How To Assemble A Live Animal Trap

Here is an example of how to assemble one of Ranger Daves live animal traps. These are the perfect sized trap for raccoon's, possums, stray cats and other large size critters.

I just received my trap, and had no idea where the two long pieces of metal went. Your video was very descriptive, and the pictures were great. I could not have done it without you. Thanks.

God bless you! You just saved me many hours of unnecessary frustration. Seeing is much better than the enclosed instructions. Thank you very much.

You just saved me hours of reading the useless paper directions. Thank you.

Thank you! Took me the last 30 minutes googling and trying to figure this out… the videos by the companies are not easy to see what they are doing. Yours was perfect

Great instructions. Put mine together following you. Appreciate you!

The newer model is a bit different, but this still helped 😊

You need to thread the straight part of the reinforcement for the back door through the little metal clips near the bottom of the trap. The hook should be closer to the middle/upper part of the back door. She put this piece upside down and I imagine that the door could easily be manipulated by the animal and pulled into the trap, allowing for release.

I know she said to thread them through, but since it is upside down that could confuse some people because the hook portion can not be threaded through the rings.

I purchased this trap on eBay and it arrived today. It's a great value for $30. I trap feral cats, and have several kinds of Humane Traps from cheap to very expensive. This trap is not bad. It lacks the small round clips that hold the part that attaches to the plate in place, but you can make them using a piece of wire. It has an open back (great option) which comes with a piece of metal to hold shut, but I recommend using a clip like on a dog leash to secure the back door. Again, I found this trap to be a good value.

Thank you! Such a simple and to the point video! Xx

Thank you, I received my trap but didn't know how to set it. The instructions manual wasn't clear

Got mine from Harbor freight same size for $30. It came with the trap rod attached with two small rings to hold the rod close to the side of the trap. Catching possums that live under my house works great.

Thanks, I just bought a similar one and it helped me setting up the trap.

Thank you for this. I had such trouble but this made it easy.

The U shape wire for backdoor should put through （the straight part） the two rings at backdoor. And the hook part should hook the wall side wire.
The trigger wire’s hook should be turned downside to hook the trigger.

How do you adjust the sensitivity? I need to catch very small kittens. They’ve gone in a couple times but don’t weigh enough to activate the trap door.

I have this trap and it appears to be built well, and although her trap should work, as others have said she put multiple things together wrong.

sure it's easy when you know thanks 👍
