How to Catch a Raccoon in a Live Cage Trap

[@BobSell]

I had some folks ask me where to buy this model cage trap. I bought my on Amazon! Here's the link: goo.gl/B7tduW

+The Eye Opener For The Blind Did you not hear the guy int he video? They were getting into his GARAGE and making a mess of things.. and its not like he is hurting them, he was going to relocate them.. plus some can carry sicknesses like rabies. --also on where to buy the cage. Home depot sells them.. I work at home depot and we get alot of them in every day. seems people must have the same idea as you to relocate lil critters like that.. just becareful cause sometimes people's cats and stray / loose dogs might get stuck too.

[@towenster1]

+The Eye Opener For The Blind Are you kidding me? These animals are the WORST! They can destroy a house in no time. Their spoor (that's poo for city folks) has a parasite that causes Spiro-plasmosiis....which destroys your lungs. They are incredibly destructive to property as well....Catch em, take waay out into the woods and let them go. Don't need to kill them, but they need to taken at least a couple of miles away or they may find their way back....

[@kit-wild-g3l]

BP roundworm is not in every raccoons feces. There are less than 30 cases of human infection EVER in history. Unless you eat feces it's extremely hard to contract ;) Every dewormer on shelf kills it, oh and the common puppy roundworm? It blinds 500 kids a year - but I wouldn't recommend driving all your neighbors dogs far away! Raccoons are in our neighborhoods for reasons - reasons that rodents will take over unless we reduce attractants, or that several more raccoons will come along for so removing them is a waste of time & money (unless you're in it for the money).

[@kit-wild-g3l]

Raccoons are NOT RODENTS.

Katherine McGill ha and bears don't poop in the woods😂

[@Oscarthegreat290]

I bought a cage at Home Depot for around $75. I had to install a mesh around the cage because the racoons kept stealing my marshmallows from the sides using their long fingers. I also anchored the cage with two rebars so they wouldn't move it and activate the trap release from the outside. I caught 4 from a family of 5 that kept using my pool and pooping in it! It's a good idea to install a camera with night vision to study their behavior and see exactly how they approach the cage and where they come into your yard. They can climb a 4X4 like nothing or they can walk across a cedar fence like if it were a sidewalk. They use their long fingers wisely. Once I studied them, I caught them in the exact same place using the exact same method. Number 5 never came back and I have seen him walking across the front of my house through my security cameras!

What I do for baiting is an empty tuna fish can wired to the bottom or back of cage. This deppends on if you have a double door or single door trap.

In this video I'm showing how to catch a raccoon in a Live Cage Trap! I'm using the Haveaheart Cage Trap. Ideal solution to catch and release that won't harm the animal.

[@macio7642]

Fuck all this shit I'm shooting them on sight

[@idnintel]

***** Ok, that was the other method I was considering. Especially with skunks I hear the CO2 puts them to sleep and they don't spray - I didn't think of putting the trap inside a garbage can and that up to the tailpipe though. Thanks for the idea!

Many raccoons will reach into the traps wired grid and draw the food out. And if you do trap one they have one hell of a growl. Not for weak people , This ia a heavy adrenaline rodent ready to attack.

[@BobSmith-mc7uq]

Had the same problem. Went to Lowes & bought some plastic gutter guard screening & zip tied it around the front area of the cage, so they couldn't reach in & snag the food.

We live out in the country, so the raccoon population is pretty big. A lot of them have rabies too. I wish I could relocate them, but there is just too many and they keep killing our chickens, so I have no choice but to shoot them.

Plus once you catch one, it may never go in a cage again. Relocating it may make it a problem for someone else. Same approach is good for skunks too.

[@r-erin2go380]

You know I am dealing with this right now. They are in my attic space. The trapper set a trap and they will locate. My dad immediately said Oh so then it becomes someone elses problem. He isn't wrong, and I am about to use my 9mm. This is costing alot and I can't get up on my roof bc of a bad shoulder so I had to have someone come out. Thankfully all my duct work is underneath my home in crawl space and that is all sealed off with heavy gauge wire or I'd be so LIVID.

[@r-erin2go380]

@@srchnfrcj You know I have more than one up in roof. Are they smart enough to know their friend is getting trapped tonite and will avoid it?

I can't prove it just yet, but I'm 90% sure it's a racoon thats killed 3 of my chickens. (I'm also trying to relocate it to racoon heaven.)

[@brendahatfield7510]

I have that trap or one similar but the raccoon was so mad, and kept biting on the wires, the catch thing that keeps the plate up and the door open won't work. I also think the trap wires are so large, it's dangerous getting near the trap because the raccoon can reach out. Why not a thick mesh versus the wires? And then an easier way to open the door for release after he's inside and still hissing! Just learning about traps but I still think there's improvement needed on the design!

