How can I bait and trap a weasel?

Just recently A weasel got in our duck cage and killed 3 of our ducks and injured 4!

We are very upset and want to catch this weasel ! But we don't don't know what type of bait to use to trap it !

Weasels hunt for rabbits, rats, birds, frogs, ground squirrels, pica, meadow mice, voles, shrews, and eggs. They also like to hunt under cover. They will go into another animals burrow and kill and eat it there. Any fresh bloody meat is a good bait for weasels.
You may try using a few hunks of chicken meat, this may lure them into you're trap.
Depending on the size of the Weasel, and the type of trap you have, you want to make sure the functionality of the unit is sufficient for the mechanics of the trap, and that it would contain the animal. Make sure you place the bait to the furthest back of the trap, to ensure this little critter get completely contained, though as rotten & menacing as it may be, you want not to allow it suffering if you choose to dispose of it. Thus, make sure your trapping method is in good working oder before placement.

Also, determine the natural location of this animal, maybe even to the degree of checking with your locate wild land authorities about a potential means to catch/release and or dispose of. It is more than likely, this weasel is either int he wrong area & looking for food, or is remotely close to were you live, also ensure you find the cause for a break in on the ducks cages & see to it that any problems in design are fixed according to prevention of this happening again.

I wish you the best of luck! Take care, and I'm, sorry to here about the losses.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask or e-mail me.

Catch it in a garbage bag then place the bag in the freezer before boiling it.

Allow a weasel to enter a garbage bag then drop the bag into the freezer and finish by boiling it.

don't trap the weasel! you can use a HARMLESS trap and when you catch the weasel just take it far very far away and when you let it out make sure it is used to its new surrondings!

weasels are God's animals for sure, but when they find birds or things they want they are relentless...I have lost 3 bantie hens, 12 pigeons, and I can't catch it...with a trap, fresh bloody liver or anything...varmints, do not catch and release without checking with neighbors...problem there maybe not at your house.

I can't seem to catch the damn things either. I'm tempted to burn the whole house down hoping to fry as many as possible in the process.

burn the whole house down and be thankful if you fry a few.

Weasles are GOD'S creatures!

We have now lost three 6 week old kittens... I don't care if they are god's creatures or not, as a pet owner I am responsible to protect my animals and that sucker has me on the war path... I am sure if you found your kittens half eaten or beheaded and the only thing left is it's body and face and one ear... you would not concider it as god's creature...that sucker is the devil's work!
