Make sure trash bins are secured and you are not leaving any pet food outside. If you remove any possible food source for raccoons they will go elsewhere. If that doesn't work, call your local Animal Control office for recommendations.
Yes, raccoons will root in the yard in search of earthworms and grubs.
food i guess if you put it in your yard it might keep other Raccoons away
Finding raccoons in your yard is a bad sign, period. Dead ones.. you should be a bit suspicious about the cause of it.
There is none except to remove anything that draws raccoons to your yard. Keep trash cans securely lidded, leave no pet food outdoors, etc.
Food is attracting them. You need to remove the source of food - make sure trash cans are secured and do not put pet food outside. When the food source disappears, so will the raccoons.
They do sell natural remedies such as sprays and bright lights that can deter raccoons, but there are no foolproof solutions. One of the best ideas is to clean up your yard as clean as you can, so they can find no specks of food, and to get metal, lockable trash cans that they can't break into (they are very smart). That, combined with some of the natural remedies, might help.

Racccons do not like confrontations with dogs and will try to avoid them. If raccoons know that dogs are present in an area, they will avoid that area. To protect property and gardens and trash bins people will sometimes have a dog loose in the yard to keep raccoons away.
First off, make your yard uninviting to raccoons by keeping trash secured and not leaving pet food out. If you have a fenced yard and a dog, leave the dog outside to discourage visitors when it is possible to do so. A word of caution: raccoons can carry a type of roundworm that can be transmitted to humans and cause very serious problems and can even be fatal. Never handle raccoon feces and it is best to not go barefoot in areas where raccoons may have defecated.

Yes they do. The raccoons that come out at night in our yard eat as many as we put out. They also like bread,peanut butter,jelly,marshmellows,chicken,liversausage,pizza, bananas,apples and cookies.
Several things in your yard can attract raccoons. If there is an open access under buildings, berries, branch or debris piles, compost piles, fruit trees, missing chimney caps and nut trees can all be an attraction.