[@tinkergene]

I made a plywood floor / sides / and back so the animal has to go in the front - then put weight on the top to keep the trap inside the plywood -

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

A great trap. I have caught 8 racoons in the last 12 days this summer; opposums , a skunk, and more coons in prior years. Two to three miles is not far enough a distance to relocate them for good. The permitted drop off area needs to be further than 5 miles. I have been told. I had to let one go one friday morning because I had to get a friend to her doctor's location 45 miles away and didn't want the coon to have to stay in the cage till I got back several hours later. Especially after having to spent most of the prior night in the cage. After that coon was caught and let go off my porch, the coons started tripping the trap and then reaching through the squares in the wires to eat the cat food from the outside of the cage trap. I have been taking the coons (with permission) to a wildlife preserve 13 miles away and one I took to a state park, with permission.

[@gman100]

Yes, I've taken them 7 plus miles away, they're territorial and will track their way back without any trouble.

It’s funny how the one that’s not trapped is just chilling out.

They are a handful to handle even within the trap. They want to bite. Wear thick leather gloves while releasing them.

THANK YOU for explaining the locking mechanism. Now I get it. Unfortunately Havahart hired some pretty incompetent people to make their instructional videos who either didn't understand or couldn't be bothered to explain this completely. You did a much better job!

Thank you!

[@atlyvwire]

I absolutely love my trap. I have the same one. Neighborhood cats kept spraying my front door and my RV. I have been relocating neighborhood cats now!! have moved two of them so far in one week!! My bait, canned tuna on a small paper plate.

[@BobSell]

That is awesome!

[@Shashaylah]

I would like to know how to easily open that trap and let a live one go? I have this same trap but it does not seem an easy task to let one of these wild nasty critters go especially with the door that does not open so easily. Any special tricks? I have also heard that their sense of smell is crazy good and unless you drive them over 20 miles away at least, they will return?

[@richroberts3170]

I use a dog leash. Tie to base and retract block wire, pull on leash, door opens and your hands are clear.

[@ancientsgate]

Look at the teeth on that thing! whoa

[@richarddeyarmin3986]

Here in Pennsylvania once trapped the problem animal may NOT be released into the wild it must be dispatched. So before you run out and buy a live trap in PA at least check your state's laws and be aware you are the one responsible for the animal. If your not willing to take a life, at least here in PA , have it professionally done.

[@gman100]

Laws are for slaves, do what you want with it but don't follow what some lawyer has chosen for you to do.

Ditto with the racoons. I switched to garbage can bungee cords to keep the lid closed on the garbage can.

I have a colony of raccoons near my house and they sure seem like a bonded family. This trap only lets u get one at a time. Need one that traps many all at once. So that they're relocated together.

[@thefireman285]

set multiple traps like SHONUFF said, and make sure you are taking them a long way to release. Probably at least 5 miles.

[@windmillfarms2845]

these cage traps work like a charm and are super humane. what do you do when you catch a skunk though to not get sprayed?

[@danielnegen955]

Approach the live trap really slow with a tarp, or something else, that you are willing to sacrifice and drape it over the trap. I won't promise it won't spray but at least it won't get you if it does. Transport or dispose of it as you please. Handle the whole unit real carefully when moving it.

After eating a Banquet pot pie, I throw the microwavable pie tin into the live trap. Gets them every time. However, I prefer baiting DP traps.

[@annettebutler7899]

I have the exact same trap, works great. Got the possum living under my house the first night with it. named it uncle fester, cause it was trying to live in between the wall and my sauna tub. If I took off the panel, I could see it looking at me like some creepy voyeur. one day later I got it. Then I found out its illegal to possess or relocate (even across the street) possums, raccoons, etc, in my state. Once you've caught it, they instruct you to either kill it or pay to have it killed.

[@BobSell]

Yes I love this trap: goo.gl/B7tduW Thanks for the comment!

[@BootsEditor11]

I've been trapping coons mostly, some skunks, foxes and the odd feral cat and a turtle once. However, after catching a coon, they others wise up and refuse to go in. So, while you will get the odd coon, try the Duke dog proof traps for a more consistent catch if you keep having the issue. They catch skunks and possums as well.

That's great but what about the release?

[@amywaters7246]

Four things: one, they will tear up your grass once trapped, so if you can, put the trap on concrete. Two, a can of sardines works great. Leave a trail of sardines going into the trap. I have caught three raccoons in three nights this way. Three, set the trap at night but check it early the next morning. Finally, release them at least ten miles away.

