Raccoons are not actually native to Europe. Therefore, they are considered an invasive species or neozoons. Animals that escaped from fur farms and enclosures managed to reproduce and establish stable populations. Additionally, raccoons were sometimes deliberately released. The small bears found ideal habitats here. The population in Germany has now reached a seven-digit number. Whether raccoons cause damage here is disputed. Many experts believe they need to be controlled. As a result, they are on the "list of undesirable species" of the European Union.

Due to their adaptability, raccoons can even invade urban areas. In the city, trash cans serve as a food source for them, and they often raid fruit trees in gardens. Attics are frequently used by raccoons as sleeping places, which they dirty and devastate. Many people also feed these mustelid animals. This causes them to lose their fear of humans and can make them very intrusive. This leads to conflicts that necessitate the use of a means to deter raccoons.

You can now protect trash cans, attics, and other areas where raccoons cause problems with raccoon deterrents. The device emits ultrasonic sounds that are bothersome to raccoons over time. Humans cannot perceive ultrasound in this frequency range. However, raccoons can hear it very well. This way, the animals can be driven away in the long term. Our raccoon deterrent has an adjustable frequency range to prevent habituation. At night, a bright LED flash light provides additional deterrence. Ultrasound and flash light do not harm the animals. They are merely unpleasant and serve to encourage the animals to seek a more comfortable place to stay.
