In my area we cannot kill them

but live trapping and relocating is OK

Take it at least 15 miles

I'm remembering the story of the city on the west
side of the river, that had a major raccoon problem.
So they hired a firm to take care of it. They trapped
several thousand racoons, and moved them to the east
side of the river.

The next year, the city on the east side of the river
called the same trapping firm. They had a major raccoon
problem.

Why bother, a river is just a minor annoyance for a raccoon. They are
excellent swimmers.
This is a whole family swimming across the river next to me

Yep...and squirrels can swim across a river too...
