When using live traps, you need to set them where you know the cats are active. Since cats are wary animals, using a can of cat food isn't always going to get them in the trap. We suggest setting a can of fish flavored cat food in the back of the trap, behind the trip pan, and centered. You can also use any other foodstuff you know they like to eat which could include anything around the yard you have seen them consume. About two tablespoons, smeared on the trip pan, will release enough smell to lure any cat over to the trap and once they see the offering inside they will readily enter .
Nuisance cats can be a problem.
Wild cats should be trapped and either relocated or destroyed - depending on local ordinances. Local cats which use your property for defecating, chewing or stalking can be stopped with some of the new repellent materials available.
