Direction for use

Whether trapping birds or animals, we advise users to be mindful of their legal obligations to comply with The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and to ensure that captured animals do not suffer.

Position traps away from natural or man-made hazards and areas prone to flooding.
It is good practice to check cage traps regularly for catches. Remove traps that can not be regularly checked.
Remember: the welfare of all captured animals becomes the responsibility of the captor.
For live releases: transport animals at least 3 miles from catch-site and release into a natural environment away from any obvious and immediate risk of danger or predators. Ensure there are adequate sources of food and shelter available nearby.
