If you would like to get rid of the raccoon instantly, the body grip trap is probably what you’re looking for. Understanding and setting this trap is a little trickier than the last two. There are several tutorials across the web that can show you how. You need gloves and to compress the raindrop-shaped springs on both sides of the trap. Then, flip the trap so that it’s standing up and the trigger wires (in the middle of the trap) above are hanging instead of lying on the ground. Now, leave the bait in the middle of the trap. When the raccoon approaches the trap, it will trigger the trigger wires, and the trap will be set off, flipping and enclosing itself around the raccoon’s neck. This will snap the raccoon’s neck, instantly killing it.
