We have the same protein feeder. Can the coons jump up high enough on the funnel to pull themselves up? How high off the ground do you keep it. Also, do you jus wire up the PVC? Never tried that before. Are you happy with it?

I've tried a LOT of methods. Axle grease on the legs finally worked. Pics before and after verified results.

I'll concur with the axle grease. Kept em off all winter. Although the hogs liked rubbing against it.

You can put carpet tack strips on the legs of your feeder. They want climb up the legs the sharp carpet tacks hurt there feet and they wont climb up. It works

Find yourself a trapper. OR, you can trap them yourself. Coon are easy to trap and you could make a little bit of money too. Not tons, but a little. As for the guy who suggested using the fly bait, this will work, but you could end up in big trouble if someone squeals on you as it is a federal violation and the Fed COs love to nail people. If they get a call, they WILL check it out.

Doing this is highly illegal and you are promoting an illegal act. Not only will it kill raccoons but all other species that eat it! Golden Maldrin is not a pesticide labeled for raccoons or any other species other than flies!

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a
manner inconsistent with its labeling.

GOLDEN MALRIN‚ Fly Bait is a fly bait formula
containing Muscamone®‚ Fly Attractant which
encourages both male and female flies to remain in
the treated area, thus feeding on the bait.

GOLDEN MALRIN FLY BAIT IS NOT TO BE USED INSIDE
OR AROUND HOMES, OR ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE
CHILDREN OR PETS ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact
workers or other persons. Only protected handlers
may be in the areas during application. Do not
contaminate feed and foodstuffs. Do not use the can
opener used to open this product on food containers.
Use a separate can opener. Do not apply where
poultry or other animals, especially dogs and young
calves, can pick it up or lick it. Do not use in homes
or where milk is processed or stored. Do not feed
treated garbage. Use only in areas inaccessible to
food producing animals, children, and pets.
Do not use in edible product areas of food processing
plants, restaurants, or other areas where food is
commercially prepared or processed. Do not use in
serving areas while food is present.

•WITH MUSCAMONE® FLY ATTRACTANT
•AMERICA’S #1 SELLING FLY BAIT
•ATTRACTS AND KILLS FLIES
•STANDARD PARTICLE SIZE TO REDUCE DUST
SCATTERBAITS

Use GOLDEN MALRIN Fly Bait as a scatterbait only
around the outside of certain commercial agricultural
production facilities where children or pets will not be
present, specifically feedlots, broiler houses, and
livestock barns. Bait may be used on walkways in
caged layer houses.

GOLDEN MALRIN Fly Bait may also be used as a
scatterbait around the outside of the following
commercial facilities: canneries, beverage plants,
meat and poultry processing plants, food processing
plants, and commercial refuse dumpsters which are
fenced or otherwise enclosed. Do not use around
commercial dumpsters which are not enclosed. Do not
use around dumpsters in residential settings.
To avoid contact, distribute bait directly from container
or other device at the rate of approximately 1/4 lb (4
oz) per 500 sq ft of fly feeding area. Reapply on a
daily basis to maintain control, when the fly
population is large enough to consume 4 oz of
GOLDEN MALRIN Fly Bait within a 500 square feet
area in 1 day. However, when fly populations
decrease, consumption of the bait also decreases, so
reapply every 2-3 days to maintain adequate fly
control. DO NOT PUT IN PILES. Keep 1 to 2 inch
intervals between particles. DO NOT ALLOW FOOD
PRODUCING ANIMALS OR PETS TO HAVE ACCESS TO
TREATED AREAS.

BAIT STATIONS
Use GOLDEN MALRIN Fly Bait in any commercial bait
station secured at least 4 feet above the ground and
inaccessible to food-producing animals, pets, and
children in the following areas: stables, outside of
milking parlors, kennels, fast food establishments,
restaurants, commissaries, bakeries, supermarkets,
refuse dumpsters, and warehouses. Do not use in
edible product areas of food processing plants,
restaurants, or other areas where food is commercially
prepared or processed. Do not use in serving areas
while food is present.

I use live traps baited with marshmellows. Does the trick for me but I live on the ranch. I can trap all week. I average about 25 or so a year.

3 or 4 inch white PVC pipe on each leg about 5 feet long will work for the straight legs, the ladder presents more of an issue.

The ladder try more tack strips and perhaps a varmit shocker would help

i have said it before and will say it again. as a hunter and as a man i have never believed in poisoning a creature. i would rather shoot one the have them suffer. anyone doing so should get the biggest fine the law allows plus loose their rights to own a hunting license and get some jail time to go along with it. to me anyone that poisons animals or even suggest doing so is not a hunter. i hope you know if you are doing such a thing your poisoning alot of wildlife more then just coons. i would hope the game warden of Bexar county would follow up and check on some that even suggest such a thing.

I agree with JRod......Spintech spinners work. No need for varmit cage or anything. Check em out online and they have video showing how they work. And since i've switched, everytime all the guys on the lease fill feeders mine usually still has 1/3 left.

I've done the monkey food thing and it seemed to be an expensive way to piss them off. I think that was an appetizer for them before they ransacked my corn feeders. Shortly after putting that stuff out, they literally destroyed two of my boxed timers. I think it might also act as a fertility treatment as well, because those suckers started having babies out the wazoo...
