Traps with ‘teeth’ or sharp edges are illegal in all 50 states. Foothold-type traps are designed to be little more than a handcuff holding an animal in place. It should also be noted that traps must be checked no less than once per day to limit the amount of time an animal is held. We strive to adhere to the Best Management Practices (BMP) for trapping in all of our trap selections. For more information on BMPs for trapping, check out this PDF file from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
We identify the problem animal by examining signs such as droppings, tracks, nests, damage, or noises, combined with our expertise in wildlife behavior. A thorough inspection of your property will help us determine the culprit and develop a solution.
