lshaw-
They are relatively easy to trap with a live trap. Be prepared, I set a live trap up for an armadillo and before it was over I caught a skunk, a racoon and several armadillos. Once you get any of them in the trap you may wonder why you started. I put the trap against the house and angled a 2x8 into the mouth of the trap. As the animals wander around they hit the house and the board and funnel into the trap. No bait necessary.
Good Luck,
Tony M
