Using Traps To Keep Pests Out Of Your Garden
Animal traps are normally used to catch small, vermin-type creatures that are getting into your garden and are used in reoccurring problem areas to capture nuisance animals. Live animal traps are a humane alternative to other pest control measures and sturdy animal traps are ideal for humanely trapping and relocating wild cats, dogs, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, skunks or other nuisance wildlife. It should also be recognized that animal traps are made in a range of sizes for use in trapping different animals.
There are several different styles of traps and I will mention snap or leg hold traps because they are an option for a desperate garden owner but I will not condone there use and would suggest using live traps instead. Not only are these types of traps banned in most areas, they are also a cruel and inhumane way for any animal to die. Live traps are a much more humane option, especially in urban areas where you may end up with a neighbor’s dog or cat being trapped. Live traps can be baited with fruit, chicken parts, sardines or meat and once caught the offending pest can be released a good distance away from your area. While live trapping can be effective, it can also be quite a chore if you have a lot of pests because you will have to transport each animal to another location and release can be dangerous
