Any ideas on how to stop a racoon from pooping on my fence?

So we have had this racoon for five or six years, it likes to poop on the corner of my backyard fence, and the s..t piles up - in the same one spot. It is where our fence and the neighbor's cross, and he poops right in the middle of that. Any ideas? :ponder:

We had a problem with racoons pooping in our basement window wells. We placed mothballs there, and haven't had a problem since.

We can try the mothballs stuff, we can put them in a thin cloth and tie them there. We might buy a specialty repellant too!
 
Hunting stores or Sporting Goods stores with clothing might sell Wolf Urine -- raccoon is marking his territory. You have to convince him you are a something that might eat him - like a wolf.
 
We trap them in a cage and make hats. :D
 
I could use a hat :D it rains here all the time :D
 
Scoop the poop and then have your DH, DS, or yourself (if you can manage it) pee in the same location. It does work.

Cheers!

Costs $25,000. Cheaper to replace the fence with a wall topped by raccoon deterrent.:eek:

Well, if cost is a big issue - I would just convince my Presa Canario that the racoon tastes like beef. :hysterical:

Presa Canario were originally bred to guard and fight with cattle, an attack by this dog has been described as hopeless for the victim. They are a guardian breed with man-stopping ability, incredible power and a complete lack of fear.

I thought I'd seen everything in the forum, but obviously I need to keep a more open mind! Raccoon poop problem? :rofl:

And a plethora of suggestions. Go TUG!

I do feel guilty that the first thought that came to my mind was 'Shoot It'. However I have a elderly cat ("Trouble") that we think a raccoon (or possum) has gotten hold of in the past ("Trouble" had claw wounds on both sides of his face (he is a fighter)). So I have no tolerance for wild animals that hang out in my yard.

My Dad traps them and relocates them, I don't think they've come back.
 
One of my friends has raccoons climbing into his attic. They get up there and have a party, poop, pee, its all there. So, he drove them out and boarded up the places where they were getting in.

They just dug through the wood.

So he took cans and spread them apart and put the metal over the hole and screwed it in. So, they dug a hole beside the first one.

They are determined buggers.

It's All About Marking Your Territory

You really need to remove the racoon's scent and the replace it with your own. No need to purchase exspensive urine products. Yours will work fine.

Cheers!
 
A shotgun will do the trick.
 
Pour a full bottle of ammonia on the fence, if it's wood. Of course it will likely kill anything growing near the fence. But it will get rid of the animal. They hate ammonia because it smells like another animal's urine.

Take down the fence.

My grandmother in Astoria, Oregon used this method effectively. She had regular raccoon visitors, but they had free-range pooping ability, so it never created a problem.

My first thought, too. And I do feel guilty. Sorta.
