Does it work to repel raccoons from passing thru a narrow entrance or using it around a pond to deter them from messing with my pond?

This has not worked for me. I have used it around my bird feeders and around my (Koi) pond but I have not found it has done a thing. I tried both the spray and the granules but neither was effective.

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

It stopped the squirrels in our yard. They did not try to break directly through the net. But you do have to pin it down to the ground or tie it off low or the squirrels will climb in underneath.

We've had raccoons try to get in the coop, but they haven't thought to use the door. They just try to dig underneath. (We've got screen mesh across the floor to prevent them from getting in underneath.) You can tighten the door latch to make it harder to twist.

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.

I have racoons that come and visit the yard. I have had this door for about a year. It works great and the company stands behind the product. If a raccoon makes it through this door, then the cat with the tag is close enough(about 5" I tested it) so that when raccoon tries the door it opens if the door is set to open that way at that time or door must be destroyed to be able to get in. This door locks very quickly after my cats come though. Have not even had a fast stray cats make it in--but my cat did and the door locked. My first door stopped locking and the company replaced the door for me. Hope this helps. I have racoons that come and visit the yard. I have had this door for about a year.

Hello, I have not used it for that purpose but it doesn't have a lock or snap feature and it does open up very easily so I am sure that raccoons will surely be able to get in!

It kept the racoons out of my sweet corn. Chickens would probably fly over the fence. It might keep chickens in if wing feathers are clipped.

This is not an answer. I just want to see DualScan respond to Pastii who noted that a raccoon did get through it. I bought the "regular" door and it presented no problem at all to a raccoon which is why it received a one-star review. This product was recommended, but appears to be just as useless at preventing raccoon entry. So, SureFlap, care to offer a guarantee that it keeps raccoons out?

sorry, don't know. I returned this item because it didn't work for raccoons.

I doubt that it would keep animals away from a large area. It keeps cats away from marking our back door and stored feed in the shed, but they still come close.

yes it would keep raccoons out you would have to put the wires so they could not crawl under it and put one so they could not crawl over it

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.

The Pest-a-Cator works through the wiring in the walls, as you probably know. As long as your RV is hooked up to electricity of some kind, I think the it would help deter mice and rats. I really don't know if it discourages other animals like squirrels, raccoons, etc. We had a problem with mice in our home, installed 2 of these and haven't seen mice in months; we keep them plugged in "just in case". Good luck!

Hi Lynn,The Yard sentinel does effectively repel deer, squirrel and chipmunks. Although squirrel and chipmunks can often be deterred by the same frequency, deer tend to be effected by the lower end of ultrasonic sound.For best results at repelling multiple species at the same time, try the "continuous sweep" setting. This will allow the unit to randomly cycle through all of the available frequencies rather then targeting a specific pest!Regards,Rick JCustomer ServiceDeal Republic

I would think if it can repel a bear it wouldn't have a problem repelling a raccoon.
