Identifying and Trapping Cucumber Predators

Teeth marks + chunk removal = gopher, raccoon, or opossum. Rabbits rarely eat cucumbers. Repellents fail on mammals.

Humane Solution

  • Havahart live trap (garden centers/online)
  • Bait: sardines or peanut butter apples
  • Check daily, relocate ½+ mile away

Trapping is the only reliable method. Exclusion fencing works preventatively but is harder for trellised crops.
