My family and I recently moved to a new house, and we have been having some issues with raccoons getting into our garbage cans. We would like to catch the raccoon without causing any harm to it, so we can release it somewhere else. How can I trap a raccoon without causing damage to it?

You can try using a humane animal trap, which is a specialized enclosure that allows animals to be safely captured and released elsewhere. You can also attempt to scare the raccoon away with loud noises or flashlights, but this may not always be successful. Depending on how much of an issue the raccoons are causing and the size of your garbage cans, you could also try attaching barriers or repellents such as peppermint oil to them to prevent further access.

You could try setting up a humane trap in your garbage area to catch the raccoons. This trap should be large enough for the animal to enter, but with a door that closes quickly once it triggers the trip wire. Inside, the trap should have an enclosed space with an escape hole leading outside so that you can release it somewhere else later on. Make sure you periodically check and reset the traps, and keep any children and pets away from them.
