Animal Traps
Live animal traps are available at the Little Elm Animal Shelter on an 'as-available' basis. Call 972-377-1898 to check trap availability.
A refundable deposit of $70 cash only, is required. If the trap is returned within the agreed-upon return date and not damaged, the deposit will be returned to you.
Baited Traps
Traps are generally used to catch nuisance animals, such as opossums and armadillos that are destroying yards and other property. Due to Little Elm's proximity to the lake and other rural areas, a large variety of other animals such as skunks, squirrels, dogs, cats, and many more will be attracted to a baited trap.
A baited trap will almost always catch something, but not necessarily the animal you intended.
