I have a gigantic screened in porch - I keep putting the screens in and the raccoons tear them right back out - I do not put any food or trash on the porch, however they continue to get in there...Is there anything that keeps them away?;

Get an ultrasonic rodent repeller. It makes high frequency noises undetectable to humans, but completely irritating to rodents.

you can get one of those motion activated halloween things. preferably one that makes some noise and flashes lights. eventually they'll get deterred from coming back for fear of that little lawn ornament thingy

Unbelieveably, try urine by spraying it on the screen.
