HAS anyone tried MARSHMALLOWS to trap RACCOONS?

If you have tried marshmallows in your trap for raccoons?What were your results?

Nope never tryed marshmallows, but we have a friend that swears by those sugar wafer cookies,...they come in choc, vanilla, and strawberry. He says they LOVE the strawberry ones.

I have heard of it before, but have never tried it myself, I have been using peanut butter and it works (insert evil laughter).

I've tried it and caught a few, but they don't work as good as cheap canned dog foor.

 

[Camelot Farms]

Yep, but it worked better catching skunks....ack!

Try Honey Buns from Little Debbie. They love 'em

marshmallows work here but I put a little molasses with them, marshmallows work because they are easy to see molasses has a lot of smell even when cold. I have never caught a domestic animal using this combo.

The one time we needed to trap a coon we used marshmallows and it worked. We didn't use canned cat food, because we didn't want to catch cats.

I tried them once and ended up catching my chicken (course they come to any bait) didn't catch any raccoons though.

I do catch plenty of raccoons using WalMart brand cheap dry catfood. I haven't caught any cats in a good long while, after once or maybe twice they seem to learn not to go in the trap.

The coons always seem to be able to get into the garbage cans. Set out some trash.

I'm still a huge fan, and extremely curious as to if it works, about the coon trap in Where The Red Fern Grows...

As to mallows, I know the ones at the state park gobbled ours...
