Sure, if one saturates a attic with say a box of mothballs -- about a pound? (from Wal-Mart) something will happen. Probably you will get a headache and have to open up your house for a few days or else leave -- because it is equal to fumigation.
What happens, and this is in a 3000 sqft house with 15ft ceiling on average- is the baby raccoons are subject to die from the constant exposure to the napthalene based substance which probably overwhelms the baby raccoons nervous system. On the other hand a mother raccoon seems to be immune from the effects of this treatement.
From my experience 5+ months battling the same raccoons? The moth balls were probably worse on me than it was for at least the mother raccoon. However if the mothballs do overcome the young and they die; the mother will depart for a time from the attic to get this- remate and then come right back and have another raccoon litter and start over. This is enough to drive anyone up the wall.
thinkRaccoons can not be tolerated in an attic, people will get sick somehow. If you can not afford to have a service come out and do it, then by all means either seek to employ traps to capture them or kill them. It must be done as soon as possible - otherwise the adult raccoon will be able to develop multiple entrances to the attic and adjust its behavior based on your patterns to where it becomes more and more undetectable. I think raccoons are like submarines say when under a depth charge attack - they learn to not make a sound when you are trying to aggressively locate their whereabouts.
All in all this is going to keep on costing more and more money and divert ones attention and energy from the things that matter. Defininately house and person are in some danger when raccoons are just a few feet overhead.
