Z TRAP Skunk-N-More 24" 6" Diameter Solid Aluminum Live Animal Trap - Spray-Proof, Lightweight 16-Gauge

The Z TRAP Ztraps 6" Skunk-N-More is a 24" solid-aluminum, spray-proof live animal trap engineered to safely capture and contain skunks, opossums, rabbits, squirrels, feral cats and other small nuisance wildlife for humane release or relocation.

This single-piece 6-inch diameter aluminum tube trap uses a confined design and a patented push/pull trigger linked to a gravity-activated, self-locking drop door to limit an animal’s ability to lift its tail and spray. Built for repeated use, the lightweight but rugged 16-gauge aluminum body and steel door components protect you from bites and scratches while keeping captured animals calmer than open-wire cages. The removable rear door, bait tray and viewing slots make setting, checking and transporting the trap straightforward for backyard, farm, or TNR work.

How does the “spray-proof” feature work to prevent skunk spraying?

The trap’s 6" internal diameter restricts a skunk’s posture so it cannot raise its tail to spray. The enclosed tube also reduces sudden movement and stress, lowering the chance of defensive behavior.

• 6-inch solid aluminum tube limits tail lift and turning space
• Enclosed interior reduces panic and aggressive reactions
• Viewing slots let you check a capture from a distance

What animals can I safely catch with this trap?

Although designed with skunks in mind, the Skunk-N-More handles a wide range of small to medium nuisance animals. Its tube size and locking mechanism are suitable for opossums, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, and feral cats when used properly.

• Works for skunks, opossums, raccoons, rabbits, and similar-sized animals
• Also useful for TNR programs to capture feral cats humanely
• Not intended for large wildlife; check local regulations before relocation

How do I set, bait, and release an animal using the trap?

Setup is simple: open the removable back door, place bait on the food tray, lock the front door open, and arm the patented push/pull trigger. When the animal enters and trips the trigger, the gravity door drops and locks automatically. For release, use the secure rear door and multi-pin chain to open safely at a recommended relocation site.

• Removable back door and food tray for easy baiting
• Patented push/pull trigger activates a self-locking drop door
• Carry handle and viewing slots simplify transport and monitoring

How durable and portable is the trap for field or farm use?

Constructed from a single 16-gauge aluminum tube with steel door parts, this trap is lightweight for transport yet resilient against wear and animal attempts to escape. The integrated carry handle and compact 24" length make it convenient to move between trapping locations.

• One-piece 6" aluminum tubing resists corrosion and damage
• Heavy-duty steel drop door and locking mechanism for secure holds
• Deluxe carry handle for easier transport and deployment
