    Inaccurate size description

    By Christopher on 08/21/2019

    Verified Purchase

    Bought this to replace Havahart trap that armadillos have bent and escaped. Perhaps this will work better as others have said, but two immediate concerns upon delivery of trap: - The size stated on this website is 30"X13"X13". In fact the trap is 28"X12"X12" - The ring lock system will likely slip and fail if the trap gets tilted over on its side and certainly its bottom by trapped animal. We'll see how the trap performs in the real world.

    Good idea, poor construction

    By M on 09/16/2019

    I have caught several armadillos with the # 1112 trap. No problem... Worked great! However, I caught just one big ol raccoon and he nearly destroyed the trap. He ripped the trip platform to pieces and nearly turned it over so it faced the front of the cage. Then I caught a large groundhog and it started ripping up the bottem of the cage near the front. All of this destruction appears to be because the welds on the too small wire on the sides and bottem of the cage aren't holding. If I try to fold the wires back down and tie them, they break off. Good idea, poor construction!!

    Duke trap

    By Melissa on 10/04/2019

    It is a sturdy trap. My complaint is the back of the cage does not open up only the front my second complaint is the foot lever on the floor that triggers the cage to shut needs to be about three or four inches towards the front of the cage it's too close to the back of the cage.

    Jail Break

    By Ken on 10/22/2019

    Bought this trap to catch armadillos. First armadillo that was caught escaped by digging a hole through side of trap. This trap is not study enough for armadillos. Great customer care by DoMyOwn. Refunded my money.

    Light Duty

    By Dale on 06/10/2022

    Wire not as heavy as I was wanting and had to take the paint off of the door mechanism so trap would work properly. Not a bad trap for the price
