How do you clean raccoon poop out the pool?

Answer 1

You can try putting a safety net over the top this also makes it safe for kids and if you do it may pay to put a tub with water some where for them to use that way they may not try to interfere with the net.

As you know raccoons are nocturnal and love water (they use water for cleaning themselves.) Short of a barbed wire fence you could use censor lights around your pool. Even though you can often see raccoons in the daytime (I live in British Columbia and we have that problem) censor lights do startle them. If this doesn't work then I would take the suggestion of the other poster. You call animal control

Answer 2

Try sprinkling pepper or removing any food sources such as bird feeders, garbage, pet food, and net off your vegetable gardens. If you have any other questions email me harlexquinn@fagilicious.com

Answer 3

There is nothing you can do to the water itself to keep them out. Leslie's Pools sells a net that you can cover your pool with. Once they get the message that the water is not accessible, you should be able to remove it. This is also a good solution for ducks.

Answer 4

The feces is usually on the first step of the pool. Get a wet vacuum cleaner from Home Depot or Walmart (<$30). suck the feces with water. dump the water from the collection tank of the vacuum cleaner. Repeat till you got it all.

I was told that if you throw a alligator blow up toy in the pool, than they'd be scared away. I am yet to try that. If it leaves mark on the step, use muriatic acid to clean it up. muriatic acid is very corrosive, so please be careful.

Answer 6

they make these little underground electric fences that you could put around your pond so that it will ward off the raccoons.
