Hey Guys and Gals... It seems that everyone has skunk problems and most are in situation that even a live trap would give rise to the skunks spraying, dogs, cats or humans. I saw this trap advertised at Rural King and wondered if anyone had any experience with them... ??? And the second question is what do you find is your best bait that doesn't attract cats??? GARRY-
“Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.”
Have been trapping 77 years…

Hopefully LawDog will chime in; he's the skunk guru. I have a couple of the traps you've pictured, and I've probably caught 50-75 skunks in them. They're relatively expensive, but work very well for me. Not real easy to see inside of them and see what critter you've got. I've never had any problems with spraying while in these traps. Seems that marshmallows attract skunks but not cats.

What Jack said marshmallows are the in town favorite carp steaks out in the country or if those cats need a quick hug!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
