I don’t think many of us are knowledgable in the field of racoon poisoning and don’t know how bug spray or other mild poisons will affect a racoon.
Uh, I’m pretty sure bug spray isn’t constantly put in a raccoon’s diet, so it’ll probably find bug spray in its food pretty disgusting.
CH: Right. I suppose I should add to my suggestions “do some research into what will sicken but not kill a racoon”
Hint: don’t ask anybody that’ll get suspicious, i.e. The Humane Society. 
If you add dirt or something equally disgusting to the food, I’m sure it’ll work well too.
I stand by my Tiberium experimentation.

Dirt? why in the world would a racoon find dirt disgusting? Aren’t these the same animals that dig plants out of the dirt to eat them? Just don’t feed it, setting out food that you find disgusting is likely going to entice a racoon and make it come back. If by chance you find something the racoon doesn’t like do you think it’s going to be insulted and not return?
If the raccoon finds bug spray delicious, then I stand corrected.
In book I read back in middle school, a young boy had to train his dog not to roam off their property in search of food. What he did was put out peppered pieces of meat so that the dog got the point that the food wasn’t good to eat. I have no idea if that would work on a racoon.
And, how lazy are your pets if they’re not going after an animal intruder? Did they reach a truce with the racoon or something?

Heh. His pets are named Neville and Chamberlain. “Appeasement all the way!”
Actually, I think he said his dog was aged and past its prime. Plus, racoons I think are pretty nasty and intimidating to, say, cats.
A couple of hints on how to get rid of a raccoon entering through the dog door and eating your cat’s food, by Nulani t’Acraya
[ul]
[li]Buy a magnetic lock for your dog door.
[/li][li]Feed it a McDonalds BigMac: Give it a stomach ache.
[/li][li]Pour a bottle of really hot spices on the said cat food.
[/li][li]Buy a trap.
[/li][li]Capture it and ship it to Nulani. I’ve always wanted a raccoon.
[/li][/ul]
I’d nudge the raccoon toward the doorway with a baseball bat. Remind it who’s on top of the food chain.

Jesus, don’t kill it, you bastard, its a Raccoon! The cutest animal in the world! What the fuck is the matter with you?!
Instead of killing it, kill its family! Never go for the Kill, when you can go for the Pain!

Are you nuts or plain sadistic?! Damnit, just lure it, capture it gently and release it in the wilderness!!!

And are you nuts?! There is no such thing as capturing a raccoon gently!
Lure it with food, make it eat too much and fall asleep.
you should get a gun shoot the damn rat.
death to animals!:o
We should get a gun and shoot the damn animal haters!
Hey, wait a second! Kyle, can I borrow your Bryar Blaster?
Put some kind of tranquilizer in the food. make it sleep. You can get some at the vet. Or better yet, PUT THE FOOD WHERE THE RACCOON CAN’T GET IT!!! YOU MORASS!!!
Actuallt, the drugged food idea sound good. I suggest that.
Then shoot uit.
