Will it keep raccoons out of a pool yard?

We had the unit set up facing our garden and it kept all animals out. It is annoyingly noisy and at night it flashes a light off and on so consider that in a yard application.

No...it didn't work for me. I tried adjusting the settings, but still no luck.

It did not help to get rid of opassom previously. This time I used it to help my male dog to mark only in the back yard. It did not help eather. Sorry could not help you with raccoon. It sounds that it may work. Good luck.

I can tell you one thing, I had this set to repel bugs but there were spider webs on it 4 weeks into me plugging it up. If it couldn't scare away the spiders, I doubt a raccoon will be deterred.

So far so good. We use for raccoons and cranes. Cats too - protecting fish in a pond! Good Luck.

In !my opinion, yes it would be racoon-resistant due to the construction. However, I don't have any experience with raccoons, so I don't know for sure. One fact is they might be able to lift the cover, and get in that way.

I think it will if you can get it close enough. I use it for ducks invading my pool and crapping everywhere around it. I ALSO HAVE A FAKE ALLIGATOR in the pool so between the two&gt;&gt;&gt;no ducks&gt; The strobe is pretty bright in the night.

Hi Aubin, sorry I am late with this response. I have used this item for inhouse only. I keep it mainly for rats and mice which knock on wood has solved my problem. Also works for spiders but I highly doubt this is powerfull enough to work on raccoons ------I don't think those guys are bothered by anything. You can use them in a garage but I think the capacity of what they keep away is limited. These are great for inhouse-----I do change them every 5-6 months.

Not that I know of. We have raccoons and squirrels in the area and I haven't seen any evidence of them getting in there.

I believe so. It works great in our yard at my koi pond, quirrels and small birds also set it off. It also keeps our dog from drinking pond water.

We do not know the exact diameter of the pole or the baffle; however, the pole is about 6.5 feet high and the baffle is about 3-4 feet long. I don't see how a raccoon could climb up the pole, so the answer to that question would be yes, it would stop raccoons. However, it doesn't stop squirrels!

Since we don't currently have raccoons here, I don't know if it would deter them.

I have had no trouble yet, it is in an area that we see outside our window and have nuthatches mainly going in for the suet. The raccoons just dismantle it and I needed to modify so they would stay out of it.

I haven't found a standard pool cover yet that will keep ducks out. The cover is very lightweight, but it appears to have held up over this severe midwestern winter we've had.

Predator Guard deterrent lights are designed to repel 'wild animals' - if raccoon have become habituated to a home or property and have been visiting your yard regularly for some time, Predator Guard lights will have less effect. If raccoon are still 'wild' and visit your area only occasionally, Predator Guard lights will be more effective. Many people have success using ammonia-soaked rags as a 'smell deterrent' and hot pepper flakes as a 'taste deterrent' alongside Predator Guard lights.

We live next to a wildlife refuge and are inundated with fox, raccoons, etc. and have never had a problem. The latch system that closes it is similar to what might be on a toolbox - you hook a metal loop over at protrusion and them push down the lever to secure - don't think even the clevest raccoon could manage that and the plastic is thick and off the ground so they'd have a hard time chewing through. We've had ours for about 2 years (even order a second one) and have never had a problem.

I really don't know but this item needs to be at their height level. I have this on my swimming pool deck for the raccoons because they like to swim in the middle of the night and have one by my fish pond for the big birds that want to eat my fish.

I think the lid would open way to easily for a raccoon. Maybe with a brick on to weight it down it would be ok.
