Wife heard some pitter patter in the attic the other day but we had no idea what it was. Just found out its a family of ringtail cats. Saw one getting in through a tiny hole in my soffet. Got up in the attic and could see at least three stick their heads up and pop back down to where I couldn't find them.Suckers are cool looking for sure! Main question, how do I catch them? I need them out of that attic so I can patch up this hole before they do any damage.

I just want them out of the attic! Not sure if they are know for causing damage like other animals that get in the attic or not. I will have to grab some sardines and see if that does it.Comment

If you catch the family. I will take them off your hands, and raise themComment

I caught 2 young ones and the momma out my attic last year.
I had 3 small live traps that I got from tractor supply. I think I baited with cat food, but yes sardines will be better.Comment

I did pest control in Austin for a year! They will not eat sardines. Only fruit and nut trail mix!!!!! Will have to live trap them out 1 or 2 at a time. They don't chew but they crap a lot!!!! A lot!!!!lolComment

Sardines for coons and opposums....fruit n nut granola and or trail mix is what I had to use. Caught about 50 totalComment

Anything you would bait a cat with, cat food, sardines, etc.
I personally would just crawl around up there with a .22 loaded w/ rat shot, quicker than waiting for them to go to the trap.Comment

They are 100% nocturnal and as cute as they look they are like Tasmanian devils in the live trap....I relocated all of the ones I caught...Comment

No doubt, daughter said she wanted to "domesticate" them, until she got too close to the trap.Originally posted by NAVY CHIEF View Post
