How do you catch a raccoon ?

Raccoons are small animals that look like dogs and are always hungry. Usually they live in the forest, but they can also settle in the garden, in the house, in the garage. Raccoons are dangerous because they spoil the harvest and destroy the clutches of birds.

They are carriers of a huge number of diseases, ranging from a variety of parasites dangerous to humans and ending with rabies. It is dangerous not only to bite the animal, but even a simple touch to his coat.

Raccoons are incredibly curious and like all animals that are related to dogs, they are hungry. They can easily be trapped with an edible bait, then tamed or killed. It is worth bearing in mind that animals are carriers of diseases and infected with parasites.

The cage for the raccoon should be on a metal welded frame with a strong coarse mesh net. The floor is made of a solid natural board, so that it is difficult to gnaw it. The most commonly used type of trap is a cell with a falling door. However, raccoon traps often crush paws, animal heads, so it is worth checking them at least once a day, otherwise the animals may bleed and will suffer for a long time. Electronic traps are used very rarely, since they are forbidden in most states.
