Sumkat Live-Animal Squirrel Trap 16×6×6.7" Galvanized Steel Humane Cage — Sensitive Trigger, Anti-Touch Handle

Sumkat's live-animal squirrel trap is a galvanized-steel humane cage that safely captures and allows release of squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice and similar-sized rodents.

If you need a dependable, non-lethal solution to remove small to medium rodents from garages, gardens, attics or indoor spaces, this Sumkat trap is built for repeated, worry-free use. It combines a sensitive trigger pedal, sturdy rust-resistant construction and an anti-touch top plate so you can carry and release animals with minimal handling. The design prioritizes animal safety and operator convenience while resisting chewing and weathering.

How does this trap safely capture animals without harming them?

The Sumkat trap uses a smooth internal structure and a quick-fall door that closes the moment the trigger pedal is engaged. The interior has no sharp edges or pinch points that could injure an animal, and the galvanized steel resists corrosion for long-lasting, predictable operation. The quick closure reduces stress on the trapped animal and the wide front opening prevents jamming.

• Gentle, smooth interior reduces injury risk
• Sensitive pedal triggers fast door drop for reliable capture
• Non-porous top plate and handle minimize direct contact
• Galvanized steel resists rust and chewing damage

What sizes and species is the trap suitable for?

This cage measures 16" × 6" × 6.7", a size that comfortably holds squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice and other rodents of similar dimensions. It is not intended for very large wildlife or for animals requiring professional handling, but it fits most common nuisance rodents found around homes and yards.

• Overall dimensions: 16" × 6" × 6.7"
• Ideal for squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice and similar rodents
• Not sized for raccoons, opossums, or larger animals
• Works indoors and outdoors with proper placement

How easy is it to set, transport and release captured animals?

Setting the trap requires placing bait near the pedal, pulling the door open and engaging the latch — a straightforward routine most users can perform in seconds. The top non-porous plate and integrated pickup handle let you carry the cage without touching the animal or exposed wire. Releasing is simple: transport the cage to a legal relocation area, unlatch the door and let the animal exit on its own.

• Simple mechanical set and latch system — no tools needed
• Top handle reduces direct contact when carrying
• Durable latch and hinges for repeated releases
• Works with common baits like peanut butter, nuts, or fruit

Why choose galvanized steel and what maintenance does it need?

Galvanized steel provides a balance of light weight and durability while resisting rust and corrosion in outdoor conditions. The welded wire construction is hard for rodents to chew through and keeps the trap functional longer than untreated metal designs. Routine cleaning after each use and occasional checking of moving parts keeps sensitivity and safety consistent.

• Galvanized finish resists rust and weathering
• Strong wire construction deters chewing damage
• Easy to wash with mild soap and water between uses
• Inspect pedal and latch regularly for debris or wear

It suits people who want a durable, easy-to-operate cage for indoor or outdoor use and who will follow local wildlife regulations for release.
