Are there specific bait types that work better for different animals?

Yes, different animals are attracted to different bait types due to their natural diets and habits. Rodents prefer high-fat, high-protein foods like peanut butter, cheese, nuts, and seeds, while raccoons prefer sweets like marshmallows or sweet corn, and oily foods with fishy smells like canned tuna and sardines. Squirrels prefer nuts and seeds, especially aromatic ones, while opossums prefer sweet fruits and protein-rich foods. Research the food your target animal prefers, use fresh bait for a strong scent, and place your bait deep inside the trap so the animal fully enters for the best results.

How do live animal traps work?

Live animal traps are designed to capture animals without harming them, providing for safe relocation and release. The basic mechanism includes a cage or metal box, a door system triggered by a pressure-sensitive plate or pan, and bait placed inside the trap to lure the animal in. The animal enters the enclosure, steps on the plate, and triggers the door to close, locking it inside unharmed. We carry humane and live animal traps to make pest control safe and humane.
