Outdoor Trapping Tips

Around poultry houses or yards, underneath or along side range shelters there is practically no end to the wild and domestic animals which cause trouble. Therefore it is always good to have several Havahart® traps handy. This is especially true in rural areas or in sparsely settled communities when it is necessary to protect your property yourself.

Birds of prey as well as mammals are sure to come from land and air to cause loss of plant and animal life. Even in a fish pond the snakes and turtles may be a source of annoyance.

For sets in the open it is advisable to consult the State Conservation Departments for rules and regulations under which protected wildlife may be trapped. If you have a fenced garden, or any fences or walls where animals are found, then set the trap with both ends open along the fence, with or without bait.

Most wild animals will follow along the fences and through the trap to get caught. If you can locate regular runaways by putting up a short fence in a V-shape with an opening to set a trap in, you can direct the animal through the trap.

All Havahart® live animal traps are constructed of sturdy wire mesh that is galvanized for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion.
