Live Trap Designed To Catch Burrowing Critters
“It works for armadillos, groundhogs, opossum, skunks, and even badgers. Any burrowing animal that can fit inside the trap,” says Kelly Sheaffer, product manager, Safeguard Products. “It has a sliding back door for easy release of captured animals.”
The 36-in. long, 11-in. wide and 12-in. high trap is fabricated with heavy gauge, corrosion resistant wire and welded steel rods. The twin compartment trap is designed with a bottomless entry area that fits over the burrow. A second compartment has a trap door that’s triggered as the animal enters searching for bait.
Sheaffer recommends using a variety of baits depending on the animal being trapped. Fresh produce like lettuce, peas and apples are suggested for woodchucks, while chicken entrails and fresh or canned fish are suggested for skunks.
The Universal Trap is available through wildlife control suppliers and other distributors. Prices range from $79 to $110.
