Squirrel Traps

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 garden, lawn, and personal. 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.

What's the difference between a live animal trap and a snap trap?

The main difference between a live animal trap and a snap trap comes down to purpose, design, and outcome. Designed as a cage or a box with a trigger-sensitive door, live animal traps capture the animal alive and unharmed, providing for humane relocation or release of raccoons, squirrels, stray cats, and other larger animals. Designed with a baited and trigger-sensitive spring-loaded bar, snap traps provide quick, effective, and lethal pest control, instantly killing small pests and rodents like mice and rats.
