Duke Traps 0420 Body Gripping Trap 7 Inch Jaw Spread

Product Description

The DUKE TRAPS 0420 is a steel body gripping trap designed to quickly catch and dispatch wild animals. With a 7-inch jaw spread, this rotating-jaw design delivers consistent, reliable performance in demanding field conditions. The trap is suited for targeting mid-sized animals including fisher, groundhog, and raccoon. Licensed trappers and wildlife control professionals rely on this style of trap for its mechanical simplicity, durability, and effectiveness across a range of terrain and weather conditions. At 2.267 pounds, it is lightweight enough for pack-in sets while still providing the holding strength required for the target species.

This body gripping trap is used in residential, agricultural, and wildland settings where nuisance animal control or trapping is required. It is commonly deployed at den entrances, along travel corridors, and at culvert openings where target species are known to pass. Wildlife control operators, licensed trappers, and pest management professionals are the primary installers. The 7-inch jaw spread makes it appropriate for animals in the size range of groundhog, raccoon, mink, and fisher.

Installation Notes

Body gripping traps should be set only by licensed trappers or trained wildlife control professionals familiar with applicable state and local trapping regulations. Always use a proper trap-setting tool to compress and lock the jaws safely — never set by hand. Place the trap in a location that minimizes non-target catch risk and secure it with a stake or anchor wire to prevent loss. Check traps at the intervals required by local law.
