Buying advice

Consider the target animal size and your environment. For raccoons and large animals, choose heavy-duty traps with sensitive triggers and safety features. For squirrels and rodents, smaller traps are sufficient. Check local regulations regarding live trapping and release. Look for easy-to-clean and rust-resistant materials if traps remain outdoors.
