TRAPPING OPTIONS

WHEN YOU HAVE CRITTERS YOU JUST CAN'T GET RID OF

 

There are many different traps that are available to choose from. Some can only be used in certain areas because of laws, primarily in cities. In other cases it is the land owner’s choice in how they want the animal captured. Below are pictures of different traps that are available to help you help me choose how to capture your problem animal(s).

Must be used carefully in areas with pets and children.

Colony traps or repeating traps are great to set in ponds when trying to catch muskrats.

It also works well when trying to catch more than one small baby, like these three skunks.

Snares, when set properly, are another non-lethal trapping option.

These are species specific when set correctly.

This picture on the left has been set for a beaver.

The coyote on the right has been caught in a snare.

The Victor Out O' Sight mole trap is my favorite for trapping moles.

I paint my mole traps bright orange on the top and mark them with flags in the yard to help the home owner avoid lawn mower accidents.

The Gophinator gopher trap, a windup trap that kills adults and juvenile gophers.

Gopher traps are placed in the gopher tunnels and flagged with marking flags.

The Victor Mouse Snap Trap is used to catch voles.

Using this setup, voles can be caught using the common mouse trap.
