You can't just use poison to get rid of them. You also can't just set a few traps on the ground and call it good. Each situation is unique.

Bradenton Raccoon Control Tip: Which Bait Will Attract A Raccoon Most Effectively?
Choosing the right bait for a trap can have an impact on how successful it will be, and when it comes to raccoons they are natural scavengers, so will often take advantage of the presence of any food that they can find. When it comes to using a trap to catch a raccoon, you should try using gloves when you are placing the trap and the bait, as this will reduce the human scent around the trap and the food, and make it more likely that you will catch the raccoon. There are several different foods that you can try as bait for a problem raccoon, and here are a couple of options worth considering.

Meat And Pet Food As Bait
Although raccoons are omnivores, and can adapt their digestive system to most different types of food, most people who are trying to catch a raccoon will start off with a meat based bait. This can include scraps of meat from a Sunday roast dinner, or little pieces of bacon, while some people will also use canned fish to attract raccoons to the trap. Because the smell of the food is what will first attract raccoons to the trap, many people will swear by the use of wet dog or cat food as a bait for raccoons, as these will often have a gravy or jelly that carries a strong scent.

Fruit, Vegetable And Other Baits
While meat based baits are common, there are many people who will use fruit and vegetables to catch their problem raccoons too, and in this instance the sweeter fruits such as strawberries and watermelon tend to be more likely to catch a problem raccoon. There are also other approaches that people will take, such as dipping apples or vegetables in honey to make them sweeter and more attractive to the raccoons. It isn't just vegetable matter that can be used to attract raccoons, as there are also people who will only use certain baits such as peanut butter and marshmallows when they are trapping raccoons, and feel that these are the most effective options. 

How To Use Bait Most Effectively
When it comes to using bait effectively, one of the first steps to take is to try and minimize your contact with the bait, as the more human scent that the raccoon will pick up on the food, the less likely it is to be effective. When you are placing the bait in the trap, make sure it is towards the back of the trap, so the animal has to go in to gain access to the food. For this reason as well, it is usually best to use a rock or wood to weigh down the trap where possible, as this will make it less likely that the raccoon can move the trap to get the bait without having to go in to the cage.

The Other Key Factors In Catching A Raccoon
While bait can have a big impact on how successful your raccoon trap is, there are other factors that are even more important to the process, and with animal trapping it is the location that is vital. You should examine the area around your property to find an area where there are signs of raccoon activity, such as a hole in the fence they use, or near a raccoon latrine. It is also important to choose the right cage trap, as it needs to be strong enough to contain the raccoon when it tries to escape, and the trigger needs to be correctly weighted so that it does close the trap when the raccoon applies pressure.
