I have a huge colony of community cats. I’ve gotten most S/N but there are some stubborn ones. I need a trap where you can transfer them from a drop trap to a regular trap as our shelter won’t take them to S/N unless they’re in a regular single cat trap.

We cold colaborate instead of you just delete my comment after you stolen my idea implemented in @pegapracastrar drop trap

This drop trap has enabled many rescue groups to help many timid cats. Great video on how to set up.

OMGGGGG, I need this for the XL 4x4😩😩😩

Buddy quit yapping and make the video shorter. Don't need the unnecessary explanation on how a trap works

The XL one door Havahart Trap I just bought from someone, we had to bend the top side wire with pliers to get the pan to sit up enough to be triggered… now it works, but it was somehow damaged. I think that top part might need replacing as well as the clamp that folds it loosely at the top of the cage. We shall see if it works for trapping a pesky woodchuck/Groundhog tonight!

What are the white pieces of the lock mechanism made of? If plastic how long will they last from repeated use before weakening and snapping, and what stops an animal from chewing on them? For the price of these traps, I want to be sure it will last a long time with repeated use. Unfortunately I live in an area with many feral cat colonies and too many irresponsible pet owners who abandon their cats to fend for themselves when moving, so the trap will be used multiple times per week.

Please come clear my pond of snappers. They have killed me ducks that I raised from eggs. They have killed 3 ducks this week. Please help. My heart is broken.

Thank you 🙏🏿

Thanks! That's better than my solution of adjusting the two bars in front with a ziptie, lol. The ziptie pinches them together just enough to adjust the locking tabs to the correct position.

Very instructive and easy to follow. Thanks so much for posting this video!

Would be nice to be able to see the top of the trap when you insert the rod

These are awesome.

Send me number I want this

You MUST clip the sliding door on the drop trap with the clips otherwise a tom cat can bust out of the sliding door. I’ve trapped over 250 cats and have had it happen once, never again. Also, make sure the surface is completely flat, no tree roots! Cover drop trap with a blanket, not a towel immediately. Cover transfer trap on the top and sides, but leave the end open so they can see all the way through. Make sure cat is not looking at you and make sure you have no slack in your rope and it’s best to hide in your car or behind a fence, building, etc. as you have be cautious with kittens as drop trap is very heavy if it comes down on a kitten so you have to be very quick but once you know the cat/kitten is focused on the food and not going to steal a chunk and run out.

Great, very helpful! Love the DT! drop trap! Thank you for this wonderful product.

Finally! This is what we have been needing. Now to add an affordable remote control door release for the extra smart cats that won't step on the trip plate.

I like the lock back door. The old style was a Paine . That is why I did not get one on my latest order .

I strongly suggest for tear down: Clip the clips to the sides of the trap. Don’t let them dangle. If you let them dangle, they will clip to the trap on their own but in all the wrong places, and you will need to pry them apart next time you go to set your trap. This can get extremely difficult if not impossible to accomplish without a pair of pliers. If your finger gets stuck, it hurts bad. And with a colony of cats watching… never again!

Saving up to get one of these, I have used one in the past thanks to a volunteer that does this as a volunteer to help the feral cat communities for injured or feral cats that need to be TNR'd or vetted. It is a 100 percent success rate when used properly to capture a family of cats, or hard-to-capture cats. I have had to call him many times as my live trap does not work near as well. I have been active in the TNR and Feral cat community for over 10 years now. This is one amazing product any Feral cat colony takers or rescues need in their lives. I am so grateful they are still available. They are pricey but so worth it. Well worth investing in. A few more months I hope to have enough to purchase one myself.

Thanks for this excellent presentation. I have borrowed this drop trap from someone who didn't know what the extra grid was for, so I didn't utilize it. One kitty was so big and rambunctious he was able to move that trap 3 feet to the edge of the concrete thereby creating a gap at the uneven surface from concrete pad to grass that could have been his escape. Now I know to use that weight grid as an anchor.

I hope he was released okay???

The trays are a little too big as you have to tilt it to get it out and litter gets spilled. They should make the boxes not as wide so they can slide out straight.

Best drop trap demo online!

😃😃😃👍👍👍👌

just make sure not to pinch teeth into the hook with pliers, cause then it'll grip more and be hard to trigger

You know how many videos i had to watch until i seen this video thank you

I got this for a stray cat I wasn’t able to trap any other way in my backyard. It did have a few hiccups, but if you practice you can balance the trap right on the edge of the rod that retracts. Be sure to keep holding the remote trigger down. If you only quickly pull the trigger, it will only retract halfway. You have to keep pressure on the trigger to keep the rod pulling back to drop the trap. I was absolutely thrilled to get this poor guy inside with us!

How much rate

😊👌👌👌❣️

FANTASTIC 😍👌👏👏👏❣️

Unfortunately the rod on the receiver slips off too much from the welded rod propping up the trap when I try to use it. The moments I do get it to not slip the receiver won’t retract. This works well with single traps but just not reliable with drop traps.

Thank you for making this video, I found it very helpful in adjusting my trap. 🐱

I asked a DEC official how to get rid of snapping turtles. I expected a long, drawn-out explanation. He just looked at me and said: "12 gauge slug". Yup. That'll do it.

Por favor seria tan amable de pasarme la media de la jaula trampa gracias

This is great. Need to order this and the round ones. I have a colony of 40 cats so constantly trapping. And mine are the ones that are heavy metal door your fingers get caught in there. Uggg this and the round one look great

Donde pudo conpralo

Muy bueno

What is that be gained by raising or lowering the trigger ramp?

what size is it please ?

Has worked great for me. I can usually catch an interloper/troublemaker into this small feral cat community at will within hours. I've only used it a few times over 3 years. Still works fine. Allows me to catch the one that I want without having to catch and release any of the existing colony members.

what a load of shit

Thank you for letting him go.

what's the overall height from the tip of the trap to the bottom where the hawk would be? thanks

I forgot to mention I was going to keep the cat in my house permanently after her vet visit.

These drop traps work great for catching a cat but unfortunately my cat would not move from the drop trap into the transfer cage. I watched several videos on this and tried everything including prodding her with a small stick to make her go into the transfer cage. Finally I put on some gloves and put my hand under the cage and tried to push her into the transfer cage which I know is not recommended but she would not go in it. We accidentally raised the drop trap up too high and she escaped. Now I don’t know if she will ever come back. I wasn’t doing trap neuter return. I’ve become very attached to this cat and was taking her to the vet to get spayed and her shots and for FIV / FELV testing, flea worm treatment but now I don’t know if she’ll ever come back and if she does if she’ll go back under a trap. Even if she does come back and I am able to catch her in the drop trap I may still not be able to get her in the transfer cage. I am so disappointed this didn’t work out.

I want one big enough for a coon or possum and still be able to catch a squirrel - which model do I need? Thanks

I want one bid enough for a coon or possum and still be able to catch a squirrel - which model do I need? Thanks

Sound low, music too too loud and crap, get rid of the music, not needed, we just need to learn about the traps
