Thread: Bird Predator Control

Great work @Sparrow - getting the kids involved is great - I love the picture of your Son with the straw in his mouth - the family will love that picture forever!
So good to see the cats and mustilids coming out - all destructive animals and this is the time of the year to get them before the birdlife is nesting
Looks like the Trapinator is a lethal tool - so much better than the Possum Master - steel around their neck is more humane than a piece of string to strangle them
My Mate was showing me how to rebait and reset a Possum master a couple of weeks back (he has been operating about 30 of them) - nicely reset and turned the safety off - he bent down to put flour around the tree trunk and the bastard thing tripped and the handle hit him between the eyes - ironically the next one he checked did the same thing but didn’t hit him - it might have been the rain on the trip mechanism
I hate using the Warrior traps - even though the steel safety frame makes them safe to work on - I don’t like putting my hand in there - the sharp steep jaws must be a very rapid death - give me a Sentinel every time!
If anyone wants to read a great test report on all types of possum and ferret traps - this document has to be the best -
