Put peanut butter or something sticky that won't tip off for bait, if you try again. The problem with actually catching the bugger is that you have to let him go again, and he's probably not going to be very happy. If anybody gets bitten and he gets away, you're going to need to have the shots.

My best advice: CALL (county) ANIMAL CONTROL! Raccoons are a species of concern when it comes to rabies - not sure if they're currently #1 or #2. Animal control will likely try to trap him too - but they've had more experience.

You need to find out how he got in, because even if you get rid of one raccoon, you'll eventually have to evict all sorts of critters.

As for mothballs - Kendall, I tried that on the squirrel that was in my attic. I think I de-flead him, and he just moved the balls. Instead of the usual running-around and gnawing noises, I had to listen to him playing marbles up there.
