Identification and Habits
An average raccoon is 61cm to 91 cm long with a unique black mask and ringed tail. The standard weight is between 4.5 and 13.5 kg. These small animals are nocturnal and are known for mischievousness. They like messing with garbage cans and are the reason you find refuse scattered all over your compound every morning. Basically, raccoons live in hollows inside tree hollows and logs which are near water bodies. They also dwell in densely populated places and are a huge nuisance in their search for food and shelter. Their dens are also found in existing structures especially behind porches, attics, outdoor buildings, and chimneys.
Diet
Coons are omnivorous, feeding on small critters and plans. In summer, raccoons feed on fishes, insects, sails, mice, clams, and frogs. They can also eat chicken eggs. They like to roll sod back as they look for grubs and earthworms. This causes significant damages to grasses. As summer exits, they shift to feeding on fruits, nuts, berries, corns, and grains. Their major signs are damaged lawns and messy garbage cans. If pet food is left outside, they can eat it.
Reproduction
Raccoons are mammals the females bear young ones through birth. Their mating season is usually between February and March. The gestation period of a female raccoon is 2 months. An average litter consists of 3 – 5 young ones. At two months of age, a young raccoon accompanies their parents to search for food. A family of these mammals stays together for about one year.
Interesting Facts
The Best Control Methods
Truth is, these animals are hard to control particularly when they have young ones. Many times, babies are hidden in places they cannot be seen. If they die after abandonment, they cause a strong foul smell. If this happens, call us immediately to take the right measure. This is our emergency number: (707) 200-6638.
Ammonia
If you didn’t know, coons are very sanitary and do not go anywhere near toilets or bathrooms. Ammonia is a natural deterrent for raccoons and it can be used to soak towels which are then tossed in the animals’ dens. By smelling ammonia, they might think that their nest has been urinated on hence desert the place. Another method is the use of predator urine which is found in most pest control stores. Urine rom lions, wolves, bobcats etc. can be sprayed around the coons’ hang outs. It is an effective trick that scares them so that they leave.
Scarecrow
The scarecrow for raccoons is a motion-enabled sprinkler which, when triggered, produces an abrupt sound and action that scares away a coon. It also wets the small animal.
Guns
A gun is the most surefire way to kill a raccoon. But law concerning firearm usage must be followed. There are certain guidelines for killing the animals.
Trapping
This is by far the most effective raccoon control method. However, after trapping the animals, they must be relocated to the right destination according to the state’s law. A trap should be big enough and stable. Because coons eat almost anything, it is easier to bait them. Canned pet food can be used as bait for instance, or a fruit. Care should be taken when relocating them as they can bite.
