You can get rid of raccoons quickly by making your home an undesirable place to live. Here are the best ways to get rid of raccoons fast:

• Repair broken vents and screens leading to your home.

• Seal open access points into your home. Many raccoons sneak in through the attic, roof, or chimney.

• Trim trees and branches so raccoons don’t have easy access to your roof and chimney. 

• Thoroughly clean out garbage cans, remove all trash, and secure the bins.

• Don’t keep food or water outside.

• Add raccoon guards to outdoor bird feeders. 

• Clean up brush around your home—raccoons like to gather loose yard materials for bedding.
