How to catch a wild animal with a snare pole?
The horrid feeling when you wake up one bright day only to realize your house is now occupied by animals as well, and not just any animals but wild animals, is indescribable. No matter how small or big a wild animal is, its mere presence is enough to shake up the whole house. When you are in such a situation, it is only natural to think about how to solve it. One such way to stop these wild animals from disrupting any part of your property is to catch them by using snare poles. This pole is one of the many ways you can catch the animal and then relocate it later. It is used specifically for larger animals that are difficult to get a hold of. It is a safe way to capture the animal while protecting yourself and the animal.

Snare pole
A snare pole is a long pole that is made of a special material that is safe and lightweight. It has a looped cord on one end of the pole which is specifically designed to catch the animal without causing any harm or injury. Its main purpose is to hamper its movement and keep it there and not hurt it in any way whatsoever.

Snare poles are very effective in capturing the animal, especially wild animals who are very hard to control and manage. They can get very rowdy and, in this state, can also attack you which is why it is best to maintain some distance. Wild animals carry a lot of dangerous diseases that can spread very quickly, especially if you are nearby, which makes this option even better. Not only can they spread many different diseases to you but also the things around them. Whatever item they touch or get in contact with will automatically be contaminated; the feces, saliva, and urine are equally dangerous and risky. Hence, during this situation, the snare pole offers the best protection.

How to catch a wild animal with a snare pole?
From the explanation above, the snare pole captures the animal by trapping it through a loop around its neck and a leg. The leg also needs to be captured because if you are just looping it around the neck, it could result in serious injury. The steps are mentioned below.

Step 1: To do this, first capture it by throwing the loop around the neck.
Step 2: Then, place the trap on the other side.
Step 3: Next, lift it a bit and then towards the trap.

Important notes
1. It is important to wear safety gloves when you are doing this.
2. Make sure the loop is not very loose or else the animal can escape. Many different kinds of snare poles are available and you can choose whichever one works best. Variations include a snare pole designed specially to protect against wild animal bites. A new edition also features a long snare pole that goes around the back as this avoids any injury or harm whatsoever.

When does it work best?
It is the most effective way to capture any wild animal as long as it is not very small in size. There are times when it works the best depending on the wild animal you are dealing with. Sometimes animals can get stuck in wall cavities too but when you have a snare pole, you can easily get it out without any problems. If you need to get a squirrel that is stuck in either the chimney or the attic, then snare poles are highly effective. Other wild animals can be caught too like:
1. Raccoons
2. Skunks
3. Groundhogs
4. Feral cats
5. Opossums

A snare pole is an effective and safe method to capture an animal and then to relocate it. You can also look up a professional service in case you do not want to relocate it yourself.
