The utilization of robust magnets, thick nylon brushes, and new flaps designs create an exceptional seal, thereby serving as an adequate deterrent. Most small rodents will have a hard time getting through these doors. For larger animals such as raccoons, their attraction to smells is innate as they forage for food. By keeping pet food, treats, and other attractants away from openings, porches, and pet doors, the incentive for these animals will likely diminish, and encounters will cease. Wild animals are disinclined to engage in altercations with domestic pets, and will only do so if a reward (food) is possible.
