Raccoon Traps by HavaHart®
Which trap should I use?
 |
The HAVAHART® brand manufactures two styles of traps: one door and two door. Both styles work equally well and it is truly a matter of preference. The two door style was created with the idea that an animal will not enter a trap if they can not see through to the other side. This is not true as we trap just as many animals in our one door Pro models.

What bait should I use for raccoons?
Fish, fresh or canned, honey or sugar covered vegetables, smoked fish, watermelon, sweet corn, cooked fatty meat, crisp bacon. Special favorite of the raccoon is marshmallows!
Where should I place the trap?
Locate the trap in an area where raccoons are often observed. Place the trap on a level surface.
Since raccoons tend to dig all the dirt up under the trap, place the trap on a flat piece of wood. Dispose of the wood after the raccoon is caught.
Position one side of the trap against a wall of a building or in a path commonly traveled by cats.
Before handling the trap, you may want to spray with an insecticide because they often have fleas and ticks. Wear sturdy gloves to cover your hands, since raccoons and skunks carry many diseases. If there are known cases of rabies in your area, we suggest that you contact a professional animal removal service.
