Skunk Baits and Skunk Lures

Skunks, scientific name Mephitis mephitis nigra, are generally not very difficult to trap. But when skunks are grubbing, they can be near impossible to catch. Whether you are trying to catch an ordinary skunk or are trying to catch the great skunk trap avoider, professional baits can assist you.

While no bait is ever 100 percent effective, professional baits have a number of advantages over homegrown baits.

Professional baits can

• hold up better to weather extremes, ie. heat and rain.
• have preservatives in them so they don't rot.
• tested in actual trapping situations.
• provide greater variety of baiting options.
• provide greater convenience
• proivde reater potential attraction to target species.

WDC has received several letter asking us if these baits are poisonous. Let me assure everyone that these baits are not laced with poison. They are only meant to attract the animal NOT kill the animal. They are also not meant for human or pet consumption. They are bait not food for the animal you seek to capture.
