EZ Grip traps
Our EZ Grip traps are designed for research-oriented use and have performed strongly in international trap-standard testing.
- The EZ Grip trap scored the highest in recent government tests conducted for international trap standards.
- LPC manufactures the EZ Grip trap in sizes 3 1/2, 4, 7, and 8.
- These traps are used by researchers who want to capture and release animals with minimum foot damage.
- The recessed jaws allow additional rubber inside the jaws to increase absorption of the initial shock.
- The jaw configuration helps prevent animals from removing the rubber with their teeth.
