I’ve found that using live traps can be an effective way to relocate nuisance wildlife while still being humane. In my experience, using one-way traps, designed to let animals exit but not return, has worked well in residential areas. It’s essential to educate clients about the importance of checking traps frequently to minimize stress on the animals.
, the one-way traps are great, but I’ve learned the hard way that not all animals will find their way out… One time, I had a raccoon stuck for hours because it didn’t realize there was an exit! It’s so crucial to check them regularly, especially during warmer months when stress can build quickly.
I completely agree about the importance of checking traps frequently; I’ve had situations where a squirrel ended up stressed after being in a standard trap for too long. A pro tip is to place bait at the exit of one-way traps, which can help guide them out more easily. It also reduces the chances of them lingering too long inside.
