How do you trap small animals?
Dig a hole in the ground that conforms to the size of the nuisance animal, making it deep enough so the animal theoretically can’t climb out. Cover the hole with brush to disguise it. Place the appropriate bait for the animal on top of the brush. Wait for the animal to take the bait and fall into the hole.
