  • Know the area where the animal is living
  • Weather can play a factor in trapping
  • Know the food source of the animal
  • Look for alternative food sources


We don't assume what we are trying to trap. We investigate every situation, looking for clawing , chewing, and size of opening.  Its real important to know where the animal is entering, exiting and living.  For instance if we have raccoon's in the attic we don't want to set the traps on the ground because we can catch every raccoon in the neighborhood.  Find the opening and place the trap on the roof.  If our trap gets wet, we make sure we constantly re-bait with fresh food or lure.  

All species can be attracted to the same baits so we make sure we pick the most appropriate food or lure to bait the animal into the trap. If there are alternative food sources around where the target animal is living, we make sure we use the best baits to steer them from their other food.  Gland lures and fresh sweet baits always work the best.  Patience is key with trapping. We hope to get our target animal within 24 hours but that isn't always the case.  Depending on the eating pattern of the critter they may not always be hungry every night therefore they won' t go right into the trap.
