where are you.. big city name.. what does you local county extension office suggest ....

how about fence the yard.. and install dogs ...

They cleaned, did a fire to clear the spores and sprayed some fluid. We are in Seattle. We do have a fenced yard and yes we did do the trapping but couldn’t capture all of them.

With trapping any animal, you have to be really persistant unfortunately. I know raccoons are not the same as outdoor cats, but I have Trapped-Neutered-Released (TNR) dozens of cats in my neighborhood and if ya don’t get them all, you can expect more next spring. We have raccoons who come after the dry cat food on the porch that has a cat door. But one of the outdoor boys went after one of the raccoons a couple of weeks ago. I was worried my cat would get hurt, but he was fine and I haven’t seen the coon since……go figure!
