Tomahawk Live Trap Reviews

Our satisfied customers have found Tomahawk Live Trap solutions to be remarkably effective and user-friendly, as evidenced by the following reviews

I’ve been doing TNR work for 5 years and finally found the perfect trap. The Tomahawk TNR Series 36x36x14 collapsible drop trap is a game changer. It sets up in under a minute, is super sturdy, and the cats stay completely calm inside. I caught 12 community cats in one weekend without any stress or escapes. Worth every penny!
Emily Thompson
As a wildlife removal specialist, I use Tomahawk traps exclusively. The 32x10x12 rigid trap for raccoons is incredibly strong and the easy-release door makes my job so much safer. No more bent triggers or broken welds like with other brands. These traps have lasted me over 3 years of daily use in all weather conditions.
Sarah Rodriguez
I needed a reliable live trap for occasional skunk and feral cat issues around my property. The Original Series 26x9x9 worked perfectly on my first try. The animal was calm, the release was smooth, and the build quality feels professional. I feel confident using it knowing it’s made in the USA and designed with care.
