What are they finding to eat? Eliminate it if you can, then they have no reason to be there. Live traps do work, friends of ours trapped a whole colony of raccoons that were raiding their quail over the course of a couple of weeks. Once when we lived in the city, we were punishing our dogs every week for getting into the trash. The neighbors had a paper route and while coming and going at 3 am they discovered it was actually urban raccoons who were tearing up the trash.

Kerley,
If you really want to get rid of them and don't care how, here's the way. Buy a can of fly bait and a can of coke. Put it in a pan, stir it up and put it where the racoons can drink out of it. They will go three steps and die. That's why it's called the three step treatment.
I've used it for years, and so far have never had a cat or dog drink it. It'll kill 'possums also. Probably catch some flack for this suggestion, but the animals can ruin a lot of feed. I have a neighbor that killed 38 rocoons eating out of his creep feeder in a two week period. gs

I've "heard" that Purina Monkey Chow will give the same results to "coons" only. Doesn't bother dogs, cats, etc.

Heck Walt..then you could just "pick'em" like beans. ;-)
BTW 3Way when someone goes into the Purina store and orders monkey chow lst thing the mgr usually does is look around to see who's in the store then ask you "Got problems with Coons?" :nod:

Sounds like you need my hounds. I would lease them to you for a modest price. 
Maybe charge so much per coon. :???:

I have never had a dog or cat get into the coke mixture, have had a possum tho. I use those disposable tin foil roasting pans and put a rock in the bottom so it won't tip over, then put in the potion. I am in the middle of a woods so have way too many coon around here, they tear up mineral bags, grain, bird feeders, and whatever else they decide they want to. Even tore holes in bags of mulch that were stacked by the house. Nasty dirty vermin!3waycross":2hzhyihi said:

Catch the coon in the trap and then.......pow! no more coon.......
