Anyhall Live Animal Cage Traps 2-Pack Black — Humane Reusable Wire Rat & Mouse Traps 12.5×5.5×4.5

Anyhall 2-pack live animal cage traps are reusable humane enclosures designed to capture and transport rats, mice, voles, chipmunks and similarly sized animals without injury.

These two black wire traps measure 12.5 x 5.5 x 4.5 inches and use a sensitive trigger plate plus an automatic slide-bar latch to close and secure the door the moment an animal enters. Built for repeat use indoors or outdoors, the traps let you catch nuisance wildlife alive so you can relocate them in accordance with local regulations. The design adds a larger trigger pedal than many competing models to improve activation reliability, and the compact footprint stores easily when not in use.

How does the trap catch animals without harming them?

The trap relies on a balanced trigger plate: when an animal steps on the pedal to reach bait, the door snaps shut and an internal slide-bar auto-latches to prevent escape. The wire mesh confines the animal without sharp edges, and the door mechanism is calibrated for small mammals rather than large, powerful species.

• Large, sensitive trigger pedal increases activation odds.
• Instant-closing door reduces stress and repeated escape attempts.
• Auto-lock slide bar secures the door for transport.
• Wire mesh cage keeps animals contained without injuring them.

What sizes and species are suitable for this cage?

Each unit is 12.5" long, 5.5" wide and 4.5" tall, sized for rats, mice, chipmunks and voles or other animals of comparable dimensions. It is not intended for large squirrels, opossums or animals that can chew through wire or overpower the trigger mechanism.

• Fits small rodents and similar-size wildlife comfortably.
• Not recommended for large or powerful animals that can break the trap.
• Two traps per pack let you cover multiple hotspots at once.
• Compact size fits in basements, garages, sheds and garden edges.

How should I use and transport the trap safely?

Place bait at the far end of the cage, set the trigger, and check frequently to minimize stress on captured animals. Always use gloves when handling a trapped animal and cover the cage with a cloth during transport to calm it; release at a legal distance from your property.

• Wear safety gloves during release to avoid bites or scratches.
• Cover the cage with a cloth for calmer transport.
• Release captured animals at least 3 km from your home where allowed.
• Check local catch-and-release laws before relocating wildlife.

How do I clean and maintain these traps?

The traps are designed for repeated use and simple cleaning: rinse with water and a mild disinfectant, then air-dry before storing. Inspect the trigger pedal and slide bar latch regularly for debris, and replace or repair if any part becomes bent or excessively worn.

• Rinse with mild detergent and water; air dry fully before reuse.
• Check moving parts for dirt or corrosion after outdoor use.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rusting of the wire mesh.
• Contact Anyhall for a user manual or replacement guidance if needed.

Who is this for: These Anyhall live-cage traps suit homeowners, renters, gardeners and property managers who prefer humane, non-lethal wildlife control for small nuisance mammals. They work well for anyone needing an easy-to-set, reusable solution to remove mice, rats, voles or chipmunks from indoor spaces, outbuildings or around foundations while following local wildlife regulations. If you require traps for larger animals or confirmed pest-proofing against powerful chewers, consider a purpose-built heavy-duty or electronic option instead.
