I have an animal that is using my roof for it's bathroom. There is poop all over! I think that it's a raccoon or a possum. Does anyone know how to get the animal to stop pooping on my roof? Help me!!!

    Sit ot there with a paintball gun and wait for it to be caught on your roof? That's what I would do

    call your local county extension agent--they can set a trap or safely take care of it and they can identify the scat and tell what type of animal it is.

    I suspect you can't *stop* it. You'll have to call animal control and have them trap it and relocate it. HOPEFULLY they will use a *have a heart* trap and not harm or kill it- just relocate it humanly.

    Good Luck! :flowerforyou:

    Cut down any trees or limbs that are overhanging the roof. If tree limbs are near enough to the roof that a raccoon or a possum can get on the roof then they are probably rubbing your shingles on windy days and that will do more damage than some animal droppings.

    great idea, yyzdnl!!!!

    i have heard people use elaborate special electric eye triggered water guns - or spray coyote urine around (i wonder if that is an improvement?) but this idea above seems more cost-effective and a lot wiser

    At least it isn't an elephant. I'm an optimist.

    Maybe I can use my husband's urine...it's probably just as potent!
