Humane Way Folding 50 Inch Live Humane Animal Trap - Safe Traps for All Animals - Dogs, Raccoons, Cats, Groundhogs, Opossums, Coyote, Bobcat - 50"x20"x26"

This trap is 100%! We bought a steel/silver colored one on here, and the first night a raccoon destroyed it from the inside and got away. This trap is the real deal, and it is all in the materials, not necessarily the design. In about 6 months, we have caught 18 raccoons, and 13 skunks! As well, we caught 3 oppossums, but let them go. Needless to say, the skunks and raccoons are no more. We still have this one trap, all in same condition we bought it. And the raccoons tried like hell to destroy it, but could do a thing. Looking for a trap, BUY THIS ONE! I used mostly canned salmon, also sardines and mackeral, when i ran out of salmon. One time we caught 2 raccoons at once lol. Good luck!

This trap is just the right size as its not to long allowing you to put food and set trap more easily. This trap is much easier to set than others i have had. Gets the job done for a decent price

Catch reference: Using this on a stray cat that has been spraying my patio furniture. Perfect size for a cat. PRO: This product works- a cat has enough weight to trigger the pressure plate. Sturdy made and worth the money- $45 vs my local garden/hunt shop that sells for $90. CON: Major design flaw- the back/release door opens INWARD!! Not well thought out for a couple reasons. First- you do not want to put your hand IN the cage while you're trying to release the animal, and second- since the back door opens inward, it is difficult to put bait into the back of the cage. I have to thread it in through the front by either shoving my whole arm into the front or taking a long stick/tongs and pushing the food back. Same goes for food removal. When our "visitor" didn't show up, I had to have my husband shove his arm in the front with tongs to grab the leftover bait, so we wouldn't have to worry about other pests (ants), or other animals getting enticed enough to get caught. Bottom line: The only reason I rated this 4 instead of 3 is because of the price point. It is sturdy, and it works. It does have the minor inconvenience of design, but it also costs half of what my local garden and hunt supply sells them for.

This is my second one. First one was not as well made as this one is. But it worked just fine till it gave out after catching many a large armadillo. This unit is much better built especially around the door area where they take the most abuse. When a fifteen pound armadillo digs their claws into the wire mesh and pushes against the door you will be glad that you have this unit. I don't like the back door as an exit. The front door latch has a very small hole in it to which I attached a line to it and run it across the top so I can pull the latch open while I'm behind the unit. Much safer release especially for possums and raccoons that are much more bad tempered.

Works good if you are catching a pet or don’t intend to keep anything in it long. The pressure plate will sometimes fail to set the trap off. The back door folds inward, so you can’t use it to put food in. However the biggest issue is that apparently they can get out. The door is not secure. We were TNR a cat and he was able to escape right in front of the vets office. No idea if he will be able to survive in an unknown area around all those cars. Would not recommend for TNR.

This cage has been a blessing. My family moved to a new place that has roosters crowing at 3am. After the first night or constant crowing (right outside our bedroom window), I was in the hunt to catch these roosters in a humane way. My local feral chicken program was going to cost $200+ per week to rent a cage. So that was a no-go. And the. The landscaping guy that services our area said he would pick up the chickens for free. Free food. So I pulled the trigger on getting this cage and was quite disappointed for the first 2 weeks. No chickens! I almost wanted to return it and my wife said to be patient. And after a “yes darling”, on Christmas Eve last year, bam. That solid. Of the cage closing was the greatest Christmas present ever. Since then, we’ve caught over 30 feral chickens. The peddle can be triggered pretty easily. So I tend to catch some chicks, but we let those go since we’re really after the big guys which are for eating and mitigating the noise. It also triggers large common birds, so that’s a bit of a hassle to have to let go, but that’s all because the cage works well. Also having doors on both sides is helpful to get the chicken acquainted with the cage, walking in and out to get food.

I also have a smaller squirrel-sized cage. The back door on that one is a piece of cage that slides in and is held in place with a clip. Simple, straightforward, effective. With this 42" cage, the back door folds down onto the floor of the cage. There are a few problems with this. - The worst issue is, you cannot bait the trap from the back. The door folds onto the floor of the cage where you would place the bait. My arm does not bend in a way that allows me to reach around the door when it's partway up, in order to place the bait. - Folding the door inward scares the animal to the far side of the cage. With the squirrel cage, as soon as the animal control guy lifted the door, the squirrel dashed into his cage. With this one, the back tends to slam down and scare them into the front of the cage. It took some coaxing to get a racoon to go into the other cage. - The door folds onto the trigger plate. I guess that's not a huge deal, because it's so easy to set the trigger. It's just an additional, minor annoyance. I am astounded that they didn't figure this out the first time they tried to use their own cage. I'm six feet tall, and I cannot reach from the front past the trigger plate to set the bait. Fortunately, I have one of those grabber devices that I use to reach that far back. They almost need to include one with the cage. I've about reached the point where I'm going to rip the back door off of this trap and come up with a way to secure it, that allows me to easily remove and re-secure the door. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to do that. It needs to be something that the animal can't chew through. One of the raccoons I captured was very tenacious about trying to get out. If I had used twist tie, or anything like that, chances are he would have chewed through it. Or, I might cut a small hole in the side or back that lets me extend a bait tray to where it needs to be. That might be simpler.

Excellent product! I had a nightly visitor sneaking in through my dog door, and raiding my kitchen. My cameras showed an adolescent raccoon helping himself out door and just making a big mess. He was smart enough to open the dog door even when I locked it. I didn’t want to hurt him or pay a bunch to have him caught, so I bought this trap and some leather gloves. The second night I setup the trap, I caught the perpetrator. It was easy to setup and worked amazingly. It was also very easy to load the trap in my car and take him to a forested area far away from my house. Releasing the young raccoon was also incredibly easy without putting myself in danger of a bite or scratch. This product worked better than I thought it would!
