Man you gotta mess there, when I lived in Virginia, I had those stinking things bad. They like something in your yard to eat, find out what that is and get rid of it, good luck man. Been there done that, it a stinky deal.White Flag Icon
They like many thinks around here. Mulberries, the chickens and eggs, and lastly they have been digging up the catalpa worm grubs from frrom under the Catalpa tree. I believe I am somewhere around 7 for the year.
The dog up the grubs here and they love yellow jacket nests.
They can have all the yellow jackets they want:Rofl The little Bulldog got into them when he was a pup. They covered him up. They wore me out when I was getting them off of him
we see them under the old style street lights eating bugs frequently , had a snow white one at one place that was a real show stopper , never seen one solid white before or since .
When I live-trap one I take it down to the pond and make a Baptist out of it.
I used an old stock tank. Those little ones are jittery. Can't get close enough to them to put the tarp over the cage.Quote:

I have heard the same. Says they will curl up and go to sleep.
You could always establish a feeding station. Get them used to coming in to it, and then one day set out some special food. I imagine they will eat just about anything. Trapping seems to be a bit of a challenge. I mean putting the trap in the backseat to go relocate them and all.
They will eat almost anything. I have good luck with sardines of some thrift store tuna. Adults are pretty docile and easy to deal with. Drop a tarp over the cage and move them where you wish. The juveniles much different story. It has been several days since I have seen or smelled any. So maybe they have moved on for now
Maybe you could devise some type of drop tarp overhead of the trap, with some braided line ran from your release to a distant location. Just a thought. Good luck
That is a idea. They certainly will not go in the trap with the tarp over it
