Box traps are simple devices used to capture small animals, such as rabbits, squirrels, and feral cats. They are typically made of metal or sturdy plastic and feature a door that closes when the animal enters. The design allows for safe and humane trapping, as the captured animal is not harmed. These traps are often used in wildlife management and pest control to relocate animals or monitor populations. Box traps can be baited with food to attract the target species, making them effective for various trapping needs. Proper placement and use are essential for successful trapping.
