I caught an armadillo with this trap and it sprung the door bale and got out (it didn't last until morning when I checked). it also wrecked the trap. This trap is not strong enough to use on adult wild animals. By the way they recommend using bait for armadillos - you don't bait for them, instead you put the trap in one of their runs (usually next to a wall or fence) and they will enter the trap as they snuffle along the barrier that the wall or fence makes.

I caught a raccoon in this trap after trying to escape and he calmed down I let him loose and the cage was still good to go

I had armadillo problems also, even though I set up this trap with 4x4 post in order to funnel the armadillos inside the trap they would never enter it. These traps are made of lightweight materials, they would hold cats, but animals such as Armadillos and Racoons will damage them. Armadillos are very slow and they don't run until you get within a few feet of them. I found it much easier to spot them in the yard at night with a flash light, and since I live in a rural area, I shot them. They carry several diseases so be careful not to touch them.

I would suggest 4 traps for half an acre. The most important put them as far as possible from what you want to protect.

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.

The bigger one (I have used this to catch baby rats) is Havahart 0745 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Chimpunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel Trap. It works great!

I see you know how to use the internet. Google havahart and there is a video on How To Set traps. Or look on You Tube. Have fun good luck.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

Squirrells have too strong legs for these traps.They usually easily escape.The best and most humane way for squirrell is to catch them alive and give the freedom far away from home.I suggest Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat (available on Amazon.com) for this purpose.The best bait is peanut butter.

Take the caged animals out and cover the cages with some towels. Then go around spraying at the bugs, where you think they nest, and in the general air where they are in case you miss. Given the animals you have I assume you have Indian meal moths, you should get some traps as welll. If I was wrong then disregard that last sentence.

This trap will catch any small animal that enters it, and will not hurt the animal. The animal has to walk into it however, and trip a lever that will quickly close the door. I guess some food might lure a kitten to enter. I have used it to catch armadillos, and have caught rabbits and raccoons that could easily be released unharmed.

Hi Yes - they sent a thingy that looked like a straw right? That's what you use to punch holes where it looks like they should be punched.Absent that your trap won't work.Good luck!

Your snake is too big for the small snake trap. Works great for small snakes, though.

Use peanut butter. Works like a charm. Make sure you hunting a rat and not a mouse. A mouse will not trigger the trap. Use peanut butter

Does not need a bottle trap, tegular p trap worked just fine. I dont know the distance from the wall to the trap, im sorry

I would also use the glue trap. I used it in my back porch and caught two at the same time. Threw the trap to the neighborhood cat, so now I have a new friend.

I have caught armadillos 20+ lbs with room to spare so the size of the trap should be no problem. The trip plate is far enough away from the trap door that when the door closes it should not hurt your cat.

I am troubleshooting it to see how I can respond and help you with this question. Make sure you pull the lever to the plate where they step on as far back as possible, then hook it onto the hinge lever and test it. That seems to be the only way these traps work. ai have many years working with these kind of traps rescuing stray cats....
