Can I just set a trap to catch them myself ?
Not recommended,
Raccoon removal and trapping should only be attempted and performed by licensed professionals that have many years of experience who understands the habits and biology of Raccoons and other wild animals.
For instance, raccoons will use a home or building to raise their young (pups), DIY "do it yourselfers" will set a trap or cover
the animals entry hole , removing the mother animal thinking the problem is solved.
It soon becomes clear that there are baby critters left behind and you can't get to where they are to remove them. OR, Other animals find another way into your attic because they smell the other animals pheromone scent and feces.
