From: David J Brooks
We have raccoons and skunks in our are and at times under my shed and
in my detached garage.
I hate them. I worry about the rabies a lot. They and the skunks tear
up my yard, nest in neighbours chimney's tear up my compost bin the
region uses to collect wet waste and create general havoc.
I don't know if it will work for raccoons, but for skunks, you can lay
down a perimeter of mothballs around your shed & garage and they won't
cross the line. We used to have a LOT of skunks around the training
sites at Ft. AP Hill, and they'd get into the tents. Post animal control
recommended the mothballs solution.
You'll have to keep an eye on the mothballs to make sure pets & children
don't get hold of them.
I'd talk to your county animal control agency about them as well.
I know there are baits available with an oral rabies vaccine. You might
be able to spread some of those baits around your property where skunks
& raccoons could eat it.
Again, you'd need to keep an eye on the bait so pets and kids won't get
hold of it.
