How Do You Keep Racoons Out Of Garbage?
Raccoons may be cute creatures but anyone who has ever lived in close proximity with them can tell you that they cause their fair share of problems. They seem especially fond of getting into garbage. Overflowing or easily accessible trash cans seem to be an irresistible temptation to raccoons foraging for food. Here are some tips for keeping raccoons out of your garbage. Put your garbage out for pick up in the mornings. Raccoons are nocturnal and will get into garbage cans at night. By removing the garbage from the area, you eliminate the problem all together. Keep it clean. If you must leave your garbage out overnight, make sure it is enclosed and not overflowing or easily accessible. Raccoons will smell messy garbage cans and come running. Make an enclosure. By building a simple wooden enclosure to store your garbage you will greatly decrease the chances of raccoons getting into your garbage and making a mess. Consider using a latch to keep the enclosure closed and not readily access
