Saturday, getting ready to go get some vegetables in your garden. As you get there, you see that part of your fruits and vegetables have been stolen. Looking around, you see tiny paws that give the culprits away: raccoons!

But who can blame them? These masked bandits are just on a mission to get what they need to eat. As opportunistic feeders, these creatures aren't picky. Your garden is a haven for many of the foods they cherish. From sweet corn to potatoes to melons to strawberries to even grubs, raccoons will keep on feeding till they're filled. 

However, if you're like most people, you didn't plant a garden to feed these nasty critters. So how do you keep them out for good? In this post, we explore proven tips to make your garden raccoon-free. 

Remove Main Sources of Food 
In many cases, raccoons are first drawn to your house by the smell of food sources that aren't even in your garden - maybe it's a pizza in the trash can or the pet food you forgot to take inside. But when they get to your property, their eyes get drawn to your garden and that makes for the next natural destination. Therefore, your primary goal is to make your home free from other food sources. Some tips to bear in mind include:

• Make sure you properly seal off your outdoor trashcans. That way, raccoons won't be able to use their clever tricks to open it up. 

• Ensure that you take your pet food indoors every evening. 

• Your outdoor bird feeder should be hung at a place inaccessible to raccoons. Also, ensure that you clear away food crumbs from your feeder lying around. 

• Regularly clean your trash cans with bleach and water. This will eliminate the aroma of food, which draws scavengers. 

Make Your Garden Unappealing
If your garden is super appealing and accessible to raccoons, then why on earth wouldn't they be there? But by taking the following steps, even the cover of darkness won't make it any easier for raccoons to get in. 

• Keep a Clean Garden

While there are many food sources around your garden, that doesn't mean you should have fruits or leaves lying around. Ensure that you pick up fallen fruits and vegetables to keep your garden floor clean. Also, remove low-hanging ripe fruits from your garden.

• Repellents and Deterrents

Certain plants, smells, and even objects are natural deterrents to raccoons. By placing such items in your garden, you can keep raccoons at bay. 

• Light

Raccoons are nocturnal creatures. By placing a light source in your garden, you make it more inconvenient for raccoons to raid your garden at nighttime. A solar-powered light is ideal as you get to power it without adding to your electric bill. 

• Noise

Raccoons do not feel comfortable in a noisy environment. Try placing a small radio in your garden. The voices coming out from the radio gives raccoons the impression of humans nearby. They become too scared to intrude. 

• Plant squash around your plants

Squash vines are prickly, and raccoons avoid walking on them. You can therefore use these squash vines to protect your more valuable plants. 

• Ammonia

Place rags soaked in ammonia around areas in your garden with high raccoon activity. Raccoons dislike the smell of ammonia and will stay at bay. You have to repeat this process from time to time to ensure your garden is protected at all times. 

• Garlic + chili powder

Spread a mix of garlic and chili powder in equal parts around your garden. Raccoons dislike the emanating smell. Ensure you reapply the mixture after a rainfall to maintain its efficacy.

Fencing
Raccoons are great climbers, and that's why an electric fence is preferred. A double-wire fence is best for keeping out raccoons. The first wire should be about 6 inches from the ground, will the second about 1 foot apart. Ensure the wires are well tightened to avoid sagging. 

Trapping
Raccoons are highly adaptable, and they have a knack for trouble. Irrespective of what you do, some raccoons will continue to be a nuisance. If you're dealing with a stubborn raccoon, then trapping might be your final resort. 

Live traps can be used to capture the raccoon, after which it can be relocated away from your property. The raccoon can also be humanely euthanized if it poses an imminent threat. Check with your local wildlife authority to note the appropriate actions to take.
