Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To assemble the trap from its folded state, pull the side walls upward until they click into the locked position. Secure the door hooks to the tension springs to ensure the gate is ready for deployment.
Compatibility: This unit measures 785 x 254 x 305 mm, making it ideal for medium-sized pests such as martens, raccoons, stray cats, and rabbits. Do not attempt to trap animals that are too large, as this may damage the wire frame or result in an escape.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After each capture, rinse the trap with water and a mild disinfectant to remove scent markers. This encourages new animals to investigate the trap.
- Inspection: Regularly check the hinge points and spring tension. A light application of non-toxic lubricant on the door slides can keep the mechanism operating smoothly.
- Storage: Ensure the trap is completely dry before folding it for storage to prevent any long-term oxidation.
