While they are not harmful, they are a big nuisance and can mean a lot of waking up in the middle of the night at the sound of trashcans falling over. It can be worth looking into the use of a raccoon trap if they really are becoming a big pest.<\/p>\n<p>When looking around for ways to trap a raccoon, you should think about your state or province laws.
