hi. On this problem I would suggest calling animal comtrol. They will come out and catch him and relocate. Problem is that there are so many of them that you may always have one or two around. I found that by beinmg sure that I had nothing around to entice them( garbage open, etc that they would then stop lurking.

If you want to get rid of racoons put a portable radio where they like to go and turn the volume on high. You can put a timer on it if you know when they like to frequent the area.

Thanks Joyce. I will pass on your suggestion to my husband. One problem. Racoons are nocturnal. How do we prevent the neighbors from reporting us for noise polution. :-/
