You need to check local regulations. Many states do not permit raccoons to be kept as pets. Some states allow it by may have municipalities that do not allow pet raccoons to be kept in the city.
"Pennsylvania allows people to have pet racoons" <---This answer is entirely wrong. It is illegal in PA to have a pet raccoon. The game commission will come and confiscate the animal, kill it and test for rabies.
Answer 2 is entirely not true. In pa you are legally allowed to own a raccoon as a pet, as long as it is not taken from the wild, and is purchased within the state, from a USDA approved, and game commission licenced wildlife propagator. Your receipt from purchase, is you permit to own. They must be kept as an inside pet, and not exposed to the general public. I know all this for a fact, because we are getting a kit this spring from Keystone Exotics, and I have spoken directly to the game commission in Harrisburg, to double check all the laws. They are only illegal if brought in from another state, which makes them contraband, or if taken from the wild.
Raccoons do not hibernate anywhere. They are active during the winter foraging for food. If the weather turns really bad, they will stay in their dens and sleep until conditions improve. However, it is not a true hibernation.

Why would you want to fumigate a raccoon? If this is a pet raccoon that has fleas or other ectoparasites, I have found the best way to rid them of pests is to us Sevin powder. It is low in toxicity for the raccoon but deadly to the pests. Sprinkle it all over the raccoon's body and rub it into the fur.
Raccoons are not natives to Australia and that country has very strict laws concerning the importation of non-native plants and animals.
No

The raccoon is the state mammal of Tennessee.
Yes, a male raccoon can be neutered but the animal will still not be a suitable pet.
Not overall at the state level, you should check with your local county or city government or any animal control agency in the state.
President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge had two pet raccoons.
No raccoon makes a good pet. They are wild animals and not domesticated. As they approach adult age the hormones kick in. The behavior of the raccoon becomes unpredictable. They can suddenly turn vicious and difficult to handle.

It may be the name for someone's pet raccoon but it is not used as a nickname for raccoons in general,
