It is impossible to keep the raccoons away from the yard unless you have a good fence. You may also try to use a motion sensitive sprayer to spray water but it is also not something reliable. You may try the relocation or trapping. What you want to do is minimizing the damage that the raccoons may be making in your yard. You should also learn why the raccoons come into your home like bird seeds, bird feeders and garbage.
