3 Look for other evidence that raccoons are in the area to help verify that you have found raccoon droppings. There may be hair on fences or tree bark where they have been climbing, and the young ones often wear out areas at the base of trees where their den is located. Overturned trashcans and other mischievous activities often indicate the presence of raccoons.
4 Use caution if you run across a raccoon latrine. These are areas where raccoons keep coming back to leave their fresh feces on top of old droppings. They are often at the base of trees, along fence lines, woodpiles, on roofs or in unsealed attics.
