They like cat food so much, they would come INSIDE our house at night to get at it when I was a teenager. We put it inside a deal with a screw on lid and they screwed the lid off! Still got at it! My mom was too much a hippy to let me kill them, God bless her heart!

A friend of ours gave us his great pyrannese when he moved where he could not keep her. Coons dissappeared.

this. I put some corn out front of the trap to get them close and then a marshmallow inside, has
done well for me.

It worked like a charm

Just pick up the cheapest brand of fish flavored cat food you can find, and they will flock to it ! Using dry food like that makes it a lot easier on you and the food will last longer outdoors if the coons take a day or two off.

This....Part of what I do for a living is trap. Cheap fishy flavored dry cat food in a dog proof trap and if using live traps use a small can of the wet cat food and stick the can in the back of the trap.
