i have always used marshmallows for coons. That eliminates the neighbors cats anyways but if thats not a problem tuna fish or fishy catfood works well. the catfood is really stinky. If u keep it in the can it doesnt soak into the ground and stays stinky for a while that always works for me. If you just poke a couple holes in the top of the can the raccoon will try to get it out inside the trap. and if there moving around geting the fish out inside u have a good chance of them getting caught.

about the traps, i dont know much about that. I have never seen coons around her that are big enough to destroy a well built box trap, so i have never had that problem.

Tuna works great, just caught one last night :) but if you have house cats try marshmellows, ive heard covering them in molasses makes it more deadly..
