Raccoons equal troubles. They are extremely clever at
outsmarting the usual obstacles in their path and have nothing better to
do. Their front feet are used like hands and I swear they could learn to write
if you took the time....
However, they cannot resist food, such as sardines or peanut
butter, and don't seem to be able to figure out the mechanism of a humane
cage.
You can catch them easily this way and release them
far enough so they don't come back (farther than you think). A golf
course facility may be another option if you feel so inclined, so that they
can forget about your orchard.
A dog that hunt raccoon is also a very good choice, as it
will hunt at nigth while raccoons are up about and you are blissfully
sleeping.
Hélène, zone 3-4, where the populationn of raccoons is
impressive due to the proximity of a federal park with picknick
grounds.
