Info and Trapping Guidelines for Raccoon
Raccoon, a masked, stealthy and cunning creature of the night. There are 30 some species and subspecies of raccoon. A raccoon’s coat is varying in color and thickness and he lives, well camouflaged, in a wide range of environments and climates. Raccoons do not hibernate during the winter although they will sleep for several days in a row.
The raccoon thrives best in the regions where it can freeload on human garbage and crops, including gardens, garden ponds and the garbage can area of dwellings. They will eat about everything they can find but have a special ‘sweet tooth.’ This helps with the baiting for a’ raccoon catch only’ as other animals tastes are not for the sugary foods as a raccoon are.
Raccoons are nocturnal animals and prefer hunting for food at night. You will often see them up in trees sleeping during daytime hours. Be sure to put outside pet food inside at night as they love the free feast. Mom will often bring her little ones to porches for the free food left outdoors. Raccoons can carry rabies, as most wild animals. If cornered, a raccoon will hiss to warn you away, especially if they are protecting their young. Raccoons rarely charge people, they are more scared of you than you are of them. But take caution, move slow, don’t threaten them. A rabid raccoon is more likely to be seen during the day, will display signs of sickness and could charge. Please don’t approach, call your local authorities and have them come to you.
Raccoons ‘dab’ their food in water if available, they don’t wash their food. This helps enhance their sense of touch and helps them find food under water by feeling. You don’t need to put water in the trap. They will snack on the bait without needing any water.
Choosing the right raccoon trap
We have found that both gravity and spring load traps work well for catching raccoon. With the gravity animal traps, there’s no need to reach down and unlock the trap to remove the raccoon, you merely roll the trap onto its top and the raccoon runs out. Or lift the rear door of the gravity trap (Tru-Catch gravity traps) and you don’t have to roll. Remember to wear a good quality leather or Kevlar lined gloves when handling the trap and releasing the animal. Raccoons have very sharp teeth and claws.
If you chose a spring load animal trap, other precautions need to be taken. They are more difficult to use as the door must be manually manipulated to be reopened. You should place a piece of canvas over the one half of the trap so the raccoon does not notice you approach the trap. Make sure you cover the opposite, leave the end that you need to uncovered. The raccoon will try to hide and will stay under the covered part of the trap. You need to be able to open the door quickly so you can let the raccoon out as quickly as possible. After you open the door (use gloves), quietly get up and walk away, some climb back into the vehicle. The raccoon will leave right away, they are not known for hanging around a trap long. They usually don’t charge as they are happy to be free and are going to scoot as fast as possible to a hiding place.
Baiting the trap for a raccoon
Many people use the same bait as what the raccoon is eating at the scene. Corn cobs, cat food, etc. But the baits that really work and target in on catching just raccoon are sweet foods. Place a small, heavy bowl behind the trip plate and put an assortment of sugary goodies for them. Marshmallows, strawberry licorice, breakfast bars with jam, sweetened cereal, these are just a few of the choices for raccoon bait. Placing several things encourages them to touch everything and increases your chance of a catch.
If you are relocating your uninvited guest, make sure you take them to a place that has a food and water source. Near or over a river or reservoir would be the best choice or you might have them back free loading.
This information is only a guideline and is not all inclusive on raccoon or trapping raccoon. We encourage you to research more about raccoons and wish you a happy trapping experience.

Guidelines for trapping Armadillo
The armadillo is the only mammal that has bone plates in its skin. Their color ranges from khaki to a pebbly grey. They grow to the size of an average housecat, can weigh 8 to 17 pounds and to 30 inches in length counting their long tails. The average life span is 12 to 15 years. They are known for their destructive feeding and burrowing habits. They are known for tearing up yards and gardens foraging for food, insects, grubs, worms, etc. They produce a musky odor that some people find repulsive. They are often hit by cars at night as they feed on road kill. Armadillos are a nocturnal creature, eating and doing their damage by night. Taking care of an armadillo problem can be quite tedious. We are lucky we live in a colder climate where we don’t have to deal with these destructive little creatures.
Choosing the right trap.
From what we have gathered over the years from professionals and homeowners is that trapping armadillo is a hit and miss situation unless the traps are positioned correctly. You don’t have to use bait and probably shouldn’t use bait so you don’t have an unwanted catch, such as a raccoon. If you do use bait, a piece of fruit is better than having mealworms or earthworms. With armadillos and traps, it’s location, location, location.
An enclosed strong trap such as the Tru-Catch R-24 Resister works very well for trapping Armadillo. The 36D Classic Deluxe, a wire trap is also great. Both are very strong, built to withstand the strength of an Armadillo. Both of these traps are gravity. A strongly built spring load trap will also work. You will need to place the trap near an active burrow. You can literally ‘lead’ an armadillo to a trap. Because they have poor eyesight, you can use short garden fencing, boards, bricks, etc., to build a road leading up to the trap. To do this, you need to know the route that they take, which burrow is active. And using more than one trap is more effective than using one at a time.
Please do your research and educate yourself as there is lots of information available on the internet. We wish you a happy trapping experience.
