A Car is a Home for an Animal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It may seem very unsuspecting, but the undercarriages of\nvehicles can make a cozy little shelter for wildlife. Raccoons, opossums,\nsquirrels, and chipmunks are common nuisance wildlife found nesting underneath\nan abandoned, stationary, or junk vehicle. When it comes to raccoons, gaining\naccess inside vehicles is a very high possibility because they have human-like\npaws that allow them to open doors and windows just like us! Just be sure to\ntake extra precaution when checking your vehicle for nesting animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Animal Repellent<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

An effective and humane approach to keep wild animals away\nfrom your house is to make a homemade non-toxic animal repellent. The best\ningredients to use for your animal repellent include cayenne pepper, hot peppers,\nonions, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, black pepper, garlic, menthol, and eucalyptus\noil. These spices and ingredients will irritate wild animal\u2019s eyes and skin and\nthwart their interest in your property. But not to worry; it is safe and\nhumane. Just be sure to keep your dog or cat away from any application areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make your solution, start by mixing some of the mentioned\ningredients together and transfer the liquid into a spray bottle. For raccoons,\ngo heavy on the cayenne and cinnamon; they hate these smells, flavors, and sensations.\nFor other wildlife, incorporate other pepper-based ingredients. Once you have concocted\nyour solution, spray the perimeter of your property with this solution to\nprevent nuisance animal intrusions. These spices and ingredients will irritate\nwild animal\u2019s eyes and skin and thwart their interest in your property.\nRaccoons have excellent memories, so they will certainly remember that your property\nis no fun. This solution works well against skunks, opossum, and squirrels too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
