No,I have /had these all over my garden all it seems to do is give them light to continue what they did before I put them in!

I shared your pain to keep those cute guys away from our beautiful yards and plants. For my case, the deers ate away my stuffs. The gurad appears to be working for situaition, noticing the their track on the snow ground... I become an inspector ! Buy and try it. I bought three of them, one failed to turn on and returned it right away. Amazon is very helpful for return... best in the online industry.

I have them to protect my chickens. I have had no problems with critters. It's suggested you put the predator at the level shown on the instructions for the particular critters size. The Predadtor was recommended to me by a friend who uses them to protect goats from coyotes. He swears by it. He has 4. Me, all I can say is no problems with the possum or raccoon who got 3 of my chickens BEFORE the Predator. It has blinking red lights. I plan on buying a few more. They work up to a clear distance of 1/2 mile. I'd get them again. It's worth the try

Since the Pest-a-Cator doesn't affect dogs, I'm not sure if it would be effective on raccoons or 'possums. I read that it will deter squirrels in attics if set up properly, however. Try contacting the manufacturer via their web site (also see their FAQ's); perhaps they can give you a better idea if the product might work for raccoons. It has worked well for our mouse problem!

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

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

I bought this humane trap for catching raccoon which size is less than 20 lbs. the trap can keep a 20 lbs cat inside it depending on how far you bring the cat does, I mean if just keep several hours, it doesn't matter, if keep it inside for a couple of days. it is not good to use this trap. This advice is just for reference, thanks.

Yes! Absolutely! I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!

I have been using Havoc for years....with complete success.....I have found very few left over critters in the house......I had an issue in my 2 bay garage....after I baited the garage area and the sill of the house inside, I have not had a mouse in the house for years......they generally seek water.....and leave.....I would say bait the attic, but also bait the sill of your house in the basement. they can move around quickly....replace the bait, once a year.

Well I used sardines to catch skunks that were digging up lawn for grubs. It could injure paws if they pull to get out. Very hard to set and release. My son did it. I suppose a cat could be attracted to bait

NO, I think it is for groundhogs specifically and it worked beautifully on my two properties. Look at this companies other products to deter rats. Personally I think you must contact a reputable rodent specialist. You have got to be aggressive and use the best traps and bait. Good luck and get this handled as soon as possible. They can breed out of control an destroy wiring and spread disease. Yucko.

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

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

If you simply throw the chunks of poison out onto the patio or around your yard, some of the poison will be carried off and away by other animals .........such as squirrels. If you throw it into the entrance and exit holes the rats use they will push it out of their tunnels. Havoc works well, I recommend threading a wire through the hole that is present in the bait and securing the ends...........sort of forces the pests to eat the poison in place and then you will see the product disappearing ..............and you will know then to keep an eye open for dead rats around your property/ If any of your neighbors have pets or small children a bait box may be a much safer way to go.

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

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!

Doesn't kill - repels. I have 3 dogs with back yard filled - no more!! An hour after placing on they detached and were waking off my dogs after I was certain they were all off my dogs. Suggest the collars to keep them off and treat your yard, neighbors, trees, vaccuum inside. Nasty little things and love my collars!! In central Texas near a field. Good luck!

My duplex neighbor and I have 3 of these units to ward off raccoons. Neither of us can hear any sound from them. Your unit may be defective. I remain very pleased with the product. Good luck.

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.
