Raccoon Trap Safe To Use Anywhere MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 34-5-27 The Duke DP Coon Trap eliminates a big problem when setting a trap. You want to catch a raccoon, not the neighbor's dog.
The dog-proof style has been around for years, but the Duke Company, which has been making traps since 1986, has improved and modified it to sell at the low price of $12.95 each or $149.95 a dozen.
"It's specific for raccoons," says Bill Duke, who is part of the family-owned company, which started selling the trap in July and has already had a tremendous response.
Instead of a pan found on a traditional leghold trap, the trap has a 1 1/2-in. steel pipe with a trigger inside to spring the trap. It's based on habit. A raccoon will reach in for bait or lure placed in the pipe and pull back.
Since dogs won't reach into the trap with their paw, the trap's especially useful in populated settings with raccoon problems. Slip a marshmallow or cotton ball with coon lure on it into the pipe to set the Duke DP Coon Trap. Then jab the spear end into the ground at a slight angle so it's at eye level for a raccoon.
