Live trap for raccoons?

[un2xs]

My neighborhood has a raccoon problem. The city only handles "domestic" animals... basically cats and dogs.

So far we have relocated two rabbits, five opposums, and about a dozen raccoons. The raccoons have torn up two of the Tractor Supply brand live traps. (Countryside or CountyLine brand?)

Locally we have Home Depot, Menards, Bomgaars, Tractor Supply, ACE, Walmart, and Academy Sports. I keep forgetting about Dicks Sporting Goods but will do my best to never shop there again.

Do any of you have recommendations on a sturdy live trap for raccoons? Are there any brands I should avoid?
I think I am going to have to order them and prefer to deal with a live person in front of me for any returns.

Thankyou for any input.

That is over at a place called Duke traps I like the idea but it is not local for you or really anyone in West Point, MS 39773. I like the idea that it only grabs the coons hand.

Racoon will destroy live traps, they are tough animals ...
Haven't found anything that's safe and won't get destroyed ... Get a good trap, repair is as much as you can (weld expanded "mesh" works the best) and replace as needed 👍

You just need more hot dogs my dude...

I use one like this, but bigger. Catch rate is around 50% neighborhood cats, 50% raccoons.

Just your standard have-a-heart trap works. Get the big one. Couple pieces of bread with peanut butter in the back works just fine.

My parents caught one and I had to go get it and release it quite a ways away. My mother thought it would make its way back otherwise.

Now you can also catch a skunk in it, so just fyi... But you will catch racoons also.

As long as skunky friend can’t raise his tail you should be fine! Now what happens once you let the little stinker out of the cage… well that might be a problem.
