A pain to put together, but successfully trapped opossums for relocating.

Do you have a woodchuck digging the Boston tunnel system under your house? I do. He's been building a subterranean fortress for months. So I bought this trap. Threw melon in it and after a few days I GOT HIM...HAD HIM. Mechanically this trap works pretty good, but on the opposite end from the gate, to assemble it you slide this little wire across the end and hook it to secure it shut. Well woodchuckzilla was able to push the back open because the tiny wire thing bent like a bread tie so he escaped. Solution: I added hose clamps to the corners. If he's desperate enough for some tasty melon to go back in this thing, he ain't getting out again.

Easy set up, super affordable. Set it out and caught my feral cat the first night. Easy release with the back cage door. I highly recommend this product

I have caught thirty three coons, five opossums, seven cats, one ground hog, and three squirrelsThe cage gets banged up, but it's easy enough to straighten out and reset the lever.We take them all to a creek bed across the county and set them free

So far I have caught five cats with this trap. It's worth every penny. Even some of the sly ones that like to steal the bait and get away sooner or later get caught in this thing, it's sensitive but stable. it's very well made. It's made catch and release a breeze, I would recommend this trap. You can leave it out at night too and it'll catch raccoons and possums. It's really easy to work with The only thing I'd recommend is putting a trash bag or something over the back section behind the flip switch so the creatures can't reach through the cage and steal the bait on the back end.

Update: 11-21-21 I caught some more cats and some raccoons, see new pictures I just added!Our back yard was overrun with cats from a female cat, that showed up at a neighbors home and made a nest under their storage shed and had many babies! ;-(The owner and I called every place we knew of, that might take the kittens after they were weened, and every organization said NO they were full!Our local "Animal Protective League" (APL) said they would help with cutting the cost of getting them spayed or neutered, so at least that part could be done, so they won't be having any more babies.A few places put our names on a waiting list and would call if they had an opening, and one day out of the blue, almost 6 months later a "No Kill Shelter" called "Meow Meow", and said they would like to interview me.So I went in, told them our predicament and they agreed to take them all, Praise God!!!I asked if I could borrow a cage, as I had never trapped before, but they had none to loan out.I did some research on line and after reading lots of reviews on "Amazon" and "Walmart", I choose to buy this cage on "Amazon" because they had the best reviews, and I must say it has really done its job, as you can see by the pictures I posted!!!It is sturdy and is easy to set up and priced right! :-)I bait the cage's trigger plate with "tuna", and as soon as the cat steps on it, to eat the tuna, the door slams shut trapping them inside the cage!!! :-)The cat tries everything it can to get out, but this cage really holds them in good, which is a great, because if they could even get a paw out of a hole, they would put the hurt on me, as they are really pissed off once caged!!! :-(I then pick up the cage by the 2 handles that came with it and take it to the back of my truck and cover them with a tarp, "they say on line, this calms them down and I must agree it does."After a little calming period I go back out and take their pictures, as you can see, (updated April 24th, 2022) so far I have caught 30 Cats, 1 possum, and 3 raccoons!I have not caught them all "YET", (3 or 4 to go) but I have high confidence that this cage will hold up to meet the challenge!! I will then donate it to APL.This cat shelter is only open weird hours 10:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. so I only trap starting at 8 a.m. and shut it down at 3:00 p.m. and I don't trap when its raining or snowing out.It takes 45 minutes to get there from my home and I NEVER keep the trap out overnight, because I don't want to catch a raccoon, possum or worse yet a skunk!Update: 11-21-21 I have caught 3 raccoons, the cage has held up well even though 2 of them tried like hell to destroy the cage but failed!They did manage to bend the bar that holds the flapper up, and they bent the back bar that keeps the back wall closed, but the cage still held them!I was able to bend them bars back into shape to catch again.I can't wait for this to end, I am getting tired of doing this, but glad I bought this cage, as it has held up very well!!Do yourself a favor and buy this GREAT trap!!!I added some more cat pictures and some raccoon pictures that I caught!Sincerely Keith,A Happy Buyer from Illinois :-)
