So I've had some success with the string on the trigger loop, but of course I need to be within a certain distance of the trap so that I can see that they are safely in. Which won't work in a lot of situations. Or in the case of a tiny kitten I was trying to catch, the trap wasn't anchored and pulling the string jerked the trap and scared the kitten rather than triggering the door.
Tomahawk has a remote trigger for around $125 which I considered, but they I found a DIY hack on Youtube which I may try to recreate. The base component is a remote control car door lock and the total cost to build is $30 per the creator. The video is titled "how to build a remote control trap for ferals."
