Each trap measures 10.5 x 5.5 x 4.5 inches and uses a high-sensitivity pedal that drops a sliding door the moment the trigger is touched, securing the animal inside so it can be moved away from your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these traps actually work and set up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traps use a simple trigger-and-slide-bar system: bait is placed near the pedal, the animal nudges the pedal to reach the bait, and the door locks down automatically. No tools or complex assembly are required, but a quick functionality test before placing the trap ensures smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-test by pressing the pedal or using a stick to verify the door locks smoothly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace bait near the pedal — peanut butter, nuts, cheese or sausage often work well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition along walls, corners, or garage entry points where rodents travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat species will this 2-pack reliably catch and which ones to avoid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cages are sized and constructed for small mammals: chipmunks, common rats, mice, voles and hamsters. They are not recommended for larger or strong-chewing animals like squirrels and opossums, which can gnaw through the wire if held inside for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable: chipmunks, rats, mice, voles, hamsters — fits their size and behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable: squirrels and opossums — teeth strength may damage the cage or allow escape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlways inspect trapped animals quickly and relocate them promptly to reduce stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere should I place and deploy these traps for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrategic placement is key: set traps along known runways, next to walls, under eaves, or inside garages and sheds where droppings or gnaw marks appear. Camouflage can help with trap-shy animals, and rotating bait types increases the chance of attracting different species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace traps flush with walls and in corners where rodents prefer to travel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse different baits if animals ignore the trap — peanut butter and nut-based baits are effective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck traps frequently and move them every few days if no captures occur.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I handle and release captured animals safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an animal is caught, pick up the cage by its handle and transport it away from human dwellings for release. Wearing thick gloves is advisable to protect your hands from bites or scratches, and choose a relocation spot suitable for the species you’ve captured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLift traps using the door handle; avoid tilting to prevent animal injury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWear protective gloves and move the cage to a safe release area several miles from your home if local regulations allow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen the door away from people and pets, giving the animal space to exit quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The Gingbau 2-Pack Humane Live Trap set is made for homeowners, gardeners and property managers who want a humane, reusable option for small-rodent capture without poison or lethal methods.
