Traps can be bought and set right next to an experienced trappers setup and not catch a thing, meanwhile the trapper is catching animals and solving the problem. How can this be? It's called good equipment, good baits, and a working knowledge of the trap
First of all, lets get this straight, there is a reason that this type of work is done by trained professionals. We carry insurance. We are licensed by the state for this specific purpose. There are serious health hazards both from a zoonotic aspect as well as from a physical. You can get sick from an animal with rabies, and you can possibly fall through your ceiling crawling around in a hot attic. I cannot tell you specifically how handle a nuisance wildlife problem, common sense must guide you. Our training comes from hands on and networking with experienced operators around the country.
Secondly, consider WHY you are trapping animals. Do you really have a valid nuisance complaint? Wildlife is all around you enjoy it. A raccoon raiding open dumpsters at night is more common than you thought and can be curbed by simply closing them.
Third, if you have an unwanted guest in your home and you do trap it, what are you going to do with it? Is it HUMANE to relocate that animal? You can find the State of LA laws regarding do it yourself wildlife control here---->TITLE76, HOWEVER - Relocating a nuisance animal is often more inhumane than putting it to sleep, consider your actions wisely.
.
Finally, trapping is slowly becoming an extinct practice. Do you know any kids who know how to trap anything besides themselves? Schools totally neglect teaching anything of the sort, even though it was part of our heritage as a country, but hey that's another thing altogether. Lets get back to the point. Trapping has evolved into the modern day, even though the practice has dwindled. Modern traps are much more specific to the tasks involved and to take care of your problem you may need specialty traps and equipment.