[@davidsabo405]

thank ;you for the tips

[@davidstock5279]

Question - I set the trap in a cardboard box and this morning when I found the racoon, the box was torn, there was some blood on the box and the racoon wouldnt really move besides moving his head and tail sometimes. Where did I go wrong?

[@Sayah162]

We have a racoon luving in our attic. Dont know how it got it, but every couple of days it chews holes in the ceiling to try and make its way into the house. Everytime we patch a hole uo it just eats another one in the wall. Going to get this cage and find a way to place it in the roof. Theres no walk in attic installed. So we cant climb up there. I really hope this works because im tired of the little Bastard trying to break in my house to steal my food.

Bob, we have a cage like that and it just trapped a raccoon. Is it dangerous to release him? And do you know if animal control will come out to get him?

I've released them before without incident. However, no guarantees. They are wild animals. Don't corner them or otherwise threaten them and you should be ok. Use common sense. The ones I've released just run away...

Raccoons are very smart, I always zip tie my bait down, so they have to work at getting the food. Like you I have discovered that I have two more raccoons which I caught on my game camera last night. I have caught one, moved him to the country. They may be trap leery after the first one is trapped, wait a few days before resetting. You are right raccoons can be very, vicious. SO, be very careful when you release them, they can turn on you. I have been bitten twice. Let me add use meat, not peanut butter, most rats ( not all of them) are vegetarians, at least the woodrat A.K.A a packrat

Use a rope so you can pull the door open from behind the cage. The animal won't take their eyes off of you so you have to prod them to back out of the cage. This way you stay safe behind the cage. After they back out they'll realize they are free and run off. Good luck.

[@raybin6873]

I used this type trap - the raccoon literally tore it apart - I then built home made trap with old bar-be-que grills- works great but is heavy (esp with a raccoon inside)

A raccoon keeps coming at night killing my chickens!

[@angeldelafuente6139]

That’s why I’m watching this video 😂

[@TonyFreeman-LocoTonyF]

You must have a secure henhouse. There's no way around it.

[@gregfaris6959]

Bait? If you want to catch raccoons, but NOT the neighbor's cat - use marshmallows!

[@bobv8219]

That was very satisfying I'm waiting for tonight to get mine I just got the cat food think I'll tip over the trash can and put it right next to it. Thanks for sharing

[@itzjdub282]

Got mines used for 15 bucks. Works like a charm

All jokes aside theres this raccoon in our neighborhood and it doesnt seem to be afraid of people.. He will walk across the gate or street even if we are outside gathered around a fire pit

[@markcusvongphachanh]

Nice! I had one fall in my trash can outside I should of closed it and moved it somewhere far way from my house but I was stupid and kick the trash can over and he went right back under my deck

i bought a trap for wild cats and stray dogs to keep them away from my rabbits and its way too big. I can't figure out how to set it either. We don't have racoons here. I don't know what to do with it.

[@BobSell]

If you bought this trap, it’s not to big for cats and dogs. You do need to learn how to set the door for a light touch. Just experiment with it.

[@itsjustrenee1320]

Bob Sell Thank you. I figured it out. I am breeding rabbits and have to take a lot of them to the vet and this cage will hold quite a few rabbits for a vet trip to get neutered. I'm surprised at how heavy duty this trap actually is. We engraved our info on it and we are chaining it to the ground and covering it with camo to catch the local predators. We also get skunks. People on the other side of town get possums so I may end up lending to people to catch possums too.

[@BobSell]

Glad you got it figured out Renee. Good luck!👍

[@deernutOO]

Plan on a real mess of raccoon scat around that cage. And beware of the disease carried in that scat. And please don't release a problem raccoon to just go elsewhere to be a problem for someone else. Dispose of them as humanely as possible..

[@oldtimerocker52]

what you did not mention is that a smart racoon can escape 1 of those traps given enough time. there is 1 coming to my nieghbors house which has escaped a trap like that 4 times. i was hoping your video would give some suggstions for us. all your video shows is best case trapping a wise coon would never stay in your trap unless you went out there as soon as it caught him.

[@richroberts3170]

Just because trap is sprung does not mean it was inside. They rattle the trap and spring it then eat the food.

[@iguanawrangler4073]

I thought live catch traps were so the animals didn’t rot over night and you can get them fresh

[@QueenHaiku]

My family will often catch and release possums and/or raccoons if we find any near our house. if the trap works then usually, in the morning, the animal is calm, not really doing anything, but one morning we found out that we caught a baby raccoon and this little guy was still going. He growled and snarlef at us and tried digging his way out. It of course didn't work, and he ended up digging a small trench around the cage
