Live Capture Traps and Accessories

Compare live capture traps by dimensions and features

Length alone is not enough for a comparison. The marten trap is listed as 100 × 19 × 24 cm, and the raccoon trap as 100 × 27 × 27 cm. Both have the same length but differ in their other dimensions. The cat trap measures 120 × 19 × 24 cm. Always compare the full product dimensions and the individual design.

Material and inspection access

The box traps have a body made from film-faced panels with a birch substrate. Their features include an aluminium mechanism and a barred inspection hatch. The fox trap also uses this construction. The hatch lets you look inside. Refer to the individual product and its instructions for information on use.

Check what is included with each model

The marten trap includes 25 ml of attractant. Do not assume that other models have the same included items. To compare additional baits, the attractant overview shows different product forms and pack sizes.

Choose the downpipe marten barrier separately

The marten barrier for downpipes is not a live capture trap. It is made from hot-dip galvanised steel, is intended for a pipe diameter of 100 mm and is secured with a wing screw. Before choosing it, check the diameter and the space around your downpipe. Other routes onto the roof need to be considered separately.

Our guide to marten access routes around the house explains how to distinguish climbing routes from possible entry openings.

Before using a trap

Ask the responsible local authority which requirements apply to a trapping operation. This model overview is for comparing products; appropriate use must be established for the specific situation.
