does dualscan keep raccoons out

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

We had some clever Racoons coming in our garage. I tried all sorts of things to keep them out (like making the entrance really narrow, or trap them etc). Nothing worked. This cat flap did the trick.

The Dual Scan does keep the raccoons out. I've had it for a few weeks and have had no raccoon visits since installation.

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 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.

As long as you haven't microchipped your backyard raccoons, they shouldn't be able to enter through this door. The battery-powered scanner releases a small white latch (see pic) when a microchip is within 2-3 inches or so. The is another latch --a round handle that twists and physically blocks the door from opening--and it is located in the lower right corner. It's well designed: twist to the left prevents the door from swinging one way; twist to the right prevents the door from swinging both ways. We really like this door, though the animals needed quite a long time to learn not to fear the sound of the latch opening, and not to fear the idea that they (for the first time in their little lives!) have the freedom to come and go as they please. Please make sure your pets are neutered before letting them out!! There is no need to contribute to the tragic population of millions of unwanted cats and dogs that we face today.

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, 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.

I can tell you one thing, I had this set to repel bugs but there were spider webs on it 4 weeks into me plugging it up. If it couldn't scare away the spiders, I doubt a raccoon will be deterred.

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 only used it for Deer? As for the raccoons, I'm sorry to say, I haven't a clue, but if you have Deer in addition to the Coons, this only works in a very limited area, of travel for Deer, and they simply step around the area it's put out in, I would imagine, if you do attempt to use it for Coons, and have an entry exit point, not too large it may work for you? Sorry wish I could have been more informative. I do not recommend this product for Deer!

We have two in the woods in North Carolina. The only solution(after talking to Wild Birds Unlimited) in our area is to bring the feeders in at dark. The keeps the raccoons away. Everyone around here does it this way. I leave the hooks out. Ours locks pretty well. You could slip a strip of wood in the hole where the hook enters the bracket to get it some extra friction. Hope this helps.

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...

Not sure . Their are various frequency settings on it depending on the animal. Settings include deer, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, cats, dogs, rodents. The mount the device at the height from the ground specific to the animal you want to deter. Mine is mounted at the height of a walking cat, I still have squirrels in my yard.

Yes, you can see IR at night. I use it for 2 legged trespassers as well. Mostly for deterrent. I have other security cameras installed and use this one pick up the back of the property where other security cameras can't get at night.

I guess it would depend on how large the bobcat was because I think some are very large. I have trapped raccons many times with no problem. In fact one time I had two small coons at he same time.

if you keep it set to use the collar tags for the cats then the only way the raccoon can get in is to piggy back the cat so I would say yes

Yes ! I had one in my garage a year ago. it ate the wires on my automatic garage door. The repairman told me he had seen this problem before and recommended I get Coyote urine. I have not had any issues with Raccoons, mice, squirrels or deer since using this product. The only animal that it doesn't seem to bother are cats. Spray problem area(s) about once a week unless it rains.

Since we don't currently have raccoons here, I don't know if it would deter them.
