Many recipes but they are mostly the same.

Get a bottle of Tabasco sauce or a small can of Cayenne pepper. Put it in
about a gallon of water and maybe bring to a boil for a bit, if powdered
pepper. Add a few drops of dish detergent to make it stick and be more
slippery.

Put in a spray bottle and spray it where you don`t want them to go. It can
last up to a month.

OR

Buy a bottle of commercial spray that contains roughly the same things for
about $20.

Or

Find some coyote urine and spray it around

A friend who lives in a mobilehome at the edge of town is having
problems with racoons.
Other than eating up his plants and keeping him awake at night
frolicking around on his roof, his girlfriend is terrified of them.
What are some methods he could use to get rid of them?
Shooting is out of the question.
Someone told him to try ammonia but he says it doesn't seem to do any
good.
