Great trap for professionals
By Jesse on 04/07/2013
I've wanted a trap like this forever!! trapping & relocating nuisance animals is a service I offer as a pest control operator. I've been sprayed by skunks, clawed at by raccoon's & have had the back of my truck soiled by urine & fecal matter from animals I'm relocating. This trap solves all of those problems. Pricey? Yes, but worth it to me.

Best trap for raccoons and skunks
By Tony on 09/30/2013
The raccoons tearing up my yard were not deterred by chemical and natural repellents, motion-detection sprinklers and barking dog alarms, and electrical "scat mats." A live-catch steel cage trap caused excessive agitation and allowed raccoons to claw aggressively as the trap was moved. One was even able to bend the cage bars and escape. It also made for unbearable spraying from any skunk that was trapped. The poly trap solved all of those problems immediately. Trapped raccoons remain much calmer while they are being relocated. There is nothing for their claws to grab. Skunk spray is completely confined to the impermeable and seamless trap box, isolating the source of the smell and greatly increasing the effectiveness of neutralizing agents. This is a well-designed, well-made product of exceptional strength and durability. Don't waste you time or money with anything else.

Good design.
By Lee on 11/05/2016
I bought this trap because I'm a hobby farmer chickens and a calf. Making it a regular stop for raccoons, skunks, and opossum. I wanted a trap big enough for raccoon but yet don't want to deal with the smell of the skunk. I knew I had a skunk and that prompted me to make this purchase. 2nd night caught the skunk I could handle the trap with no issues. Now I just leave it set next to the chicken coop to catch any passer bys.

FANTASTIC
By Dr. on 01/28/2014
We LOVE our trap. it is easy to use and keeps everything clean and safe. Raccoon felt safe as he didn't make any noise. Interesting fact: professional trapper has never seen one of those and now he wants to buy few of those too :-)

This is the best trap for raccoons!
By Corrine on 06/16/2016
Great trap!
By Thomas on 07/30/2017
This is very high quality. I have used cage traps in the past. With this trap, the animal can't get at you. And it can't rip up your landscape. You could even use it on a deck or on a rooftop. It would be nice if it were designed to release the animal out the other side. It is hard to get the door open when there is something wild inside of it. You have to use both hands since it is spring loaded. This gets your face a little close to the exit.

Tomahawk 1232 Humane Live Trap
By Jennifer on 02/27/2018
I bought this to trap a feral cat. The cat was initially trapped using a traditional wire trap for the purpose of being sterilized and released. Her spay appointment was not for several days so I released her in a walk-in storage area located upstairs. She gained access to my attic through a small area used to run wires and would not fall for the traditional wire trap a second time. I bought this trap as it looked different. It is extremely sturdy and has plenty of room during temporary confinement. The limited visibility is comforting to an animal that is already afraid. However, caution should be used when using a solid trap in the summer as air flow is more restricted. On the other hand, it provides more warmth than wire models when it is cold. Kittens or small, light-weighted animals may or may not be more challenging to trap using this model depending on their weight, but anywhere a hungry animal finds food without fear, it will return.

The best hard-sided trap out there
By Matt on 11/04/2019
When you need a solid-sided trap that contains a skunk or angry raccoon safely and doubles as a euthanasia chamber for gassing, there really is no alternative. The trigger mechanism is simple and reliable, and can be tweaked a bit to fire for trap-shy animals. Been using this for years and couldn't be happier. For raccoon trapping, this is the size to get. The 924 isn't quite big enough for adult coons.

Trap Review
By Ken on 08/21/2020
I received the trap on time as promised. I set it out the very first night but the raccoon ate the bait and did not Spring the trap. The next night I placed the bait in a bowl making it a little difficult for the raccoon to get to it. So he stood on the platform longer and the door slammed shut. I heard him desperately try to get out but with no success. I took him to the state park and released him. No damage to the trap. This is a GOOD one. Thank you

Amazing trap, MUST buy if you are having problems
By Miguel on 08/27/2017
We have a slight skunk infestation in our backyard (we are trying to grow food back there) and thought it was just one skunk we needed to trap based on late night camera footage. Turns out we are at war with an army of stinkers and so far we caught 4 and have relocated them with no issue. We also caught one beaver and are looking to catch a raccoon who drops by from time to time. We haven't had any problems relocating any of the skunks. Never got sprayed or attacked, it just works.. Just lift the trap vertically, open the door slowly, then place the trap down horizontally in their new home and let them walk out of the trap. If you are on the fence with buying this product don't hesitate. Just put your peanut butter sandwich in the trap and start claiming your space back 1 skunk at a time.. We have 3 more to go then we are skunk free (I hope!)

tomahawk live animal trap
By Andy on 07/05/2019
first of all the trap got here with in days of orders. it took a few minutes to figure how to set it, once i figured that out it was a piece of cake. my next question how to release the animal safely. drilling a hole in the side and placing a nail to hold the locking bar,then the door will swing open freely.i needed to know what i had in the trap so i drilled a 1 inch hole in the top. i'm going to buy more later as trapping seasons get's under way.it lightweight and strong .it will be easy to clean, and the animal can not get a hold on to push the door open.

New tomahawk trap
By Ed on 01/05/2021
Great Trap
By John on 04/08/2022
I have already caught skunks and raccoons. Be aware, animals can reach out slightly under the down so when opening keep your hands or fingers away from the bottom edge of the door if doing alive releases. Also, skunks sometime like to hang out for awhile, if so, leave and come back and they usually will be gone after you open the door. Also, place a stick under the door to keep it open for live releases as the animal can re-trip the door before leaving. Only bad thing is how long it took it get it sent to me.

Excellent live trap for possum/skunk/racoon
By Charles on 06/07/2022
I'm very happy that I got this trap instead of wire cage trap. Since purchase three weeks ago, I have caught possum and skunk. Animals are calm when I transport them to another area. Most importantly, their feces and pee are completely inside the trap. The skunk sprayed while I was transporting it because the trap moved in the trunk. I'm so glad it's a sealed container. It would have been a mess if I was using a wire cage trap.
