Animal Traps
Increased urbanization has caused an increase in nuisance animals on residential property. When animals like squirrels enter attics and chew electrical wires or telephone wire this could very hazardous. We have humane, live animal traps for small to large animals. If you want to save you money, you can come into the store and we will rent or sell you a trap and sell you specific bait to catch your target animal. Most animal traps rent for a two week period and you get free consultation based on our years of trapping experience. The follow animal traps are available:
| Type of Pest | Animal Trap Size |

The best feature on these traps is that
the rear door slides up and down to help in the baiting of the trap as
well as the release of the animal. We have used several different traps
and we believe these are the best in the industry and highly recommend
them.Call us at 972-519-0355 for trap prices and rental information.
Animal Trap Bait
Just because you put an animal trap out does not mean that the animal will go in it. By using an attractive bait, we can lure him into the trap. The most common animal pest is the tree squirrel. Peanut butter does not work most of the time. After 5 years of a lot of trial and error, Michael developed two different baits that really catch squirrels fast. Formula 1 is called Pecan Surprise. It is a very nutty odor in a paste base that is good in hot and cold weather. Formula 2 is Loganberry Delight, which has a sweet odor. We have caught a squirrel within 30 minutes after setting the trap. Both of these products are sold in large 6 ounce containers and they will stay fresh for a very long time.
Be Humane to Trapped AnimalsHumane treatment to all animals you catch is very important. Please check with your local animal control department to see if any local laws apply to your target pest animal.
