I got three each night for three nights in a row

Twinkies …seriously works every time

3 with tuna this week

I also use dog proof traps that way I'm not getting unintended animals the smoked baby oysters slid inside the traps then with the oil on my hand I rub it on grass about a foot off the ground I've been on a run of new sets and have caught as many as 15 coon in a night

I have tried jumbo marshmallows , out of date honey buns or anything sweet

I tried sardines, cat food cans, dog food and bacon grease, honey buns, candy bars, cotton balls and vanilla (works for rats), peanut butter... literally everything.

Raccoon got 10 of my birds 🤦🏿‍♂️

My neighbor told me the exact same thing an major brand honey 🍯 bunn with ah bit if skittles

thanks for the info. and thansk for watching

Hope you enjoy

Update: 3 raccoons in 3 days using this bait with dog food and 4 cuffs. I used grape flavored since it was at the store. Everybody loves kool aid.

Awesome! Thank you!

Dry cat food is ALL you need. I've trapped countless raccoons with it. My record is a mom and her two kids all in one trap.

if you watch this video, it is a bait for when the normal stuff won't work, i have caught lots with all sorts of bait...but if i get a difficult or trap shy bunch, this is my go to :)

that's great !!

@@NBWildman I DID watch the video. I used to live by a creek in a small town and trapped and released over 10 raccoons there. Since then I moved to an island and see 6+ raccoons on my night security camera. Raccoons were introduced to Europe by hunters who sought to kill them for sport. But they weren't successful enough because now Europe is full of raccoons. They totally destroyed an old vacant trailer home on my property. How? I was keeping cats and cat food in the trailer accessible only through a very small cat door. I managed to fool them for 3 years but they caught on and it was all over. My one surviving geriatric cat now lives exclusively inside my home. Watch the hour long documentary made in Canada. Very informative. It is based on world wide research and destroys some myths about raccoons. They are destroying Japan after a children's cartoon there endeared them and caused someone to illegally import one. Raccoons will easily kill and eat a cat. There is a report of this happening in Tacoma, WA. I've learned my lesson: either get a dog or keep your cats & cat food indoors.

You bet!

Thanks ✌️

great, glad it worked for you

I'm sure she will love it...put it on toast

Awesome! Thank you!

My pleasure!

If you think I’m gonna waste good oysters on a very destructive rodent you are drunk!!!!

Thanks, will do!

cool aid is a multipurpose tool in my world

You're welcome!

Thanks, you too!

Great idea !! only issue is it's not overly waterproof, but i still think your right

What r bucket traps?

@@dwaynezimmerman8590 hello , we call it a bucket set or trap when you stick a 220 in the opening of a bucket with bait in it . kind of like a martin box but bigger . they work great for raccoon and otter .

@@judithdandavis2206 Thanks for the comeback. I have no idea what a 220 is. I have 1 live trap. We have 1-2 racoons going across out deck now & then but it seems to ignore my bait of marshmallow, apples & hard boiled eggs. But I like your recipe and am anxious to try it. What do u suggest for rabbits that attack our garden and eat through our water lines and produce.

@@dwaynezimmerman8590kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLlljJWS1bTLhJc.html . we found a paste bait for rabbits at tractor supply we used with carrots and apples that worked here .

Thank you for doing this

totally agree...also i find that animals become used to certain baits and it never hurts to switch it up a bit

yes indeed !

Would this work to catch rabbits to save our garden?

the bait can just go in behind the flat pan, doesn't have to be on it, the coon will move the pan to get a better access to the bait and then he's toast

yes, cat food works most of the time i agree, however this bait is specific for if you have trap shy raccoons

Not this. But the dog proof can for sure.

correct, i wouldn't use this in a DP

Good to know!

and you catch squirrels too. Once you catch a squirrel that trap is closed for racoons.

Stale Mini marshmallows and dust with cherry koolaid or jello. I trap with DPs at deer feeders. Never fails. I manage for wildlife on my place surrounded by mixed hardwood and pine plantations. Coons are idiots. Strap a 5 gallon bucket of corn with a good lid and a half inch hole in the bottom to a tree. They'll visit it every night until the corn is gone. Keep your dog proofs separated enough so a coon can't get trapped in 2 of them because they will if they can. They really are idiots. Set 3 traps, get 3 coons. They can't resist free groceries.

I just give them what they come for cat food

good tip

Didn't find the packet like that around here in Arkansas Ozarks, but if you look online there is a canister of koolaid available that is probably the same amount. NB Wildman lives in Canada, and what is available in the dollar stores there and at the time of the video may be different from now. As I don't need that much I just used a small packet and cut the recipe down.

I'll have to try that out

thanks, and thanks for watching

@@NBWildman dude what does the backing soda do? You skipped that step!

Stay with sweet baits if you have cats

I was successful in one night with this mixture in my pvc sets. Out of four sets one was hit from a sand bar and the next set he was in. First coon ever!

That's a good one. A highly pungent smell to draw their attention. Thanks for the recommendation.

You trap so many raccoons that the cost of bait is affecting your life? Im genuinely curious why?

@@Burritosarebetterthantacos ~ You seem to be a bit confused. Or it could be that I worded it wrong. See if you can understand this: The reason I switched from Cocoa Puffs to Honey O's is because the Honey O's work every bit as good as the Cocoa Puffs but cost only half as much. I don't let such issues affect my life. But you sound like you're easily upset about things that don't really matter very much. Am I right?

you will get skunks with this too, if they are in the area

No problem 😊

How much do you add?

Depends, i keep mine sealed in old peanut butter jars, keeps for a long time

haven't got any skunks on it yet, but i can't see why it wouldn't work

trap them all !!

replaces the natural sodium carbonate or soda ash found in the wild

I made a trail of marshmallows going into the trap. Not too many on the trail. You don’t want to fill him up before he gets to the trap. 😂

Did u ever have any luck? Currently dealing with one after my chickens 😡

Same we are so saddened because we had ours for almost 3 years. @@moniquej4778

We have tried catfood, both dry and wet, for a month with no luck. It's not quite attractive enough.

Corn will work just as well

those pouches he used have 3 oz more than the can

not that I know of, fox bait should be more meat based

I use with sugar. But should work either way

@@NBWildman Thank you for fast awnser Tom

just put it in the back of the pail

In a baggie just need them to smell it and get to it

Check out last weeks video called raccoon trapping pro tip. They won’t steal your bait if you do this

Wrap your cage in tighter woven mesh
