HOMESTEAD Heavy-Duty Live Trap — One-Door Preassembled Cage for Rabbits & Squirrels, Rust-Resistant Humane

HOMESTEAD Heavy Duty Live Trap is a reinforced, one-door humane cage built to safely capture and contain small to medium nuisance animals for relocation or rescue.

Engineered for durability and everyday use, this professional-style live trap pairs rust-resistant steel construction with a secure, single-door trigger system so you can humanely capture rabbits, squirrels, possums, skunks, kittens, mink and similar-sized wildlife. The trap ships pre-assembled with small eye mesh to limit bait theft and enclosure gaps, and includes a protected handle and smooth interior to reduce injury risk to animals during transport.

How does the HOMESTEAD trap keep animals secure without harming them?

The trap combines heavy-gauge wire mesh and reinforced steel framing that resist bending and chewing while the interior surfaces are free of sharp protrusions. A solid, latching door locks automatically once the trigger is tripped so the animal cannot force an exit.

• Rust-resistant wire mesh and heavy steel frame for long-lasting strength
• Automatic one-door latch engages on trigger to prevent escapes
• Smooth internal edges and wire mesh design reduce injury risk
• Small 1-inch mesh limits paw and nose access to bait

Is the trap easy to set up, clean and move?

This model arrives pre-assembled so it’s ready to use straight from the box; there’s no complicated construction required. After use, the open wire construction allows fast rinsing and drying, and the safety-guarded handle makes carrying a captured animal safer for the handler.

• Pre-assembled for immediate deployment
• Open-wire cage permits quick washout and airflow to dry
• Safety guard on handle protects hands while transporting
