How do you release a raccoon from a trap?
You can release your raccoon from the trap with the back door. You can stand behind your trap before you lift the door up. Slowly back off and the raccoon will run away as fast as possible. It is almost the same as if you are releasing a cat.
Why is my live trap not working?
If your nuisance animal won’t go in the trap, you might want to reevaluate the food source you’re using to lure it in. Proper bait placement is also key. In addition to placing the bait under the trap’s trigger mechanism, create a bait trail that starts outside the trap and leads the animal inside.
