You need two traps side by each but you also cannot walk away until all are secured and honey that may take several hours! Even then wherever you move them to will be a likely death sentance!!! Read on >>>>
Many people think that a raccoon can survive anywhere. It may even appear that moving a raccoon from an urban backyard to a ravine, park, or forest will help them, since these spaces seem more “natural.” But the truth is, raccoons have specific home ranges where they are adapted to living.
A city raccoon’s home range is usually about 3 blocks, and within that range they learn where to find food, water, shelter, and how to stay safe. A raccoon that’s spent its whole life living in a garden shed and foraging in green bins isn’t going to stand a chance suddenly transported to a conservation area. Not to mention that there are probably already raccoons living in the new territory who won’t be too happy about having a new neighbor.
Trapping a raccoon and moving it to a new, unfamiliar location – even one that looks nice to us – is stressful and bewildering for the animal. Relocated raccoons almost never survive more than a month or two in their new environment.

Opinion: If the pups are still with the mom, they are too young to be separated from her and will most likely die. I would not want this on my conscience.
If you are planning to trap the mom then please remove her babies with her to their new residence.
Moms being separated from their babies is unnecessary and heartbreaking.

I see you are still criticizing , insulting and rubbing members simple mistakes in their faces with your snotty attitude as you have done from day one. Yet YOU question why you don't feel liked by several members of this forum! I'm sure you're intelligent enough to figure it out all on your own.
