Taste and Smell Deterrents for Raccoon Control

Taste and smell deterrents have different functions and behave differently so it is important to select the ones that really suit your needs.

Ro-pel® gives a bitter taste to anything that is being chewed on including garbage bags.
Dr. T's Whole Control keeps raccoons from digging up garden beds and lawns in search of grubs and insects to eat.
Critter Ridder keeps critters out of indoor spaces as well as away from ornamental plants, garbage, soil and mulch.

Ro-pel®
Ro-pel® gives a harmless but very bitter taste to all chewables and edibles that you want to protect. This product has a well-deserved place in the work of repelling not just raccoons but also squirrels and woodchucks/ground hogs, and a long list of other interlopers including beavers, cats, dogs, birds, mice, opossums, rats. Use Ro-pel® to treat areas where they have been digging, things they have been chewing (where you want them to stop), and entrances and exits to formerly infested areas once you have plugged them up.

Dr. T's Whole Control
This repellent, designed for spraying over a fairly large area, discourages raccoons, moles, voles, gophers (pocket gophers), squirrels, armadillos, etc. from digging up your lawn or gardens by giving the sprayed soil a bad taste. A castor oil extract, Whole Control is non-toxic and biodegradeable and won’t harm plants, turf, or soil. It coats food sources and causes upset stomach that conditions nuisance animals not to return. The container comes with a hose-end sprayer for easy spray dispersal.

Critter Ridder
Critter Ridder repels by scent and taste and contains a formula of oil of black pepper, piperine and capsaicin.
The granules are most useful indoors when hung in mesh bags or set out on paper plates in areas like the attic (or wall voids), basements, storage areas, sheds and barns that were once infested with raccoons. Indoors they wil last up to 3 months. Outdoors they can be used to sprinkle small areas of lawn and garden beds for spot treatment in problem areas.
The ready to use and liquid concentrate are ideal for preventing digging in lawns, garden or landscaped areas. It is also good at protecting garbage bags from predation. Not recommended for use on tender plants. Lasts up to 30 days so be prepared to reapply with some frequency.
