Qualirey 2-Pack Live Squirrel Trap Cage, 16 x 5 x 5 in Galvanized Humane Catch-and-Release

The Qualirey 2-pack humane squirrel cage is a galvanized wire-mesh live trap designed to catch and release small rodents like squirrels, chipmunks, voles, and mice safely and without harm.

Designed for homeowners, gardeners, and property managers who want a practical, non-lethal way to manage small wildlife, this pair of traps combines sturdy steel construction with a compact 16 x 5 x 5 inch footprint. Each cage uses a simple bait-and-trigger mechanism with a secure door lock so you can capture animals quickly and relocate them. The traps arrive ready to assemble, include a carrying handle for safe transport, and are coated to resist rust from outdoor use.

How does this trap catch animals without hurting them?

The Qualirey trap uses a spring-activated door and an internal trip plate. When a small animal enters to reach the bait, the plate releases the door which closes behind it, enclosing the animal in the cage without harming it. The wire-mesh design allows air and visibility while preventing the animal from chewing out.

• Spring-driven door locks automatically when triggered.
• Wire mesh construction prevents injurious pinching or crushing.
• Ventilated sides allow airflow and reduce stress for the trapped animal.

Is the trap durable enough for repeated outdoor use?

Yes — each cage is made from steel wire mesh with a galvanized powder coating that resists rust and stands up to repeated handling and weather exposure. The structural design tolerates the movement and pressure common when capturing active small mammals.

• Galvanized powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance.
• Welded mesh and reinforced frame for long-term strength.
• Compact dimensions keep the trap lightweight yet robust.

How do I set up and transport the trap safely?

Setup takes only a few minutes: place bait at the far end, pull back the release lever to engage the door, and set the trap on level ground where animal activity is observed. After a capture, use the integrated carrying handle to move the cage without touching the animal or the trap’s sharp points.

• Simple lever and trip-plate setup; no tools required for basic assembly.
• Built-in handle keeps hands away from the cage opening while transporting.
• Use gloves and place trap in a covered vehicle area during transport for safety.

What animals can I reasonably expect to catch with this size trap?

The 16 x 5 x 5 inch cage is sized for small to medium rodents and similar animals. It works well for squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, and voles, but isn’t suitable for larger wildlife like raccoons, opossums, or rabbits. Choose bait that targets the species you want to relocate.

• Effective for squirrels, chipmunks, voles, mice, and rats.
• Not intended for larger mammals; use species-appropriate traps instead.
• Two traps in the set let you cover multiple spots simultaneously.

Who is this for: The Qualirey 2-pack humane squirrel traps are aimed at homeowners, gardeners, urban farmers, and caretakers who prefer a catch-and-release approach to small mammal control. If you want a reusable, rust-resistant, and easy-to-operate solution for removing nuisance rodents without lethal methods, these traps provide a compact, practical option. Keep them away from young children and follow local wildlife regulations when relocating captured animals.
