live traps

Catch and release

Live traps are devices designed to capture animals without killing them, allowing for relocation or release.

Unlike lethal traps, they enclose the animal in a cage or container when triggered: We set live traps for the raccoons in the attic.

Common for pest control, wildlife management, and humane removal of unwanted animals.
