if you have any 220 canibears you just have to make a box open on one end put the bait in the back and the trap on the front and some sweet smellin lures

good luck

In barns I use apples or banna for bait because cats are not atracted to them but coon are

a 5 gallon bucket notched to hold a 220. Marshmallows are good for barn coons to avoid cats

that will work if you put a latch on the door,so they can't lift it. if it doesn't have a latch they can lift it and stick there nose under and they are gone.

when i was younger i made a few box traps out of wood and wire fencing ..... used nylon line and filed down nails for the trigger mechanism ..... and wire fencing for the back of the trap ...that way when the door was open (trap set) the wind could pass thru the trap to spread the scent ..... they worked ok ....but would be better if ya spent a few bucks and got ya sum good traps ...... they will more than pay for themselves
