Live traps work great.
Or, try this...Radio Shack sells a cheap IR activated motion 'dinger', and they work good too. Just place the remote/wireless sensor on the incoming path and when the dinger goes off next to your warm, dry, comfortable bed, you sssllllliiiiiiddddddeeeee out from under the covers, and pull a little sneaky trick of your own on him.

I saw the coon one night so I snuck out the front door, walked around the house, and then drilled him with an arrow :archer:.

Drop a bright shiny washer into the hole. Drive nails from the outside into the hole, making a mini pungi pit. Dump a little tuna fish oil, cat food, etc down the hole. Place the block of wood where they have been visiting. In the morning, chances are there will be a coon stuck in the hole. They see the bright shiny object in the hole, smell the fish/cat food, reach in and grab the washer. They will not let go.
Then just walk out and finish em off with a baseball bat. :chuckle:

Get a big block of wood. Bore a hole about 1.25" in diameter to a depth of about 2".

It calls to mind a story that a fellow told me about his experience as a summer employee at Yellowstone National Park many years ago. They housed at a barrack quite remote from the regular park visitors, and had bears regularly visit their garbage cans (this was many years ago). They used "available power" to electrify a screen on which the can was placed. They had a number of bear visits were adequately discouraged by the jolt delivered.
Then one night they heard an awful ruckus. They came out to find a corpse of a large, soaking wet bear next to the garbage can. This poor animal had just come across a nearby river, and was made especially electrically conductive.
They had to drag this large animal away to hide the evidence of their misdeed.
The best laid plans of mice and men...

I remember back in the 60's my dad rigged our garbage can to an electric fence charger in order to keep the neighborhood dogs away. As I recall it was an elaborate project . He burried 3 glass jars upside down, halfway in the dirt. Then he set the can on the jars and attached the fence wire to the can; it was plugged in at night and unplugged in the morning. BTW this was back in the old days when metal garbge cans were in style.
