Watch out for rabid racoons.
Wear gloves at all times.

Rent a have aheart trap..they work the best.
You could also put a one way door on the opening in the roof that they have made. Basically its a cone shaped item made from rabbit hutch 1/4 in wire mesh.

Its shaped like a cone with the small part farthest away from the house.

They can climb out, but not back in.

If and when you trap them in the have a heart trap, in my state it is illegal to transport them...so I just fill a trash can with watre and dunk the whole trap in the water...

Then you get to dig a hole.
