Best trap for raccoons and skunks
5 of 5 stars
By Tony in Santa Cruz, CA on 09/30/2013

The raccoons tearing up my yard were not deterred by chemical and natural repellents, motion-detection sprinklers and barking dog alarms, and electrical "scat mats." A live-catch steel cage trap cause…

The best solid-side trap on the market
4 of 5 stars
By Matt in San Rafael on 08/05/2020

I've got three of these in use in my wildlife control business. Unlike a wire cage, the solid-side construction shields the animal from customers' view and it is a perfect euthanasia chamber. Catch an…

This is the best trap for raccoons!
5 of 5 stars
By Corrine in Illinois on 06/16/2016

This is the best trap for raccoons! The raccoons cannot get their claws out to grab at things as they are being transported to a new area! Love it!

Great trap!
5 of 5 stars
By Thomas in Carmel, IN on 07/30/2017

This is very high quality. I have used cage traps in the past. With this trap, the animal can't get at you. And it can't rip up your landscape. You could even use it on a deck or on a rooftop. It woul…

Durable but will modify for animals safety
3 of 5 stars
By N in Tiffin on 02/10/2022

While I like the exterior durability of the trap, I am hesitant to use it without modifying the interior design. The two interior screws are left long and the metal trip pad seems like it could al…

The best hard-sided trap out there
5 of 5 stars
By Matt in San Rafael, CA on 11/04/2019

When you need a solid-sided trap that contains a skunk or angry raccoon safely and doubles as a euthanasia chamber for gassing, there really is no alternative. The trigger mechanism is simple and reli…

Great Product

By Quint in Blackfoot, Idaho on 08/21/2017

We received the trap quickly and it was as described. Trap works great, we have caught 3 skunks. The only draw back is that it is hard to see what you have caught in the trap. The enclosed design is g…

More humane than wire trap
4 of 5 stars
By Betsy in Maine on 08/31/2020

There are more do-it-yourself elements to operating this trap than are suggested in the advertising. However, this is more humane than a wire trap, any smell is contained, and I could transport the t…

Fantastic!
5 of 5 stars
By Juliet in High point, NC on 02/28/2020

I caught a pesky raccoon on the first night! It has no wire mesh so very humane way of catching animals with no damage to the critter or anything under or around the trap.

Great trap
5 of 5 stars
By Don in Klamath Falls, Oregon on 03/15/2020

Works very well for skunks. Have caught 2 in the past couple of week.. Easy to tip upright, fill with water and drown the animal with NO smell. Bait with peanut butter, avoid catching cats.
