They also carry rabies. They can rip apart a cheap live trap too. I went with the one I bought because I don’t have to get my hands close to open the door to let it out, somewhere else.
My trap has a metal shield where the handle on top is, like most big live traps. It has been a great trap for about 20 years now. Sure helps me to humanely keep a lid on our abundant wildlife. đ đŋī¸đĻđĻĢđĻđ (have caught: squirrels,possum,groundhog,raccoon,cats).
