What do you do when you find a raccoon in your garage? You might wonder how it even got in there. The answer might be as straightforward as leaving the garage door open.

An effective temporary solution is to soak rags with ammonia. The reason why this is supposed to be effective, is because ammonia is similar to the smell of their own urine which they do not like. That is the reason why raccoons have latrines. When raccoons smell ammonia they will vacate out and search for a new place. Remember that this is only a temporary solution and that this is not a guarantee for the raccoon to stay away definitely. Alternatively, you can use ammonia-soaked tennis balls and spread them all over the garage so the smell permeates throughout the area.
