Proper placement of bait will:

Let a raccoon enter the trap from head to tail.

Will compel targeted raccoon to step on the trigger which is a metallic plate.

Will be placed according to the type of the trap, that may be a single or double door type.

SINGLE-DOOR TRAP - Bait at the End of Trap
Bait is placed at the end of the trap behind the trigger at an appropriate distance from the wall to save it from getting stolen.

DOUBLE-DOOR TRAP - Bait at the Center of Trap
Either bury your bait in ground exactly below the trigger, or you may hang it above the trigger.
