Time to trap raccoons again!

Liquid_wrench · Feb 14, 2014

Every year the raccoons come back..and hide out in my barn...and every year I have to set the live traps out...it sure gets old..but what else can a guy do? It's better than letting them have their 4-6 babies in the barn..and tear the heck out of it..anybody else out in the country have this problem year after year?

Regards, Keith

Golden Malerin (fly bait) and coke or similar soda pop.

I need something to stop them in their tracks...so they don't go back in the barn.....you know what I mean....Tired of these pest.

I second the fly bait and pop. I got a bunch of them a few years back. I haven't seen much sign of them since.

DoubleR · Feb 14, 2014

They don't usually make 5 to 6 ft after drinking it. Thats about as good as you can get stopping them in their tracks.

Oh ok where do I get that stuff....TSC?

DoubleR · Feb 14, 2014

TSC is where I buy it. Golden Maldrin, it comes in a can. Small and large size.

Ron Anderson · Feb 14, 2014

TSC should have it. Dogs and cats won't touch it so you don't have to worry about them. They won't make 6 feet before they are dead so its fast acting.

Is it powder or liquid?..what is the mix please.....Thank you very much!

DoubleR · Feb 14, 2014

Its granular, small pellets. I have an old steel pie plate I put in in. Maybe about 3 tablespoons and about 5-6 ounces of regular coke. Mix it up a little. My barn cats wouldn't touch the stuff either, don't know about dogs though.

Ok..thank you..if this stuff works..I will be a very happy camper....Tired of dealing with the cage(and catching skunks)and all that goes with it. Thank you

Let us know how you make out.
I was sirprised at the results. Got the idea on this same board a few years back.

Liquid_wrench · Feb 14, 2014

I will...Just bought some on ebay..for 13.00 (1 lb) total. Than you very much!

My brother supplements his income with fur trapping. I don't have any coon troubles on my farm. No minks or weasels either.

He's always on the lookout for more trapping territory.
