Use the Havahart traps. It can add interest to your life while contributing
to your neighborhood.
I have two traps. One squirrel size ($25) and another raccoon size ($50).
You will catch an assortment of varmints that the local Animal Control
Department of your county will be happily to relocate for you. I've caught
over 150 raccoons, 100 possums and dozens of squirrels, cats and field rats.
Best cat I ever had, I caught in a Havahart Trap.
I caught two large dogs once with the trap. They were so intent on getting
at the raccoon in the trap that they never saw the dog catchers until it was
too late.
