You can actually do this yourself very easily. You can rent or buy a Havahart trap (see below). Bait it with something delicious, like a piece of chicken--or even some dog food. They are so silly, they climb right in even when there is no food inside, just out of curiosity. Then you relocate them. This is the fun part. If you bring them to Humane society, they will be exterminated. Bring them to a forested area. They have a large family, so be sure to do this for about 14 days straight, and try and catch the whole family, otherwise you will leave behind some depressed orphans and disgrunteled concubines. They are really familial, and need to stay together. Be sure that where you relocate them, it is permitted. Some state parks do not allow this type of relocation because racoons carry rabies. (More in Canada than in the US)

Answer # 4 is about word for word the same as I would give and an excellent answer. It is especially important to continue setting the trap for about 2 weeks, and do be sure to release all the raccoons in exactly the same area, as permitted by law. Exceedingly important not to get bit by a raccoon because rabid raccoons are on the increase in many states. Our dog rabies vaccinations are 3 year for dogs- just for that reason.

I don't know about your area, but in my county, you can go to animal control services in your area and ask if they can help you. For example, some animal control services will give out fake cougar urine (I'm not joking) that will deter deer and racoons. Give it a shot, it's just a phone call. If you try to trap them, more will just come back.

I heard that raccoons don't like citrus. My neighbor had a raccoon in their garden, and they sprayed a citrus-scented cleaning product around their lawn. The raccoon was gone the next day. It's much easier and cheaper than calling someone out to do it for you.

they come in families. like people. get a humane trap and catch them and take them to a neighborhood of so called animal lovers or tree huggers( of course tree huggers live in condos. Just be descreet and take them near a stream and let them go. They sure can go fast. fun. watch your fingers, they bite when angry , just like people, I wish we could do that to the homeless that litter the parks and back yards.
for the benefit of people where it isn,t illegal to discharge a firearm in town, they are good eating.

whether the government does not in many situations negotiate with terrorists (raccoons) I recommend offering them effective commerce agreements and perchance construction a raccoon embassy adjacent on your backyard.
