They look like raccoons to me! We have so many around here...they are native to the area.
Even if they aren't carrying any dangerous disease, they are so very persistent. It's difficult to discourage them. I once got into an altercation with a raccoon and it refused to leave, even when I hit it on the head with a broom!
Edited to add: I don't typically hit animals...this happened when I was a young kid.
