Peanut butter in a piece of panty hose and wired to the inside roof of the cage above the pan works great as a bait. It’s tough material, lets the peanut butter weep through, and gets the animal working the bait and usually gets them dancing around the trap pan. And it doesn’t attract cats. Peanut butter in the trap I've got out right now after a squirrel. Game cam shows the neighbor's cat comes by to check it out but doesn't try to lick it. Small cat could get it's head in there. Wife says generally if their whiskers won't fit thru they don't like sticking their head in. Don't know if it's true, or if these cats just wonder what the smell is.

Actually, those little debbie snacks look pretty good, tempting. Hold out for Mrs. Freshley's ... Used to buy a good many Mrs Freshly products, but they've been scarce around here for a while Not sure why I would have never dreamed that you couldn't buy toilet paper on a whim anywhere in America

I had a masked bandit that was coming by about 3 every morning on the back door area, setting off the Ring doorbell...I set out my live trap with marshmallows, box would be empty, marshmallows gone. Cagy fugger was reaching through the side, pulling to the wire and eating it without ever going inside the dang thing, caught that action on a game cam. Put hardware cloth on the sides, next morning he took a dirt nap. Figure some Karen had caught him young and relocated him, they get wise quick.

I usually take the coon carcass down the road and toss it into the road. Who's gonna check on a road-killed coon carcass? They never see the bullet hole in the skull, cuz it was hit by a car................
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Coons getting in my Peaches n Cream.
Been running some dog-proofs.
Dry cat food. Marshmallows. Peach flavored gummy-rings. We learned our lesson on dog proofs and cat food. They ain't cat proofs! All the better.

Use marshmallows in a dog proof trap. You won't catch the neighbor's cat but coons cannot resist a marshmallow. Might catch a possum every now and then.

Buddy of mine had a coon problem. He live trapped them and relocated them in the ritzy neighborhood about 5 miles away.
He had a ball doing it.
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

He had a ball doing it. When I rented the trout farm on the rez, the owner would ask me to live trap them so he could relocate them to the bottoms by the reservoir, about six miles away. I swear they’d get back home before he did. I started giving themto a customer who trained hounds, instead. Those never made it back.

My experience from before is once they hit sweet corn, they want nothing but sweet carbs. I deployed both at the same time. Only caught the mother in law’s cat 🤪🤪😹 Proteins in fall and winter. I’m not a trapper but I am a pest control professional. Glazed donuts, sweet rolls, grape jelly, the stickier ooie gooey the better. ☠️☠️☠️😃 H  ll, you might catch me out "sleep-walking".

A live trap and a tank of water. Nice and quiet. Works on coons and feral cats. Any local Karen doesnt know the difference.
