box trap
Enclosing animal catcher
A box trap is a device for capturing animals alive, consisting of an enclosed container with a trigger mechanism that closes a door when an animal enters.
The trap baits the animal inside, then confines it without injury: We set a box trap to relocate the raccoon.
Box traps are used for pest control, wildlife research, and humane removal of unwanted animals.
