You can fix that problem. Just make a bigger door. And fix the bait better....

Huntsman22, I understand where your coming from, I usually don't give cats much grace. This was at my exwife's place when she was my girlfriend. At the time she was a feral cat magnet. That all changed when they tore into the groceries in the back of my truck. Unbeknownst to feline outlaws, the owner of the truck carried a 12 gauge behind the seat. What followed went down as the Laborcita canyon cat massacre. Except for one cat who wasn't at the scene of the crime, behaved much more like a dog, was well liked and enjoyed the company of people but not in a nuisance kind of way. He was the one I didn't want to trap out. Yet this skunk wandered in there.

Works and other critters like cats can not reach in accidentally setting off the trap.
Why would it matter if cats could reach it? That trap should handle a cat.

Around the farm we have a ton of mice...they love the grain trucks and combine..with the new electronics and computers mice can cost you a fortune....we use something called fresh cab...they hate the smell of it and will leave...I works...you will never be able to trap or kill enough to put small dent in the number of mice in a field...

Hunting buddy had parka squirrels invade his cab while we were in moose camp last year... packed mushrooms in the air cleaner, hot dogs in a separate nook, used TP in another, and every manner of flora everywhere else. It took hours to clean all the stuff out...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I still grin when I remember the radio show The Car Show. A caller said dog kibble blew out of heater duct when they turned it on... that is a rodent hard at work!
In S. Az packrats are the bane. They love to chew plastic and wiring in our vehicles. Can't trap them fast enough. Gopher bait, which is poisoned seeds seems to help protect vehicle. Placed in indentations on air filter housing or other holding spots.
. Havahart traps which I call delayed death traps are set all the time. GWPs love dispatching them.
Will have to try the Irish spring soap.

I use a .17 caliber rifle myself. Ricochets being what they are and all. Is that the same as “tree barking them” with a black powder muzzle loader?
Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
