Are Animal Traps Safe for Pets?

Although many animal traps are not safe for pets, Ace carries a number of pet-safe, humane animal traps that will leave your pets unharmed. Keep reading to learn more about the most humane types of traps for each type of pest.

What’s the Difference Between Live Traps and Kill Traps?

Live traps, also known as cage traps, are humane, no-kill alternatives to traditional traps that allow you to catch unwelcome critters unharmed and safely release them into the wild or back to their owners. A live animal trap holds captured animals—from rodents to stray cats to nosy raccoons—securely until you are ready to relocate or return them. 

Kill traps, on the other hand, neutralize the target animal upon them entering the trap. Examples of kill traps include electric powered trap kits, body trap kits, bucket traps and glue traps. Although they aren’t considered humane, they do efficiently and effectively stop pests from damaging your home or garden.

How Does a Body Grip Trap Work?

A body grip trap, or conibear trap, neutralizes the trapped animal by clamping down around their torso. Body grip traps aim to neutralize and kill the animal as quickly and humanely as possible compared to other trap solutions.

What Are the Different Types of Mouse Traps?

Mice traps and rat traps come in many varieties, including kill and no-kill versions. Below is a list of some the different kinds of rodent traps:

  • Bucket trap
  • No-kill cage trap
  • Tunnel trap
  • Glue trap

How Does a Mouse Glue Trap Work?

Mouse glue traps use an extremely sticky adhesive which causes the animal to get stuck on the trap once they run across it. Although effective at trapping pests, glue traps are not considered humane.

What’s the Most Humane Mouse Trap and Rat Trap?

Typically, the most humane way to trap and remove mice and rats is through a no-kill cage trap if the mice are removed from the stress-inducing trap as quickly as possible. These traps are designed with safety features like protective handles and secure door locks to help ensure both you and the animal are unharmed during the trapping and removing process.

How Do You Use a Squirrel Trap?

While not typically thought of as an outdoor nuisance, squirrels can be quite aggressive, destroy gardens and frighten away welcome outdoor visitors such as birds and butterflies. Ace carries live catch cage traps for squirrels that are specifically designed to trap them in your garden or yard without killing them.
