CANNOT catch the raccoon!!

[Mattemma]

If a trap isn't working I would put out some poisoned food.

Maybe another trap,but cover it with greenery.

put a cup full ove the horse feed or chicken feed in the back if its a live trap i use to trap a bunch of them in my barn eating all the feed

We use a live trap. We set it three days in a row with canned cat food and trapped one each night. They can't seem to resist wet cat food.

Mabe you can try putting a verry large peice of shiny matereil inside somthing it would be coult on- you now like inside a log and the only way to get it out is to turn the shiny thing a little bit. The racoon might try to take it out but his hand would get stuck and racoons are verry persistant. Racoons like shiny things!

Might not work though... I'm new here.

Someone had told me antifreeze works. Wouldn't know how to get it in food and was told its a sure shot.

set the trap somewhere and leave it dont go and check it every day if you can set it and see it from a distance that is ideal after a week if you still havent caught it order you a duke foot trap set it where he is pulling the wire back on the coop it will get him he shouldnt chew his leg off by morning

Also with a live trap make sure it can see all the way through it. If they can see a back then it usually won't go in. Also I prefer the whole 12-Gauge bit but I'm from Arkansas so what do you expect. I would rather kill the lil suckers than to make them "someone elses problem". But hope you get rid of em soon.

This used to work but much of if not all antifreeze has been reformulated for newer cars with aluminum radiators and engine blocks and is now less toxic.. You never mixed it with food, they would drink it because it was sweet. Also it doesn't always or only get the target animal but any cat or dog or bird that drank it. I view this and many other posts on this thread as uninformed and obvious that they many have not trapped anything ever. The last 2 posts are knowledgeable as are some others.

polyethylene glycol is still poisonous polypropylene glycol is used in the food industry

They love candy. Hubby catches them with cheap grape koolaid powder moistened a bit with water. Cheap bagged candy works well too. They love the sweet stuff.
