The best thing I have found to do is go to your local wild life department borrow a live trap for a raccoon which the deposit could be from 60-90 dollars. Place it where you have seen the raccoons the most and bait it with tuna fish, canned cat food, canned oysters. (thats what i use) But, make sure the cage is secured to the ground or a fence. Raccoons are very smart and will flip the cage over to get the food. Next find some small holed fence and place around the entire back side where the food is, so the raccoon can not reach in and just grab. I use boards tied to the trap. After you have caught the raccoon, you have two choices depending on your state laws. You will either need to kill it. Straight shot between the eyes or relocate it. (most states prohibit relocation) If you feel you can't kill it you can hire someone to come out to do it for you. No matter what you do when handling the trap with the raccoon in it you must wear protective wear. The best course is to assume it may have rabies. So wear leather gloves, long sleeve shirts, and long pants. When handling the trap, use the handle and don't hold it by the sides or bottom.
After we trap and kill our raccoons we then put them into a burning fire pit, because having them in a trash can will bring in other predators.

Fish or something aromatic foods to attract them. If it's not practical, contact the critter guy to remove it.

You can use traps like a cage, I recently used a cage, but they can still escape, so I just contacted the critter guy to remove them. It's less hassle for me.
