aledaras Animal Cage Trap 32"x10"x12" — Folding Galvanized Live-Capture Raccoon Trap, Heavy-Duty

This compact, fold-flat animal cage offers a balance of strength, portability and considerate design for homeowners, property managers and wildlife control professionals who need a reliable way to live-capture nuisance animals. Made from rust-resistant galvanized mesh with reinforced framing and an intuitive trigger-door mechanism, the trap assembles in seconds without tools and stores easily when not in use.

How does this trap protect animals while capturing them?

The trap prioritizes minimal stress and injury with smooth interior edges and an internal trigger mechanism that keeps moving parts away from the animal. A top cover and rounded frame reduce the risk of cuts or pinches while the retaining clip and oval support frame hold the cage securely so the animal cannot push through.

• Smooth welded seams to avoid sharp edges
• Internal connecting rod keeps the pedal mechanism out of reach
• Top cover protects both animal and handler
• Retaining clip secures the rear door for safe transport

How easy is it to set, bait and store this trap?

The folding design converts from nearly flat to fully assembled in seconds with no tools required, making setup straightforward even for first-time users. When empty, it folds down to a compact packed size so it fits in a trunk or garden shed without taking up much room.

• Quick fold-flat assembly for fast deployment
• Packed dimensions: 36.22" x 12.2" x 2.36" for easy transport
• Simple baiting and single-door trigger action
• No tools needed to open, set or collapse

How durable is the construction for repeated outdoor use?
