Customer Experience Review
“I purchased this trap three months ago for dealing with raccoons in my attic. The setup was incredibly simple – literally took me under two minutes to assemble from the flat package. The build quality exceeded my expectations, especially the smooth internal surfaces that prevented any injury to the animals I caught.
What impressed me most was the thoughtful safety design. The top guard prevented my curious dog from getting too close when we had a raccoon inside. The release mechanism worked flawlessly with the included tool, maintaining safe distance during animal release.
After using it successfully for both raccoons and a stubborn groundhog, I can confidently recommend this trap to anyone dealing with similar wildlife issues. The investment is absolutely worth it for the peace of mind and effective results.”
