 TOMAHAWK RIGID DOUBLE DOOR LIVE TRAPSTomahawk's Double Door Live Traps feature the same sturdy frame that Tomahawk uses for its single door live traps. They feature the same heavy duty, galvanized 12, 14, or 16 gauge steel wire mesh frame with reinforcing steel rods that contribute to a sturdy, yet lightweight frame. The only difference between Tomahawk's single and double door live traps is simply the number of trap doors. Tomahawk's double door traps feature two spring-loaded, automatic locking V-doors, that make trapping even the quickest and most cautious animals easy. And, most of Tomahawk's double door live traps come equipped with adjustable trigger release mechanisms for light or heavy sets. Tomahawk's double door traps have no wires or doors to obstruct the animals view, so even the most suspicious animal will enter the trap with confidence. Plus, animals can enter from either end of a Tomahawk double door trap, which may ultimately double your chances of catching an animal. When an animal triggers the trip pan located in the middle of the trap, both spring loaded, V-doors simultaneously spring shut, lock into place, and trap the animal safely and securely inside. Another nice feature of Tomahawk's double door live traps is that the traps can be set as single door sets. If the trapper encounters a situation were setting both trap doors is not the optimal method, one trap door may be set, while the other, rear trap door may remain down. The animal will enter the trap, step onto the trip pan, and the front door will close and lock behind the animal. DOUBLE DOOR TRAPPING TIPS Trap placement is very important when it comes to trapping animals with double door traps. Place the trap over the pilot hole dug by the animal, after the hole has been covered. One of the best trapping methods to use, is the Funnel or Drift Method. It works well with armadillo, raccoon, and opossum. Try to place the trap against a building, and place a 2 inch by 6 inch board, at one end of the trap and angle it away from the trap’s entrance. Do the same thing to the other end of the trap, making sure to angle the 2 inch by 6 inch board away from the trap’s entrance. The animals will follow the boards right into the trap. Be careful not to block the trap doors from closing with the boards. Another variation for double door trapping is to use four boards, placing one board at each edge of the trap, and then angling them away from the trap. Bait the trap with the desired bait, use rotten cabbage and broccolli for armadillo. Leave the trap set for 7-10 days, making sure to check it daily. After trapping your first animal, place the trap back into its original location because the smell from the first animal will attract a second. Remember: it is very important to use existing buildings, rock walls or natural settings to create a familiar illusion to the animal. Animals like to follow the path of least resistance, just like humans do. These double door trapping tips were supplied to Tomahawk Live Trap by nuisance wildlife trapper, Gary Depalma of Leesburg Florida, who traps several armadillo daily, using Tomahawk Armadillo Special Model 108.7. |
