Can raccoons climb walls?

So, last night a raccoon snuck into my backyard to get to some candy that was left from a party. The gate was closed and the bars are much too close to let it through. There are no other holes for it to get through. Any other way he could have gotten in? I would like to have a coon free home.

Answer #1

They sure can….they’re pretty sneaky critters

Answer #2

Anyway I can keep them out? D: I’m scared they’ll hurt my tiny dogs.

Answer #3

Can you maybe put some barbed write along the edge of your fence? Or many a sonic device that chases them away (that would bother your dogs though)…raccoons are pesky and keeping them away can be tough….if you cut off their food source, they’ll go elsewhere - that includes garbage, pet food, even bird food and nuts.
