Ringtail Cats in Attic

[Stickslinger92]

Thanks for the tips! Gonna grab some sardines, trail mix, and fruit tomorrow and see what happens!

Just varmit proof a section around the hole and then set up viewing bench. Then you can charge admission to your zoo.

I suggest trail mix with raisins and berries

Gonna go pick up some bait this afternoon. Do you have a specific trail mix that you used that worked well?

Use the TBH brand. It will be full of fruits and nuts.......

...and pea gravel.


All I have to add to the conversation is, cool. They’re cute lil buggers. Hope the traps and trail mix work for ya.

They are poop machines. I had one in my deer stand that stayed all afternoon with me.

We fed one some leftover chicken in camp this year
I heard they are insane predators.

Sometimes with nocturnal creatures in the attic, lots of light will cause them to relocate.

This worked years ago with a family of raccoons in my uncles attic that were very trap wise.

We got a bunch of extension cords and a bunch of very bright flood lights and inundated the attic in light. It did not take but a couple of days and they were gone.

Don't know about the ringtails but it may be worth a try

At least you get cool animals to visit your attic. If I see one more raccoon..

[NAVY CHIEF]

The cheapest will do!

Buy an off brand!

They gotta get out to get water. Can you make a one way door at the opening. They can get out...but not back in.

Catch anything last night?


If the traps don't work maybe a couple bug foggers in the attic will run them out.

Yeah they look cute but when they are backed into a corner they have a whole 'nother side. My dad shot one years ago in west Texas and when I went up to get him he was still alive. Son of a gun tried to eat the Danner boot right off my foot. That's right I pooped down both legs but needless to say him didn't make it.

Here is one I caught this morning.
Friendly little feller.
