You could add a quickly evaporating solvent.
If the malodorous chemicals are produced by living bacteria then the solvent may kill them, but it probably won't degrade the chemicals themselves.
Infact, it would probably break up the oils surface tension, which may add to fluid penetration.
I bet this would really enhance this functionality. Add maybe 5-10% solvent by volume. Maybe less.
You may want to find an abandoned facility for any development work on this project, unless you're comfortable summoning a hoard of curious raccoons. Also, cause wind.

Why are there so many people wanting to lure raccoons that there are actually multiple products for them?

Same reason there are so many fishing lures.
Although, fish rarely break into your garage, or throw your trash all over your yard. So, maybe people want to kill them more.

Lure and kill as opposed to repel and dissuade? I've had raccoons, but they mainly just cruise through and maybe knock over a plant. An airsoft BB can be pretty discouraging.

In the south, coon hunting (no jokes please) is still very popular.
