I have recently sodded my lawn and raccoons are digging it up, apparently looking for grubs. Will it shoo raccoons?

It works on the squirrels about 50%. If you add a scarecrow, e.g. wooden or stuffed animal it works 100%. It should work on other animals too but I can not say for sure about the racoons. MB

I'd doubt it. I have been meaning to write a negative review for the product. It did not work at all. One bottle covers only a small patch of grass. Within one week we had dogs going on it.

Yes. It might be a good ideal if keeping away from raccoons. That way they can't empty the container

I have had excellent luck ridding my yard of grubs and ants but unfortunately moles also like to eat earthworms , so this is part of the solution but hunting moles is more of a solution.

I've never had Grackles raid my mine per se' - BUT I've had squirrels wedge themselves inside the feeder and feast away for hours... So my guess, if they wanted to get in = they would..

My son just put my electricity in my attic about 2 days ago, so I don't have a unit in my attic yet. Hope to be getting one soon though. I have a huge back porch & since I put a unit on the porch not a single squirrel has been on the porch. They romp up & down the trees in the back yard, but stay off the porch. I'm truly looking forward to putting one in my attic & I hope it works as well for mice as it does for squirrels.

Yes they will unless they are embedded in the grass. I had fun rolling it around the yard picking up the acorns from our trees

Not sure on grubs, this product really got rid of many of my pests like aphids and other leaf dwellers. My fruit trees are pest free and my garden box is thriving.

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

I live in a suburban area where I've never seen a rat, but there are many, many squirrels, raccoons, skunks and the occasional possum. Nothing has chewed anything on our composters, and we bought the first of the two we own a couple of years ago. With all rounded edges, I imagine that a rat would have difficulty getting its nasty teeth around anything to chew.

I don't honestly know If it were myself and its not I'd put it down ASAP I don't see any real problem . I've sprayed my lawn with diazinon Saturday morn and then put down this grub killer that afternoon harmed , nothing but the bugs as far as I could tell (: They were not at all happy .. Maybe someone here is a chemist or exterminator Pro and can tell you better then I ?

I would not leave it outside if you have raccoons, they will be able to smell the food and will attack! I had to bolt mine down so my cat would stop trying to open it, which is as annoying as it sounds and would result in spilled food when it sprung open sideways or upside down or would be wedged somewhere so it wouldn't open at all.

I doubt it. Raccoons are a unique problem in that they seem to be very smart. I was not able to keep them out of my orchard of apple trees even though I had multiple strands of electric fence wire starting just above the ground and going up to a couple of feet above the ground. I have no idea how they managed to keep getting in but they did and got or ruined about 50% of my apple crop.

No, this will only kill grubs in the soil. You might look into Diatomaceous Earth to kill those types of bugs organically. Good luck!

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.

Shake Away is unlikely to resolve your issue of skunks looking for grubs. I have dealt with this very issue, and found the most effective solution is to kill the grubs. Any grainulated insecticide (such as GrubX) that claims to kill grubs will work. You indicate the skunks are digging at the base of a tree. It is likely that grubs are inhabiting a much larger area than under the tree, so just get a bag and spread it according to its directions. The skunks will search elsewhere shortly after your next watering or rain showers.

That is an interesting question. I've had mine outside, and never had problems with animals - but we don't have Raccoons. If this were a problem, you could weight down the lid without any impact to the system. Also, I cut a piece of old carpet the exact diameter of the inside and kept the top (active) layer covered. This kept down problems with white flies, seemed to help keep the moisture in and sped up the composting. I would think it would also reduce any odors that might attract racoons. Just feed the can-o-worms at a steady rate, and the worms will multiply to the right number to keep up. Then there is hardly any odor, and the compost gets quickly devoured.
