Qualirey Live Squirrel Trap 2-Pack 16 x 5 x 5 in — Galvanized Humane Cage with Carry Handle

Qualirey’s 2-piece live-animal squirrel traps are galvanized steel, carry-handle humane cages designed to catch and safely release small rodents without harming them.

These compact, easy-to-use cage traps were built for homeowners and gardeners who want an effective, non-lethal way to manage small animals such as squirrels, chipmunks, voles, and similar rodents. Each set includes two identical 16 x 5 x 5 inch traps made from wire mesh with a galvanized powder coating for weather resistance and durability. The traps feature a simple bait-and-trigger design and an integrated carrying handle so you can transport captured animals without touching them.

How does the Qualirey trap capture animals without harming them?

The trap uses a spring-loaded door and trigger plate so an animal enters for bait and the entrance closes behind it. The wire-mesh construction provides ventilation and visibility, reducing stress while the animal is contained. No poisons or lethal mechanisms are involved, making it a humane option for relocation.

• Spring door with strong locking catch prevents escapes.
• Wire mesh allows airflow and reduces confinement stress.
• Non-lethal mechanism: bait-triggered closure, no sharp internal components.

Where can I set these traps and how do I bait them effectively?

Place traps near known activity like garden edges, under bird feeders, along fences, or by burrow entrances. Use attractive bait such as sunflower seeds, peanut butter mixed with oats, or small pieces of fruit. Set the trap flush to the ground and check it frequently to minimize animal distress.

• Best locations: garden borders, tree bases, under sheds, near bird feeders.
• Recommended bait: sunflower seeds, peanut butter + oats, corn kernels, nuts.
• Check traps daily to release animals promptly and humanely.

How sturdy and weatherproof are these traps for repeated outdoor use?

Constructed from steel wire mesh with a galvanized powder coat, the Qualirey cages resist rust and handle routine outdoor exposure. They’re lightweight enough to move easily but strong enough to hold mid-sized rodents without bending or breaking. With basic care—rinsing off soil and storing dry—they will remain functional season after season.

• Galvanized powder coating protects against corrosion.
• Wire mesh and steel frame resist deformation under normal use.
• Easy to clean: rinse and air dry after use to extend life.

How do I transport and release a captured animal safely?

Each trap includes a carrying handle so you can move a captured animal without direct contact. Take the trap to an appropriate relocation site away from homes and roads, open the door carefully, and allow the animal to leave on its own. Wear gloves if you prefer extra protection when handling the trap or baiting it.

• Use the integrated handle to minimize contact and reduce bites or scratches risk.
• Choose release sites with food and cover, away from busy roads and neighborhoods.
• Wear gloves when checking or handling traps for hygiene and protection.
