Well...if you lace your trash with coumadin (rat poison, blood thinner), it may kill them, but it can be dangerous to humans as well. It is actually used as medication in humans who need to lessen the clotting capabilities, for heart surgery patients with mechanical valves for example, and can be bad if you come in contact with it...

The easiest way would be to sit on your porch at night and shoot them (with a bow so your neighbors don't hear)

I suppose you can use poison though....mmm....rice

I found this rice on the ground. It's OBVIOUSLY safe to eat!

Put the trash in a plastic trash can. Try spraying it with something scented. If they can't smell the trash, they won't go after it. (maybe one of those jumbo Little Trees?

Or put your trash out in the morning before the truck comes. Raccoons are nocturnal, they are active at night.

Side note: my grandparents' old cat was raised by raccoons.

They make these things, I think they're called "havahart traps". They're traps that are basically cages with one-way doors on them. Put one outside near your garbage can with something like peanut butter or food scraps or a 99 cent can of chilli in it, and wait for them to take the bait. (come to think of it, cat food would work best.)

(Make sure there's no fingers in the chilli. coons hate them fingers.

)

In the morning, if there's a coon inside the trap, call animal control. If it's the neighbor's cat (after the cat food), let it go or give it back to the neighbors.

Put a big rock or log on top.

that is why you mix it with some sudafed or morphene (if you have access)

mix antifreze and milk in a bowl, and put it on your doorstep.

You don't want to kill any of the good domestic animals like cats nd dogs, just get rid of the 'coons. Just bait a no-kill or snare trap with cat food.
