I have two raccoons hunting my chickens in their coop at night, digging, trying to rip through the chicken wire. I have a small animal trap but so far nothing, won't go in it. I also have cats so I'm limited there as well. What is the most efficient way to trap them?
Havahart traps seem to be the standard among critter-getters. Live traps, so your cats should be safe. Raccoons can be bigger than you think, might try a bigger trap. http://www.havahart.com/ Then there's coondogs if you don't mind missing some sleep.
I can't believe how expensive Havaharts are now. Up to $120 for the XL trap they recommend for large raccoons.
Well. I was feedin corn to the deer and they keep eatin it all, so I tried the corn in the bowl in the trap,, and it worked. Good luck.
