It's burrowing near my laundry room, in like a ditch ... I threw a rock, and it stayed there. Then I went in the house, opened the window, and I can see right over him ... I threw a can near his tail, and it growled, but didn't run away !!

Toss in some mothballs. The smell will drive the guy out and not do any damage to him. Be sure there are no other places on your property where the raccoon can get into. Close up access under the house and sheds and stuff like that. If you want to really be nice. Put the mothballs in there in the late afternoon. That way the raccoon will be evicted when he is going to be active anyway, around night time.
Don't try to throw stuff at the raccoon or anything like that. Don't pester the animal. They are a lot tougher and meaner than people think. A raccoon can seriously hurt a person. Besides, you don't want to risk rabies or some other disease from the critter.
If the raccoon keeps hanging around, you may want to call a game warden. It is not normal for raccoons to stay that close to people and be seen. They normally try to keep away from people or be hidden. A raccoon acting differently may be suffering from rabies. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to consult with a game warden on this right now.

I agree with A. Mercer. You may also want to make sure there is no food source around your house. if you have outdoor pets I wouldnt leave the food out for verry long. Let the animal eat then take away what is left over. You can also get a live trap and bait it (most shelters/pounds have these that you can rent fairly cheep or DNR may set one up for free) and once the animal is caught you can take it way out in the country away from other houses and release it.

Once, I was sitting outside on this climbing thing we have in my backyard at night, and I heard something next to me and when I turned it was 3 raccoons- a mom and two babies. They were literally sitting right next to me! I got rid of them by making noise, I kind of made a hissing noise through my teeth and they left. If "your" raccoons aren't leaving after noise is made, call animal control because they could have rabies. Or you could always throw small rocks at them, but please don't hit them. It might frighten them away, but if they are rabid, they might attack. Stay indoors and don't let your cat out. Check with your vet about getting rabies vaccination for you cat, too. Hope this helps :)

Try going outside banging a pot with a wooden spoon and if that doesn't work call animal control.

you may have to leave it alone -they can be very vicious and carry diseases. be sure that all garbage cans are always covered. seal the hole and all other areas around your home. this will help eliminate places for it to hide.
