In this how-to you will learn how to live catch a pesky raccoon.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • bait (peanut butter,tuna fish, and sardines work best) Live trap
  1. Step 1

    First you will need to find where the raccoon is, outdoor, in your attic perhaps, wherever it or they are is key to catching them.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase a live trap from a store, if you cannot find a store that says them you can purchase one online for probably around 50, just look for one that says it is made for catching raccoons, spending around 50 may seem like much but raccoons can do alot of damage and it is cheaper than having someone else remove them.

  3. Step 3

    Get your bait whichever you chose to use, raccoons are not picky eaters and will eat almost anything you decide to use, left over dinner scraps work fine, the trap is very easy to set and the bait is placed in the back, put the trap where the raccoons are seen the most and check daily...Good Luck...Removal is simple, take the raccoon in the trap to a wooded area and open door...Be Careful raccoons can turn on you and are very aggressive...use caution
