invite one of your local coon hunters to come in and hunt them about once a month and you can get rid of them pretty quick. Find a coon hunter that really loves the sport of coon hunting and they will treat you and your land with respect. I live in Eufaula AL. and I use to get invited to a place in Brewton Al. and we would hunt all night once a month. I haven't been back in about a year now because the coon population is still way down.
