Easy Set Small Animal Trap

Ich habe die Falle gekauft, um Degus wieder einzufangen, nachdem diese aus ihrem Käfig ausgebrochen waren. Dies hat super geklappt und ich konnte innerhalb der ersten paar Stunden vier Tiere einfangen, ohne dass diese verletzt wurden. Die Falle wirkt solide und ist gut verarbeitet. Sie ist fertig zusammen gebaut und mit einem Handgriff einsatzbereit. Wenn man den Hebel zum Scharfmachen der Falle mit etwas Fingerspitzengefühl nicht ganz runter drückt, wird die Falle viel empfindlicher und löst schneller aus, was vor allem bei kleinen und leichten Tieren von Vorteil ist. Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist das etwas zu grobmaschige Gitter der Falle. Kleine Tiere können dadurch wieder fliehen. Wahrscheinlich hat der Hersteller nicht damit gerechnet, dass mit einer so großen Falle auch ganz kleine Tiere eingefangen werden möchten. Andererseits hat das grobmaschige Gitter für mich keinen ersichtlichen Vorteil.

Très bon produit de qualité "professionnelle", très facile à mettre en œuvre et sensible, même pour un animal pas très lourd. La fabrication est de bonne facture et le système interdisant l'ouverture de la trappe par l'animal piégé est bien conçu. La plaque de tôle protège bien la main pour le transport par la poignée mais attention lorsqu'on relâche l'animal capturé. C'est le levier d'armement qui sert à ouvrir le piège et quand on le manœuvre, il est très près du bord de la tôle de protection. Une morsure est donc possible si l'on ne fait pas attention. Le plus prudent est de porter des gants de protection quand on libère l'animal capturé.

Funciona perfectamente tanto con animales pequeños como con animales de mayor tamaño. Y el cebo no queda al alcance de animales domésticos

We have a 1/3 acre lot - and due to a huge pine tree in the yard next to our yard - and fence neighbors who constantly feed the squirrels unshelled raw peanuts by the 20 lb. bag full - we have counted at least 10 squirrels in our yard at one time. We estimate there is a colony of squirrels living in the tree numbering 15 or more. We have spent the last three summers dealing with peanut plants sprouting in our raised beds and lawns - more than 10-15 plants A DAY coming up - as well as our destroyed plants and holes in our lawn because of squirrels digging and burying peanuts. Yes, two years ago we politely asked our neighbors to stop feeding the squirrels- or at least microwave the raw peanuts before putting in their feeders - but to no avail. But by far our biggest motivator to capture and relocate the squirrels was the fact that our two dogs find and eat the rotted peanuts and then throw up for the rest of the day! Something had to be done! We did TONS of research on humane catch and release traps - and although the cheaper traps were tempting because of their price, HAVAHART EASY SET AND RELEASE is the ONLY trap that made sense. Yes, they are a bit more expensive, but it is TRULY one simple pull to set the trap and the same movement in reverse to release the squirrel! Your hands are always protected by the sturdily built cage top. Watch the HAVAHART videos on Amazon - you’ll understand completely. So our experience: We received the size “small” cage approximately 4:00 pm on Wednesday and we put some peanut butter on a soda cracker and placed it BEHIND the pressure pan inside the cage that drops the trap door. We put the cage trap in a path the squirrels use often. After less than half an hour, we had captured our first squirrel!! (Be sure to check the trap every 15 minutes - once the squirrel is in the cage, you will want to release it as soon as possible in the new location.) We put the entire cage with the squirrel inside a large black lawn and garden plastic bag, which calms the squirrel, and carried the cage in the bag to the car. Once in a suitable location - as recommended by Havahart at least three miles away, we opened the cage with one hand to easily release the squirrel who then scampered off. The first day, we put the cage trap outside twice - two squirrels caught and released in less than two hours. The next day, three squirrels caught and released in about two hours. Today three more squirrels in less than two hours. The reason we have stopped at “three a day” is because we are also immediately driving three miles into the country to release them, and that takes time. Anyway, this is the BEST squirrel “live catch and release cage” out there and we couldn’t be happier with the results!!! Be sure to buy the EASY SET - you’ll be so glad you did!!! A side note, DO NOT put the cage out at night or you may capture skunks, rats, or raccoons! Also, please don’t put the cage out unless you are going to be home and watching the trap - so you’ll be able to release the squirrels as soon as possible. UPDATE: We have been using this STURDY AND EFFECTIVE product for the last 13 months, and today we caught and released our seventy-first squirrel! Yes, 71 squirrels have been removed from our property and released 3-4 miles away. The cage still looks and operates like new. So, the moral of this review is DON’T feed wild animals or it upsets nature’s balance - and if you have a squirrel problem - buy this safe and humane trap.

At first I thought the mechanism not sensitive enough but this works a dream. My garden and reticulation has been ruined by squirrels and I've tried baiting and pest controllers - all a waste of time. This has done the trick. I also think the mechanism has got more sensitive with use. Amazing build quality for the price - its extremely well built. This an amazing buy.
