After paying a professional trapper several times to remove nuisance skunks, racoons, etc., the trapper showed me how to safely use a Havahart and suggested bait. Using the 1079 I have removed and relocated a couple of dozen animals including skunks, raccoons, 'possums, and one squirrel.
It is important to release the pest animal far, far away! If possible, across a wide river from where you trapped it. A lot of pest animals are territorial and will return in a day or two.
Peanut butter seems to work well for raccoons, skunks, and opossums; it doesn't interest cats.

Problem is Opossums and Raccoons came through the Cat Mate cat door on our screened in porch and eat the cat food. The door opening is 5½” x 5½”. The Model 1079 trap caught a young raccoon on the first night. At midnight, no coon; at 6:30am the coon was in the trap.
Trap worked well, BUT – this young coon had removed the carrying handle and the accompanying claw guard metal plate from the cage. The plate was lying beside the cage and the handle was part in & part out of the cage. I was able to retrieve the handle, which I connected to the back of the cage, and with that and by grabbing the front of the cage over the door with my other hand, I was able to move the critter. (Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling cage with animal inside.)
After a 5 mile drive, I was able to release this raccoon without difficulty, using a wooden rod to hold the door open per instructions. It was successfully relo-cooned to a new wooded area.
