This auction for a complete trap box with a combo zinc coated mechanism with a stainless steel treadle plate. This trap is designed to eradicate rats, stoats and hedgehogs.

The box has a trap mechanism (a DOC200 style trap) fixed permanently in the bottom of it which is especially designed with tunnels to channel the targeted species through holes in mesh and only allows entry of certain sized mustelids; and stops the entry of non targeted species such as kiwi as well as protecting the public.

The box is made from H4 treated timber and has galvanised mesh and nails and stainless steel screws. It is designed to last a very long time in wet conditions.

It also has a safety warning on the box lid.

Comes with safety catch (1 safety catch per 10 x traps).

For safety, setting and maintenance instructions for the DOC200 style traps, see the following Department of Conservation video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kABskKb1NzE

These traps are one of the most humane ways of getting rid of these predators. Live traps are all well and good, however once captured, the predators must be killed humanely so why not get a trap (such as this one) that does this for you? NB: Drowing animals is a crime under the Animal Welfare Act in New Zealand.
