Frequently Asked Threats

If you have questions about the raccoon menace, we have the unvarnished, terrifying truth.

Can raccoons open master-locks?
It depends on the model. While they struggle with biometric scanners, most standard padlocks take an experienced raccoon less than 45 seconds to compromise using a discarded paperclip and pure malice.
Why do they hiss when I say 'hi'?
The 'hiss' is actually a high-frequency reconnaissance ping. They are mapping the dimensions of your garage and estimating the door hinge strength.
Is it true they have a leader?
Rumors of 'The Great Trash-Father' in Toronto's sewers are as of yet unproven, but the high level of coordination during garbage night suggests a centralized command structure.
What's their biggest weakness?
Total organization. They rely on our complacency. Once you start tracking their movements at EvilRaccoons.ca, they lose the element of surprise.
