How to get rid off raccoons?
Answers:
Raccoons generally feed at night, often times looking for discarded fruit and vegetables; they'll eat just about anything, really.The key to keeping raccoons at bay is to make your home a less inviting place to eat. Here are some tips:
Sealed or sheltered trash bins will discourage raccoons. Obviously, raccoons are digging through your trash to find a meal. Make sure you either keep your trash cans sealed (bound shut with cord) or put the trash in a small shelter, like a storage shed.
Fenced gardens will dissuade raccoons from feasting. Raccoons don't always look in the garbage to satisfy their hunger. Certain things in the garden, like small fruit will definitely suffice. If you can build a sturdy fence (electrified if possible) around your garden, you should see less raccoons hovering around your yard.
Live "Havahart" traps will help you get rid of raccoons. Far and away the best method of removing the nuisance of raccoons is to trap them live and bring them to a wooded area far away from your own home. Be careful though, raccoons will bite if they feel threatened. Wear thick gloves when handling the traps.
Motion-sensing lights and sound devices will keep raccoons away. The reason raccoons are nocturnal is because they're less vulnerable at night. Motion-sense lights and sound devices should scare the raccoons away, but don't depend on these devices for too long; eventually raccoons will learn they aren't really threatened.
Commercial repellents will stop raccoons. There are several online vendors of repellents, who claim that spraying their product on garbage cans and around yards will deter raccoons. Wolf urine is common, and has been recommended by wildlife specialists for quite some time

A co-worker of mine had this problem. He ended up trapping them himself and releasing them in the woods. You can also call animal control to come out and set up traps.
Put some poision down on the floor for them to eat.
Yes you can call pest control if you live in the city and they will help to get rid of them. Or find out whats attracting them garbage or whatever and dont take it out till its time for pickup.
call animal control. we had almost the same problem but raccoons can get pretty mean and nasty if u bother them too much plus they carry rabies and other diseases :-(
