    Raccoon problem - getting solved

    These traps are great. I have had a terrible coon problem for years. I've tried all kinds of traps with limited success. I put out 5 of the Duke dog proof traps and have caught 8 coons and 6 oppossums in the past 10 days. I also second buying the d\setting tool.
