does this do raccoon calls?

No. Raccoons respond to food. Lay a trail of corn. That will bring them out for sure. Always lay in same N spot too

Better? Yes. Raccoon proof? Not necessarily. This kept our inquisitive neighborhood raccoon at bay for a while after he deciphered our normal SureFlap, but he eventually made it through the DualScan.

Hi Patsy, About 4years ago I had purchased one and it worked fine. Animals would squeal when they came within the sensor. I have just purchased 2 new ones and they do not work like the first one. The light comes on as you say, but the animals don't even notice. I recommend you return them. They don't work. I have tried having them closer together. I have monitored at night time when the racoons and skunks come. I don`t know what the problem is. I have tried varies things to see if it would make a difference, but no change. Send them back, the company should know that they do not work. There is no volume control to adjust the volume to see if that would make a difference. Mine are going back too. I am sorry if I misled you. I am disappointed with them. I hope you can find something that works. I`m trying to find something as well. Joan

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!

A large boar raccoon did a number on my trap. I can't give a specific answer except that it took a lot of tweaking of the trip rod and the hinge loops on the pad to get it working again.

NO!!!!! The only thing this unit did was irritate my neighbors. Squirrels, Chipmunks, Cats and every other creature Laugh at it and some danced to the sounds & strobe lights. It should be advertised as a animal Disco. I returned it and kept my neighbors & dealt with the critters in other more conventional ways. Don't waste you money on this piece of JUNK!!!! Read my review and other answers to questions on this item.

It will trigger on racoons I had it triggering on small rabbits, but I'm not sure if it triggers on squirrels and birds cause I haven't found any pictures of them on the camera.

Now having one winter behind, my answer to the raccoons is "no" it does not deter them. They sit on the rail, grab hold of arm, swing it toward them. Have ended up taking the feeder in at dark EVERY nite. Found is does not freeze at 0 temp...arm moves freely.

No, it seemed to work for a while, but the animals got used to it. you need a ton of it and have to reapply constantly. I have quit using this product. I bought those high frequency sound tubes you stick down into the ground. They emit what sounds like a distress call and sends the critters in the other direction. They aren't foolproof, but better than anything else I have ever used for squirrels, moles etc. I only saw 1 squirrel in my yard last summer. Hope this helps.

It plugged in. And no, it did not work for me to scare away the raccoons that were getting into my pond.

The product works well for rabbits. While I do not know for certain, my guess is that it would also work for raccoons. The scent of a predator likely would repel these critters as well.

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.

I don't think, so, it makes a sound ever so often. The reason I purchase it was to keep away the squirrels. Seems like it is kinda working.

No it does not. It vibrates very very loud. That is the extent. Also, it does not have voice call. Push the button and it dials the last person you called.

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.

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.

Not sure. My guess is that yes it will work if you choose the proper settings. It worked great for me keeping deer away from the garden. My experience with raccoons is that you need to play AM talk radio in the area, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They will leave.
