A Non-Lethal Technique for Raccoon Removal from Human-occupied Structures
Although biologically-based-repellent use among professionals may not be common, we believe that the potential of these and other repellents to modify or discourage certain animal behaviors through passive discouragement is high. We also wanted to quell unsubstantiated claims against all forms of repellents and encourage use of biologically-based raccoon repellents by professionals through confirmation of their efficacy and humaneness. We hope that further research in the area of biologically-based repellents will continue.
