It is not a good idea to control animals by poisoning them. For a start it is a cruel method of control (the racoon will die in pain) and you must then think about what may come and eat the body of a poisoned raccoon after it dies. This animal too will become poisoned and die and so with anything that then eats that animal's carcass.

If your raccoon problem is bad then get a qualified/authorised pest control company to deal with the problem.

Yes it will, and for all you over the top nature lovers, it is the most humane way to end the life a a wild animal, by poisoning, anyways. Raccoons are not the precious little cute and cuddly animals people see on animal planet, in fact just like many wild animals raccoons are highly aggressive, they are the American version of the Tasmanian devil from Tasmania, raccoons will attack anyone, any exterminator that has had experience with the critters will tell you that only professionals should handle these creatures or experie-(my word i have gotten off subject)yes rat poison will kill a raccoon as it will any other animal(might want to watch out for any other curious creatures) with enough dosage it can even kill a human, so if a raccoon ingests the whole block it will most certainly die(aside from Natural selection) Yes, I'm a Nature Lover and will tell you that raccoons are not aggressive unless they are hungry > so, if you find an aggressive one, do as I do , FEED HIM! They DO NOT ATTACK anyone! As for rat poison, don't use it but instead use a good snap trap that is quick and no suffering is involved.
