Raccoon trapping in Los Angeles takes the proper equipment, knowledge to use it, bait, and logistics. It also takes a knowledge of our target species, raccoon’s. I will go over all of these points in this article one by one so you the reader can fully understand what a day in the field raccoon trapping is like in Torrance and Hawthorne.
When I say the word raccoon trap, the picture in people’s minds can vary according to their familiarization with the topic. If I’m talking to a guy in the Midwest he may picture of foot hold trap, body grip trap, or snare. However, if I’m speaking with someone in Torrance and Hawthorne, California, he may picture what is considered a more humane type trap for the raccoon. This would be a cage about 36 inches long, 12 inches high, and 12 inches wide. It is designed to hold the raccoon inside the trap without harming it. Bait is placed inside the raccoon trap to lure the raccoon in.
One must know where to place of raccoon trap in order to catch one safely. By this I mean the safety of the raccoon, the occupant, and neighbors. Just because a raccoon is on your roof, does not mean the best place to put the trap is on the roof. Let’s play that scenario and see what happens. Most roofs are slanted, and a frantic raccoon trying to escape the trap is going to destroy all the shingles he can reach, and eventually pull himself in the trap of the roof. Who and what he falls on his going to suffer some sort of damage, and probably kill the raccoon. So let’s not set raccoon traps on roofs. When I trap raccoons, I set the trap on the ground near the area where they will most likely gain access to the roof, such as a tree on your property in Torrance and Hawthorne. Beware! Once that raccoon has made it onto you roof, now it will be easy for him to break into your attic! Raccoons are destructive and will tear apart your attic and poop and pee all over your insulation!
