Electric fence strung on the ground instead of up. About 8 inches off the ground. Then run three lines about 10 inches apart. The other choice is to live trap them and teach them to swim underwater.

Havahart trap baited with Racoon bait.

I use the Havahart trap too and a fifty cents can of sardines works good for bait.

I always like the sound a ticked off Squirrel make as he throws his body against the walls of a hav-a-hart.

Wrong thread. Coons don't throw themselves into traps like squirrels. Harder to trap too. Make sure a box trap is clean of human scent. It often needs to be larger than the standard Raccoon size also.
