Is this size trap ok for woodchucks?

Not sure...we just "hunt" down the destructful rabbits !!! We also have a trap for chipmunks!!!!!!

I have no idea, but it is a great size for squirrels & possums. If a woodchuck is much larger I would order the next larger size. The trap has performed very well but you have to remember to flip the wires down that hold the doors closed once the animal is trapped.

It may be a little large for woodchucks, because the trigger may be too tight for them to trip.

The p-trap isn't an issue. The tail piece would be the only consideration. It has to be long enough to get through the counter/cabinetry and extend down to the trap.

What do you mean by small? The bottom trap portion is larger than another brand trap I own if that helps.

Hi... there are a couple of answers to your question. First, this model needs a pretty good sized rat to trip the mechanism. I had better luck with : Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel - 0745... I caught several of varying sizes with this one. I also accidentily captured one of my favorite squirrels..he wasn't happy. I would keep the rat traps where the squirrels don't go if possible...AND make sure the squirrels have their own feeders so they are not tempted to go where the trap is. Interestingly, now that I've relocated around 9 rats, we haven't seen or heard them in close to a month...and there is never rat poop in the squirrel feeder anymore... it used to be there everyday. Hope that helps.

I think it will work perfectly. You can only catch one at a time with this trap, but it great for those extra small critters.

It should be fine. The trap is really a big size. They won't be in the cage that long either. Good luck.

I wouldn't bet on it. It break easily. I would use victors large snap traps. THEY WORK GREAT!

The trap is a stiff piece of thin card stock (paper) that is 4 inch x 10 inches. The sticky surface is only 3 inch x 7 inches.... but it seems to work ok... I had several scorpions and crickets stuck to it. Must be time to change.

Absolutely. You must dig a tightly fitting pit for the trap down to the floor of their tunnel leaving both ends unobstructed. If you dig the pit too wide they will simply dig through the loose earth and go around it. Make sure you leave the way through the trap as the path of least resistance. I usually put a brick or some other weight on top to weigh the trap down while being very careful not to inhibit the traps mechanism when tripped. Do what you can to block as much light as possible without snagging the trap's arms. I use pieces of black garbage bag plastic pegged to the ground with whatever I have around at the time (rocks, big nails, staples cut from coat hanger wire, small "Y" shaped trigs, etc..) The trap also works for chipmunks (2 so far) or anything else that runs through tunnels in the ground or holes in the wall. Good hunting.

I would say it's a medium trap. Opening when set is about 2.75 inches wide. For me it traps and kills small to medium gophers no problem. The larger gophers seem to get trapped but it doesn't kill them instantly. I LOVE my traps. I've taken more than 3 dozen gophers off my lot since I purchased them. I don't need any bait or poison which is a plus since I have a dog. Hope that helps.

I haven't had success with the trap myself. The rabbit has actually taken the bait without tripping the mechanism. Try putting some petroleum jelly on the bars so there is no friction. It can't hurt and might work.

The trap is 32"L x 10" x 12" H. It is plenty big enough for a raccoon. The box the trap comes in has a photo of a raccoon on it. It's nice and sturdy too.

I use the trap for rats, and if you have smaller grey squirrels, it might work. However, I would recommend going up a size if you have the overstuffed variety we have in our neighborhood.

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

Don't know. Haven't tried that trap. But these do not work as well as the traditional wooden snap traps. These tend to not kill instantly. While they trap the animal they don't always kill leaving the animal to die slowly.

Not 100 percent sure but the trap is a full size tramp. I am not sure if you can get any bigger unless you get an Olympic one.

Haven't had much luck with this one. Caught one woodchuck with an open jar of peanut butter inside at the end of the cage. Didn't cover it at all. Since then, nothing. The little latch thing at the top that holds it open is finicky, hard to keep open. Still seems like a pretty good trap for animals larger than squirrels.
