Box traps are simple devices used to capture small animals, such as rabbits, squirrels, or feral cats. They are typically made of metal or sturdy plastic and feature a door that closes when the animal enters the trap. The design ensures that the animal is safely contained without harm, allowing for relocation or humane euthanasia if necessary. These traps are often baited with food to attract the target animal. Box traps are popular among wildlife control professionals and those looking to manage pest populations in gardens or urban areas. Proper use and placement are essential for effective trapping.
