How can we get the raccoons out of the space between our roof and the ceiling?

We had the same issue in our old house. Over the course of almost a decade several raccoon families made their home in our roof and even walls (sometimes the babies would fall into a wall and squeal all night--I went into labor one night when this was going on.)

Get a black and decker noise maker. Leave in on somewhere where they will hear it anytime you are not home. You can leave it on when you are home, but it is a bit annoying. If you have pets, it will drive them mad. They are made to deter rodents and other animals. You can buy them on amazon for around $30. We used them in our yard to keep the deer away--that's how good they are. It worked wonderfully until we went on vacation and the neighbors had someone turn them off.

Good luck. Here is the product link:
