Freedom Brand Dog Proof Coon Trap

The trap features a narrow, enclosed tube that requires the raccoon to reach inside and pull on a trigger to release the bait. Because the trigger is recessed deep within the tube and requires a specific pulling motion, it is physically difficult for dogs or other larger animals to accidentally activate the mechanism.

The FB1 is designed with a full back plate that acts as a safety barrier. You can set the trap by either squeezing or stepping on the back plate, which keeps your fingers away from the trigger mechanism during the setup process.

Raccoons are highly motivated by scent. Most users find success with sweet, sticky baits like marshmallows, peanut butter, or fish-based pastes that can be smeared inside the tube or placed at the bottom.

Yes, the trap is constructed from durable metal with heavy-duty music wire springs, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, it is recommended to stake the trap firmly into the ground to ensure it remains upright and stable regardless of the terrain.

Yes, the FB1 is built for long-term use. Once you have successfully caught a pest, you can release the animal, reset the trap, and rebait it for future use.
