Get Trapping

Start backyard trapping…

Setting & managing traps can be time consuming, but the rewards are great!
Trapping in your own back yard is a good place to start.

Once you know which predators you’re dealing with, it’s time to select your traps.
All the traps we recommend are humane and meet the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee standards (NAWAC).

Give nature a hand!

Know what pests you are targeting…

Possum eating a bird’s egg.
Rat eating a bird’s egg.
Weasel with a blackbird.

The more you know about the pest you are targeting, the more effective your efforts will be.
