How to use a live trap

Using a live trap is a great way to get rid of pests on the homestead or in the garden. I will show you how to use a live trap to catch raccoons and groundhogs.

A live trap, cage trap, or even box trap (they are all basically the same principle) will also provide your family with copious amounts of meat in a survival situation. You can easily feed yourself with a live trap set properly...

Havahart is a popular brand...I would recommend against the folding traps or the cheap ones since a large raccoon can bend the wire and escape, all while destroying your investment.

Homesteading has enough challenges without having to constantly deal with raccoons and groundhogs destroying your work.
