H&B LuxuriesRat Trap - Humane Live Animal Cage for Rat Mouse Hamster Mole Weasel Gopher Chipmunk Squirrels and More Rodents (2*Medium)

This humane live animal trap cage works well for catching smaller rodents and critters. It’s easy to set up, and the catch-and-release feature is great for humane trapping. Perfect for smaller pests, but consider the size if you’re aiming for larger ones.

Bought the large trap, got it to work on the first night to catch a cat that was doing number 2 on our porch.Put some sausage in the bait area to lure the cat and covered the bottom with an old t-shirt. After several hours, voilla!The trap worked great. It could even hold 2 cats no problem. It was sturdy and at no time I was worried the cat would escape even though it was pretty big.After use I was able to fold it back the way I got it to store for future needs.

This was made with better material than expected. Also larger than expected due to reviews but not a problem for me. First day out caught a squirrel which was not my intended victim. I just let it out and gave it some peanuts. lol. I want to catch the couple of rats who have caused havoc in my shed. I tried the Tomcat poison and that was horrific. Never again. Only improvement I suggest is a stronger latch for back area. They include a tiny latch and suggest you strengthen it with wire or zip strips (animal would chew right through that). Otherwise happy with quality of purchase.

Within hours we had our first ground squirrel who we were able to move to a nicer area further from my garden. Set up was easy and there are no issues with this cage at all. I did not have to wire it to make it more secure. My only tip is to thread the lever through the trip panel before you secure the back. I like that these can be flattened back out for storage once you are done with them. The tension on the spring proved to be what was needed compared to a larger trap that I own.

If the need should arise, we will have the right cage to catch the little critters.
