This is a muskrat colony trap, sometimes called a submarine trap as it is meant to be submerged in a muskrats runway or den entrance. The colony trap is designed for multiple capture and has a passive door on each end of the trap. There is a handle located in the center of the trap which holds the trap in a rigid square shape as well as facilitates easy carrying. This trap is constructed of 1" x 1" galvanized wire mesh and measures 28"L x 5"W x 5"H.
When the handle is removed from inside the trap the entire trap folds flat
for easy carrying and storage.
If this trap is located in shallow water it can be used as a live capture device,
however locating it in deeper water such that the top of the trap is below the waters
surface makes this trap lethal. Muskrats simply swim through the passive door, which
then closes behind them and they are unable to leave. Multiple
capture with this trap are common.
