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.

Corn, it is what they are coming to the feeder for. this. I put some corn out front of the trap to get them close and then a marshmallow inside, has done well for me.

sardines or can cat / dog food
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

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.

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.
