Traps and Deterrents For Farmers, Householders, Businesses and Land Management Groups
Australia faces significant challenges from pest and feral animals that cause extensive damage to the natural environment, crops, livestock and property. These invasive species not only threaten livelihoods but also contribute to the extinction of native animals. Australia has the world record for native species extinction for both flora and fauna due largely to hundreds of millions of introduced feral predators that bred up and still thrive on eating native animals and plants.

Commonsense Trapping
You don't have to torture animals to trap them. Pest animal populations can be managed in a manner that minimizes their suffering and respects animal welfare. Humane pest control traps assist with animal welfare even when the pests are causing significant problems.

Preserving Biodiversity
Good traps help protect native species by reducing the impact of invasive feral predators without harming the animals during trapping or causing unnecessary suffering. This is vital in Australia, where native species are already under significant pressure from habitat loss and other environmental changes.

Trap Compliance
Our humane wire cage traps comply with Australian legal standards without compromising on effectiveness. This avoids old inhumane trapping practices and illegal designs, ensuring that you stay within the law while managing feral and pest animals. This also protects you from hefty fines and potential jail time associated with the use of illegal trapping methods.
