What Do Raccoons Eat In The City

What Do Raccoons Eat In The City

Raccoons are known as being scavengers and their reputation is well deserved. Whether you find them in the country or lurking in the city, raccoons can be seen wherever there is food around. Rest assured that they will not be picky when it comes to their diets, which is why it’s important for you to raccoon-proof your trash. You can do this fairly easily by securing the lid with bungee cords or heavy rock, using lights to deter raccoons, or sprinkling some ammonia on your bags.

Raccoons will eat pretty much any type of trash, but they prefer a mix of grains, vegetables, insects, rats, and fish. Depending on where the raccoons live, they might enjoy a diet of worms or crayfish. Some raccoons will even eat squirrels. Read More →
