Where can I rent a raccoon trap in Dallas TX?

A fury beast has decide my garage is a nice place to hang out during the day. I have cats... so mr coons got to go. City of dallas has a program where they will bring you a trap for free... but, recording at that number says the program has been suspended till the fall. (yes i know its now fall)... 311 says they will come get the raccoon if i trap it. called a commercial service and they want about $250.00 so thats not a good option. I found some traps on-line for about $50.00 .


but would like to spend less then that.... So, where can i rent a trap? thanks in advance.Where can I rent a raccoon trap in Dallas TX?
The Dallas Humane Society rents traps for a low fee. Linked belowWhere can I rent a raccoon trap in Dallas TX?
You can also contact your local DNR or your local office of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Often they will trap and relocate a nuisance animal.





Caution - if you are planning to trap and relocate the animal yourself, rather than calling someone else to do it, make certain that you have the appropriate permits that allow both trapping AND relocation of the animal. In some areas of the country (and I am not familiar with the status in Texas), you can not relocate raccoons into certain areas due to the threat of rabies. If you can and do relocate the animal, be certain that you take it far away, so it does not find its way back, and release it in appropriate habitat, so it can find shelter, avoid predators and not just become some other homeowner's problem.
or... u can get a lid for your trash can and bungie it on..


the coon will not hurt your cats.


They will kill kittens.
