Male Raccoon Urine

[Cal C.]

I recently had a problem in my personal residence with raccoons.   A mother had given birth and was raising three kits in my attic, even though it is a miserably hot GA summer.  Anyway, once I finally figured out they weren't squirrels (when they got big enough play and thus be seen) I searched for a way to get them to move on.   I was advised at the local pest control store to use male raccoon urine.  Apparently, the males kill the kits so that the female will mate sooner. So when a female smells a male's urine she takes her kits and moves on.  I simply tied some urine dipped rags to twine and then threw them around the attic.  The twine made it easier to retrieve the rags.  This solution worked great for my house.  I did it myself for $12, the critter ridders wanted $200.
