Cubilan Traps

What features make a trap more humane for the animal?

Humane traps are designed to minimize stress, injury, and suffering for the animal. Common features include smooth, rolled edges with no pinch points or sharp parts that prevent injury, proper ventilation that reduces stress or suffocation, and quick-trigger mechanisms that close the door securely without harming the animal. Additional features include adequate space for the animal to stand and turn around, sturdy construction to prevent escape, and easy release systems designed for safe and quick relocation without direct contact.

How do I choose a humane trap for my pest problem?

Choosing a humane trap depends on the type of pest and your goals. A live-catch trap with ventilation and smooth interiors prevents injury to rodents, while a cage trap with secure doors and ample space keeps larger wildlife safe and comfortable. Select an animal trap with no-harm mechanisms, easy release functions, weather-resistant materials, and other safety features that make pest control more humane. We carry humane, kill, and live animal traps to help you achieve your pest control goals.

Where can I place different types of pest traps around my property?

Where you place your traps is just as important as which traps you use. You can place different types of indoor and outdoor pest traps around different areas of your property, such as the perimeter, lawn, and interior home. Always place traps along travel paths such as walls, edges, and near droppings or gnaw marks, avoiding high-traffic areas where your pets and children play.

How do I properly bait and set a cage trap?

The right bait and set technique ensures success and safety. Select the right sized cage trap and the preferred bait for the specific species, positioning the trap along the animal's natural travel paths or feeding areas. Put the bait behind the trigger plate, scattering a few small pieces outside and inside the entrance to lure the animal in. Open the door, engage the trigger mechanism, and check the trap at least every 12 to 24 hours. Cover the trap with a cloth after the capture to calm the animal, and relocate or release it wearing gloves while following local wildlife relocation laws.
