cage traps

Live-catch animal containers

Cage traps are devices designed to capture animals alive by luring them into an enclosure that closes behind them.

Unlike lethal traps, they allow for release or relocation: We set cage traps for the raccoons in the attic.

Common in pest control, wildlife management, and humane animal removal.
