Raccoons Keep Getting Into My Shed

Raccoons keep getting into my shed. I keep trying to block an open area where they get in, but they are always able to remove it. I'm a senior, on my own, and none too handy with tools. Any suggestions on how to make my shed less inviting to them?

Mary, Moth balls really work, we had trouble with raccoons-bad!. I would suggest sprinkle the moth balls around the shed-that's what we did and it worked.

Well its not free...but it solves the problem. There is this stuff called "shake-away". It is a powder with coyote urine...a racoon's predator. They avoid the area, fearing their life. It really works! we had a problem with a chipmunk living in our shed and there was NO WAY we were killing it...so we found shake away at www.critter-repellent.com
All natural and no one gets hurt, works great! under $20.00, low ship....they probably sell shake away at hardware stores by now. oh well, good luck!

How about putting a box of moth balls in the shed. They are not supposed to like the smell!

Sprinkle the area with cayenne pepper. They will stay away.
