If you already have then use a professional company that uses a one way trap door to remove them and prevent them from entering again. A one way trap door will allow them to leave but not get back in. If they have babies, they will need to be removed and placed somewhere they can be found by the parents. If you do not remove them the raccoons will do a lot more damage trying to rescue them. In addition there is the smell as well to deal with if they should die in your attic. The pest control services companies will provide you with arecommendation regarding all potential entrances and what to do about each of them.
The best way to deal with raccoons in your neighborhood is to remove all potential sources of food from them. If they cannot find anything to eat and they cannot find anywhere to hole up for the day, then they will move on to another neighborhood. Don’t leave your garbage out at night. Remove all possible food sources. If you have grubs in your lawn, both skunks and raccoons are going to be coming for dinner, not to mention your grass looking pretty sickly. Kill the grubs and you will remove this food source.
Clogged gutters also provide a source of drinking water so keep them clean and clear. Bird feeders are a favorite as well as mice that might hang around to take advantage of the bird seed. Remove tree branches that overhang your roof and block all entrances to underneath your deck. They may still come around but at lease they will not remain for long.
