trapping help?

I like how you are dealing with the problem. Give them a chance to find a new home but if they come back to yours... sorry.

Placing the live trap under some plywood or cardboard works well, even better if your trap has doors on each end so they can see through it. A can of tuna for bait and success in inevitable.
There was a comment in this thread about a car exhaust pipe to do in the visitor. Newer vehicles don't put out the same ingredients that make an animal sleepy as older vehicles. My dad and I did this to a few strays on the farm. A couple minutes of idling with his truck and the critter was done. After a much longer time idling with mine, we opened the trap and kitty bolted out of there without even stumbling.

i prefer a more humane way of doing it, i just ended up taking him out to the middle of no where and put a 22 in to him, instant death, no pain, no suffering, put a second one in for good measure. the problem is people arent putting tags on their damn pets, if you have a pet that can and will escape even if its a house pet put a collar and tag on it, its not a hard concept. but the one i got rid of was a ratty bastard anyways so he'd been homeless for a while.

heres a shot of the one im waiting for, the one who i relocated and who came back and attacked my dog. saw him walking down the street a while back, figured if it wasnt day time i may have just tried to hit him with my truck. lol
