I attract raccoons mostly with tuna fish, cat food and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but they will eat anything that is sweet. Since they are scavengers when they live near people they will eat almost anything. I often attract them when I am trying to attract other animals. They have even raided my bird feeders. If you have food , a spot for them to make a den and some water around you will have raccoons at your house too, even if you live in a city.
Raccoons are nocturnal which means they come out at night.
And they tend to stay in their den in the winter , although they are not true hibernators, so wait for spring and summer, to try and see one. I also plant a small corn field just for them. Which my deer like too. I can tell if it was raccoons in my cornfield because they usually knock down the entire stalk to get the ear of corn. They eat a little and knock down another.
