The only thing that I have found that works for coons, and black bears is hot wires, that they pay attention to. Great horned owls also.

Good luck.

sorry about the pictures i deleted it by accident, i attached them to the post but i guess they didnt come out great.  For the raccoon i took a small fish and added plenty of pepper to it, cayenne and chili powder, i guess the coon took a bite of that and never wanted to come back again....

Hey,
Couldn't believe my eyes last night, I was in my house just playing around, then here comes my  sister telling me that she saw raccoons outside.  In a split second i ran out to see for myself, i went out and didn't see or hear anything, until i see these raccoons one by one climb down my neighbor's tree, they sounded just like squirrels how they ran down that tree. I immediately took a rock, a ball of dirt anything to throw at them, then i ran to get the hose to scare them off, i wanted to give those coons what they deserved. Let me just tell you i saw so many coons that i lost count their must of been 7 coons if not more their, when i saw the coons come down the tree their were some pretty small so I'm guessing their were some babies, and also all the coons were in a group together.  After they scurried down that tree they were going around my neighbors deck searching around plant pots, my neighbor has his lights by the door opened and their was one coon who just ran up to the door, thought that he was going to enter    i thought coon were scared of lights guess not.

Well, I've seen it all, wish i had pictures to show you guys.  What a night.... .......................

Get the trap set and leave it.......Also you can try marshmallows/peanut butter to get the coon. I trap and know that coons have a thing for sweets. Also if it is a family it would be wise to have more than one trap. And when you do relocate them make sure it is FAR away. And I'm kinda wondering why some folk are doubting that there could be coons in NYC. Coons can pretty muchly live anywhere there is food and water...which could even be an apartment building.
Good Luck with the Coon Capper!
You need a good ole .22!!

Thanks for the advice PAcoturnix, but is it worth it to bait a trap if their are more then 20 coons roaming around?, your bound to not get all of them. I think an electric fence would be better, but my pond is ok now i covered it entirely with wire mesh, it doesnt look all that great with the mesh buts its this or i have to wake up every morning finding my fish gone missing.  Yeah coons are pratical city animal i dont either understand why its hard to believe that a city area wouldn't have coons.

Yep i do need a good ole .22 but i'm not old enough to own one, or am I ?.. .....

  Technically, in the real world, you are.  In Liberalville, I doubt it.  Good idea, for you?  Let's vote on it.

Don't give up so easy.   I'd get those coons one way or another. Make yourself a new hat or some underwear with their hides.  You could be the neighborhood taxidermist, along with all those other names the neighbors have gave you.
