Not the dog proof coon traps.

I have painted then bright colors to attract the coons and help see the traps.
The ones I have out now are just bare metal with rust spots.

I caught them by feeders all last year with dry seafood flavor cat food, and a jumbo marshmellow on top. I stick it in the top sideways, so it sticks out the top so they can see it.

Have caught 2 more since the sweets have been used!

Should have 2 coons left out of the 4.

Nothing works better for coon traps than honeybuns.

Son of my friend in Florida is a professional critter control guy, who owns his own company. He tells me honeybuns are the only bait he ever uses.

In my earlier years, the honey buns would have never made it in the traps, just in my belly!! laugh
