The Safeguard Universal Trap model 53000 is designed for burrowing animals such as woodchucks, opossums, skunks and similar sized animals. It has a built-in nosecone (opening in the bottom of the trap) which allows it to be placed directly over an animal’s burrow. It can also be flush mounted against an opening in a structure using the sliding front door. And, it can be used as a traditional baited trap.
When placed over burrows this trap provides a 100% positive capture of target animal. Universal in the fact you can close the sliding end door and set the trap over a burrow. The critter will enter the trap through the bottom opening making the set near fool-proof.
This truly "universal" trap also has a sliding rear door feature for easy release and features heavy duty construction throughout!
