iMounTEK Humane Live Animal Trap 23.3x7.7in Collapsible Galvanized Wire Cage with Rear Release

The iMounTEK Humane Animal Trap is a collapsible, galvanized-wire live-capture cage designed to safely catch and release small mammals up to about 4.4 lb.

This humane live trap combines a sensitive trigger pedal, fast-closing front spring door, and a rear release door to securely hold animals without harm. Built from galvanized wire mesh with smooth internal edges and an upgraded handle guard plate, the cage is intended for repeated indoor or outdoor use. It collapses for compact transport and storage, and its finer mesh helps prevent escapes and bait theft compared with larger-grid designs.

How does the trigger and door system protect animals and prevent escapes?

The trap uses a sensitive floor pedal that trips the front spring door as soon as the animal contacts it. The trigger rod sits outside the enclosure so the animal cannot tamper with it, and the mesh spacing is small enough to stop timid animals from reaching bait or squeezing through.

• Front spring door closes immediately after trigger activation.
• External trigger rod prevents in-cage damage or accidental resets.
• Smaller mesh openings reduce bait stealing and escape attempts.

What materials and construction features make this trap durable and safe?

The cage is constructed from galvanized steel wire to resist rust and bending under normal use. Internal edges are smoothed to minimize injury risk to captured animals or handlers, and the hand guard plate under the handle protects skin from scratches while transporting a trapped animal.

• Galvanized wire mesh for corrosion resistance and strength.
• Smooth interior edges to reduce cuts or catches.
• Reinforced handle with hand guard plate for safer carrying.

How easy is it to set, bait, and release animals with this cage?

Setting the cage is straightforward: bait the interior, position the trap, and arm the trigger pedal. A rear release door lets you open the trap away from the front to release the animal safely. The collapsible design folds flat for transport after use.

• Quick-to-arm sensitive pedal for easy setup.
• Rear release door enables safer, controlled releases.
• Collapsible frame for compact storage and portability.

Which species and sizes is this iMounTEK trap suitable for?

With internal dimensions of approximately 23.3 x 7.2 x 7.7 inches, this trap is targeted at small mammals up to roughly 4.4 pounds. That makes it suitable for many small nuisance animals, but buyers should confirm target animal size and behavior before purchase.

• Appropriate for small raccoons, opossums, skunks, groundhogs, muskrats, nutria, small cats, and similar-sized animals.
• Not intended for larger wildlife or animals exceeding the listed weight limit.
