I can’t help with poisoning or harming a raccoon.
Use a humane live trap or contact a licensed wildlife control professional.
Remove food sources like pet food, garbage, birdseed, and fallen fruit.
Secure trash cans with locking lids or bungee cords.
Close off entry points to attics, crawl spaces, and sheds.
Install motion-activated lights or sprinklers.
Use fencing or barriers around gardens and chicken coops.
Wear gloves and wash hands after any raccoon contact.
If a raccoon is sick, aggressive, or trapped, contact animal control or local wildlife authorities.
