I am not an ADC trapper, just a fur trapper who has a skunk problem. A property owner who lets me trap has a skunk in her barn and wants it gone. The problem is they have half wild barn cats in the barn also. Since the cats cannot really be gotten or kept out of the barn I am looking for a bait to put in the cage trap that is less desirable to the cats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian

Thanks RF, do you use any lure or just the marsh mellows. We use coon candy and moonshine with the marshmellows for coon, just wondering if it would help or hinder on skunks. Thanks again, Brian.

I use drone brood comb from my hives. Skunks go crazy over it.


Of all God's creatures, only the honeybee improves the environment and preys on no other species.

Buttered popcorn puffs is a killer skunk bait.

And.... skunks are far better mousers than any cat. I'd suggest getting rid of the cats and leaving the skunks! smile

I just pretend that I am setting a cage for anything but skunks and presto! Skunks magically appear in every cage.

Those stuffed oatmeal cookies that you pick up at the local convenience store 12 for $1.79. Possums like them too, unfortunately.
