Pull up the trap door from behind and the animal will run out. Stay calm and try to keep the animal calm after you transport it to the place you want to let it go.

Honestly I've never caught a animal, but the manual says open the rear door. To me it looks difficult to open rear I thought I would open front door but be careful.

1. Viewing trap from front, position yourself on the right-hand side of trap.2. For Model 1089 only: lift the lock on top of the cage with your right hand. 3. Place the forefinger of your left hand through the loop on the door of the trap and with your thumb, push the lock frame and lift the door and insert stick through both sides of the trap to prop the door open

I have released out both ends. I find turn in the cage away from me then opens in the main trapdoor is eassist. It also keeps the solid door between your hand and the creature. Otherwise pull the pin on the back side and slide it out the back side then can open when pressed out.

options on releasing a trapped animal: contact your local animal control center, they are glad to assist.Place the 1089 with the trapped animal in it in the back or your pickup truck. Drive several miles away and humanely release the animal.

Lift latch on top of cage near entrance then depress the top spring located near the top of the door. I wouldn't worry too much about it tho , because the 1089 is complete junk and the coons and skunks easily get out of the cage as it's not strong enough material and simply strongarm their way they the trap door . Trust me William, don't buy this trap

The same way you set the trap door. I have caught 9 feral cats with this trap. Don't know about other animals if it works for them.

Yes, this would work. It may or may not fatally injure the animal, but would move it along. If you don't want to kill the animals, maybe a softair gun would be good.

I use dry dog food and leave a trail leading to the trap every 3-5 feet. Works wonderful. Good luck.

I don't have those critters so I don't know. The lid slides open but you almost have to be standing on the ground to do that. I don't know that is animal could get it off on its own

You have to release them. I just took them far away and let them out into a wooded area. You just open the top and gently shake them out.

Usually you can call Animal Control in your city and they'll come pick it up. After they relocate the animal they'll call you and you can go get your trap back.

Well, you fill it with water... it's a little higher than the trap... and then dump the trap in, squirrels and all. :( Otherwise you need to find some other way to dispatch them. The woman at the feed store we bought ours from doesn't need the basin; she attached a long chain to it and throws it into her irrigation pond.

You can take the mouse outside and release him by pouring cooking oil on the mouse's feet that are stuck. The oil neutralizes the glue. I've done it twice, works great.

I don't know either. I tried to keep it open by placing a straight pin in the opening but now I can't get that out either. It is a problem.

We used pliers to open the clasps, connected the panels and then closed the clasps securely w/ the pliers again. To reinforce we then used the stakes to secure the pen into the area that we placed it in. That was one of the negatives I felt to this pen, but once we did that we have had no issues w/ our rabbit getting out. Good luck....

It is supposed to release automatically. When it starts hanging on, you might as well toss it.

Wildlife-removal.com will give you some insight to fixing the problem. Most likely a rodent problem. Someone also said to put a light next to the trap for heat this time of year. Good luck

I carefully used a strong, wide, flat head screwdriver to pry up one edge, (go deep! about 1/2 " don't stab yourself! and be careful not to catch the battery underneath) continue to pry up until it pops out. It IS very difficult to get open as there is a lip underneath above the batteries that help hold it in. A pain, but you don't want that popping out while your dog plays with it. There are 2 batteries once you get inside. Takes me a few minutes to get it open.

Observe the photograph of the trap. There are wire fixtures on each end that flip down and engage in tabs to hold the doors closed. When you want to release the trapped animal, you flip those wires up. When you want to trap, you flip them to the outsides so when the doors fall, the wires drop into the locking position. You probably just have them flipped the other way. Flip them to the outsides when setting the trap and you should be all good.
