Hi,

Any suggestions how we can keep a motther raccoon and her three babies out
of our yards and garbage containers?

Thanks.

Where I come from the solution is a 12ga. shotgun,
a good coon dog,
and a big flashlight with fresh batteries.
If that's not an option in your area ,trap them in a live trap and
release them in the wild as far away from your house as you can get ,
but check with your Fish and Game Department first for the legalities
of doing so.
