At my old house which is on the market, the racoons come up onto my rear deck via the stairs and an adjacent tree.

And they have just crapped everywhere up there. I have to go and hose off the deck every few days to make sure some potential buyer doesn't get freaked out.

I don't have any other suggestions on how to get him if the shooting doesn't work, but he has to go.
