Thread: Best traps for rats etc

Hello to you all. I am a trapper, so far possums, rats, mice, hedgehogs. I am new to this site thanks to one of your long time members, time out. I am here to learn and to same our birds.
I import rat and mouse traps from direct from American manufacturers and also buy traps direct from NZ manufacturers.
The SA2 by Steve Allan is mostly stainless steel, and is NAWAC approved for possums and feral cats. This trap is so strong, you can stand on it with no affect.
I import the Victor wooden base trap M326, direct from the USA factory, and will have more in stock in a couple of weeks.
I also use and sell the NZ designed and made Envirotool line of D-Rat and Flipping Timmy. Both are used for vertical trapping, and easily mount to a tree or post using screws included with the trap. I LOVE these traps. Well designed and very well made in NZ.
The D-Rat is NAWAC approved. It has a hood that flips up for baiting, down over the trap to make sure the rat or mouse puts its head in the right position, like Sore Head Stoat mentioned with the Victor in a tunnel. These are made of stainless steel and quality plastic.
The Flipping Timmy screws to a post or tree with screws. It has a hinge between the base that attached to the tree and the yellow shell. You can bait and set in under a minute. All stainless, except the spring is coated zinc.
I am wellie.yank on TM and www.deadrat.co.nz
My prices are good, and I am trapping to save our birds!!
