A wild animal uses my entrance as a potty, how can I stop this?

Question

A wild animal is using my entrance as a potty place. For the size of the stools, looks like it could be the size of a cat or small dog. Lately, it seems like it is using it every night. We haven't seen what it is since it only does at night. I have small children so I have to be careful with what I use to stop this. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

you should like....fence yourself in. safer for your family and yourself inside the house anyways. you know how  dangerous it is outside??

Answer 2

A Gun would work best, but I am assuming an ambush attack is not you Idea of solving this problem.  A live trap might be better for you.  your local animal shelter should have one for you to borrow.  take the animal far away in a safe place.  If you want something less hands on...this might sound gross...but your urine is best...now we dont want to see you peeing all over, so pee in a container and pour it in the problem areas.  now you are going to ask for a less nasty answer...and the truth is, they dont work.  pepper, and other animal repellents only work for hours not days.     I am soory...but pee is free.

Answer 3

Could it be a raccoon? If so, I suggest you borrow a live trap from the local animal shelter and once you trap the critter, take it to them. They will usually take it somewhere far off.

Wildlife often relieve themselves at certain places to mark territory. Consider your entranced marked! The critter is trying to tell you that he/she owns the outside while it is giving you permission to remain inside.

Answer 6

Animals often revisit the spot where they do business as the smell signals "this is the place I do my potties". This is specially so with felines. Thoroughly wash the area and treat it with a concentrated, strong smelling disinfectant. This may do the trick. For good measure add a good dose of cat And dog repellant. Good luck.
