For the most part I like using double door traps with nose cones at den sites. It’s quick and easy, requiring no bait or lure. Nose cones are placed over the dens, skunks, chucks, armadillos, etc. and traps are slid under them to take animals coming and going. We have a solid nose cone and a 3-way wire nose cone to accommodate other traps as well as different positioning of a trap.
We also have multipurpose traps that go over a den site with a “built in” nose cone on one end.
Third, there are flush mount traps with a recessed door that can be used at den sites or flat openings in which a trap can merely be placed against the den. With the flush mount it should be noted that whatever the trap chosen, the catch box will be 6 inches shorter. The standard double door, multipurpose trap and flush mount traps all have a 9×11 inch opening.
