Use a deterrent such as pine sol or ammonia soaked rags. Cayenne Pepper sprinkled around a problem area may help. Noise, lights and constant intrusion from humans will make a raccoon uncomfortable enough to make it seek out a safer den. Keep birdfeeders and surrounding grounds clean to avoid disease and rats. Animal repellents may be effective on plants.
Deer often avoid trees and bushes which have been hung with small bars of soap.
Hotel soaps are best suited for this tactic. Pierce them with a bent paper clip and hang them at just above and below the animal's head height, every 3 feet or so. This has been effective with a number of species. If animals are abundant and nibbling on your ornamental plantings, investigate alternative planting which may not be as inviting. Check with Dept.
