Does it work for raccoons?

Fox will eat (young) raccoon if given the opportunity, however raccoon probably would not be so accustomed to being preyed upon by fox that it automatically would run at the smell of fox. That being said, it probably is worth a try, especially if they are nesting near yur home. If they just come by and make a mess on your property, the best way to keep raccoon away is to remove their food source. This means high vigelence to your own garbage. Keep EVERYTHING: dead animals, garbage, garden waste, off your property. Do not leave your garbage in a bag, put it in a can with a tight lid. Removing their food source will encourage them to go elsewhere.

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.

It didn't work for skunks. It attracts cats like crazy! Don't know about raccoons, but I doubt it.

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.

We were using this product for raccoons not deer. It did not work on raccoons, unfortunately.

I don't think it will work with birds. I bought three units to deter racoons which were destroying my garden beds which had fabric/ mulch. They didn't do the job and I wound up using a haveaheart trap. That worked!! 13 racoons last year.

I do not think so; those raccoons are pretty clever. The "lock" is a lift and release mechanism which I think they could get.

I think the lid would open way to easily for a raccoon. Maybe with a brick on to weight it down it would be ok.

No it is to long for that unless your varmint cage went around the entire bottom of a 55 gallon drum. I don't have many raccoon problems were I'm at so these work good. They do have some feeders that go underneath and have electric fence wires kinds to shock the raccoons might try that one if raccoons are your concern. If not than these are awesome timers have some I've used for 10 years and still going hope these do the same

I think so But if it's outdoors and you use catfood as bait you may get a raccoon

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.

yes. We've had absolutely no problem with raccoons & we have a ton of them where we live.

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!

During the summer it seemed to work --- I saw no evidence of opossum or raccoon. I took the sentinel down for winter (covered my pond) and since have seen evidence of raccoon (skat and tracks). So, it seemed to work when the sentinel is installed.

This is what I know. The Frostfire is located at the front of the home. There have been no raccoons sighted since purchase of Frostfire. I have sighted raccoons in the rear of my home where Frostfire has no sensing due to distance and the home blocking the line of sight. I believe it would work against raccoons.

No I'm afraid not. But this feeder is the only one we have ever had that the raccoons have never been able to get into or tear apart.

It will catch anything that will go in it. We caught a squirrel, two raccoons, two opossums but no armadillo, which was the main reason for buying it. It is roomy so if you can find one smaller it will work as well. Hope this helps you.

I think it will keep raccoons out, providing that they don't "learn" how to work the mechanisms. It has a two part opening sequence, a little complicated for raccoons.

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.
