My Raccoon Doesn't Seem To Like Antifreeze
In this State, you're not allowed to trap and transport racs. Anyway,
one time in the past using a Haveaheart, the damn dumb cat got trapped. Another time, the rac was able to somehow escape! Two other times I was successful in trapping them and shot them with a .22, but it was a bitch removing the corpses from the traps. So I marinated a 12 oz. can of cat food in a bowl of antifreeze. Set it out near where the rac has been doing his damage. Next morning, the ground at the site was wet with antifreeze, suggesting that he dumped it, and quite a bit of the cat food remained in the bowl which was tossed about 20 yds. away. Do you know whether ACDelco Dex-Cool antifreeze contains denatonium which is an embittering agent? The ingredients list doesn't mention it though, so maybe this is simply a rac who doesn't have a sweet tooth for antifreeze. I can only hope that the meat portion that he did eat contained enough antifreeze to prevent his destructive return. |

Drowning may be better than .22 and from what you say, you may need a bigger Hav-a-hart as I've seen it happen that trap would not completely close on raccoon and he could get out. You're also taking risks with poison which is generally not allowed and you could kill an animal like someones pet. Ethylene glycol is really not that toxic and it takes quite a bit to kill an animal. A sip or two will not do it. |

I really doubt Dexcool will do the job. It's a different
chemical. Buy the cheap green stuff. You might have used too much, also. Just dampen the catfood with the green antifreeze. D-Con, the mouse stuff, might also work.

I watched the raccoon I was after enter the trap, trip it, and both doors closed but did not latch as he was too big. He must have tripped the trap a half dozen times before I gave up. If you must poison, I would suggest rat poison mixed with peanut butter. You can't get in trouble trying to kill rats with poison. |

How about parking yourself outdoors in a nice chair at night with the .22 and capping the animal without trapping it first?

Seriously, just touch a drop to your tongue and then spit it out, it won't hurt you in that quantity. Mouse bait would be more effective and less likely to poison someone's pet, or use compound 1080 or 1081 and be careful. Trapping and drowning would be more humane (and should be a dignified way to go for a raccoon since they know how to drown dogs), and a lot safer. HTH Bob |

If it does contain the bittering agent or you suspect that it does, add something to sweeten it, I have a coon that I have been hunting for a week, won't go in a havahart trap, reaches in through the wire, digs under it, flipped it over, I have staked it down with cement bricks on all sides, covered it ECT, and still it gets the bait and doesn't spring the trap, I have a garden and soon chickens that will be 20' from where it prowls, it got into the trap 3 times yesterday 1 time while I was running a trip line to catch it, sneaky ******. I didn't want to but seen no other choice, so I mixed antifreeze with the bittering agent, brown sugar, powdered sugar, honey, until it was like a paste then some milk, 3 slices of bread, 1 can cat food and half a jar of peanut butter, note I used a lot of antifreeze, about four cups worth, they say it only tskes a couple table spoons, but hey I wanted to make sure, I put a bowl inside the cage trap with the blended mixture, a closed it so no cat or other animals could get it only what has been getting all the stuff in my would be compost pile and reaching in the trap, so this morning bowl was completely empty, so I'd say it was a success. Hopefully this battle will be over.

Raccoons are very intelligent and have great memories, which may make them wary of traps.
I normally try getting them acquainted with your trap by tying it open and leaving bait inside for a few days before setting it for a catch. I havent tried antifreeze.... |
