I haven't yet tried it on raccoons, just squirrels. It was a disappointment. The squirrels didn't like it and they threw it out of the attic, onto the ground but it didn't chase them away. In my experience with raccoons, they have a little more on the ball than do squirrels and I can imagine that if a raccoon has an established pattern for finding food and shelter in a particular place, it would take a little more than the fox urine to get rid of it. We have both foxes and raccoons on my place and they don't seem to get in each other's way. Let me qualify the above remarks by noting how much colder than usual this winter has been. In the last 30 years that I've lived here, we've always had a squirrel or two that have overwintered in the attic. It was a little annoying but they didn't do any damage. This past fall, I had a terrible time with multiple squirrels and rats moving into the attic, gnawing on the wood and making a lot of noise. I was concerned that they would do damage to the PVC plumbing and the wiring. I wondered, at the time, if we were going to have a cold, wet winter. Turns out we have. Under other circumstances, the fox urine might have worked, if the squirrels perceived they had other shelter options. I ended up having to shoot five of them off the side of the house. In 30 years I've never shot that many. I finally had to do a lot of work closing off any possible entries to the attic.

i do not know about raccoons as i did not have any of those pests but it absolutely got rid of the groundhogs! Just be sure to sprinkle all away around your house or buildings because the groundhogs will just turn a corner a dig there!

I didn't have any problems with raccoons so far; I think the coop is very secure. I lock my chicken in at night and close the attached run in addition. I do remove left over food from the run and also the water bowl. I do not want to attract mice or rats and this seems to do the trick. In addition I clean the roost and coop every 3-4 days so no parasites can dwell there; the chickens are checked regularly for mites, so far I have no investation. Good luck with the coop and the hilarious chicken.

Can't really say that it works on all critters all the time. Have witnessed deer and raccoon who don't seem to react to this device.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.

We used Shake Away to discourage rabbits and possums from our flower beds. We haven't seen a raccoon in our area for quite some time. Altho, it has been my experience in the past that the raccoons that hung around our cabin in WA were not at all afraid of a fox. They were bigger.

I have no idea if it will work with raccoons. Moreover, I cannot say that it really works with mice or squirrels either.

I might be being played however, I do not, and could, have trouble with raccoons. I do use the product shown on the left of the screen. Sweeney's Mole and Gopher tool. It works for me. I have sent it to friends in other states and it works for them.

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

No. I have had a few issues with them now.. My son still has bugs and we keep his space very clean. You cannot tell if they actually work and I do believe I got a few duds. I do not recommend it for small animals like a racoon. Get yourself a live trap!

Don't know about raccoons, but we bought it so birds wouldn't fly over our pool and drop "presents" in it...will let you know in the spring if it works...great conversation piece regardless! We based our purchase on someone else's review for the same purpose, and they had success! It IS noisy, so that fact might deter raccoons.

We never used it for that purpose so I don't really know. We have seen a raccoon that went after birdfeeders and trash cans, but I never thought to spray for that purpose. I think a strong mint oder repels raccoons. This product has a light mint scent so it might be worth a try, but I can't really say it would work as well as it has for deer damaging plants in our yard.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

This has worked for raccoons for us. We have one of those "squirrel-proof" green bird feeders that has the flap across the front that closes with too much weight on the perch. The raccoons would climb up over the back of the feeder, lay flat across the top, and empty it every night. We bought this baffle, and the first night, we heard them trying to get around it. The next morning, the baffle was covered with muddy raccoon prints all the way around it for about 1 foot up, but the bird seed was untouched. Now, if I could only figure out a way to get rid of the grackles...

Yes unless you put a collar on a raccoon you will be fine. The door timer can be adjusted and once the animal with the collar goes through the door closes immediately and anything else that tries to come through, the door will close down on them deterring them from entering.

You can fine tune it to detect racoon size animals. It might work, as long the the spray is directed to the location where they are. On high, the jet is very powerful.

I think you could use it for a fox. There are different sizes and i bought two. This size trapped two raccoons at one time.

mine has worked in Colorado on both skunks and raccoons for over a year. it just took about two weeks for the skunks to be convinced that that high frequency sound wasn't going anywhere. good luck.
