Our TrapMan team just love it when the camera comes out, they disappear out of sight! All credit to them though they have been working hard to get our Single Catch Larsen Traps back in stock for you.

With one top entry catching compartment and one large decoy compartment our Single Larsen Traps have been very successful this year.

Smaller than its sibling the Centre Decoy, our Single Larsen Traps are easy to assemble and disassemble if you wanted to store it away for winter.

Here we have it, 200 Water Vole Traps ready to go. I would like to say it has been a labour of love but after hand clipping 7000 clips we, here at TrapMan, were happy to wave them off.

These traps will be used in the conservation of Water Voles (arvicla amphibius) in the UK. Working to a customers design and following licencing guidelines on the trapping of these wonderful animals, who sadly are on the endangered species list.

It has been a great project to be a part of but we won’t lie to you, we are happy to see the back of them! We do wish our customer all the best in their conservation work.

Here is the Proof

One of our customers reached out to us with this great picture after he had received his order of one of our Multi catch grey Squirrel Traps. Baited with peanuts underneath the trap at 7pm in the evening, by morning he had caught one squirrel. By the following evening he had caught two more, what a success!

Our Multi catch grey Squirrel Traps have twin entrances and two lifting handles to save your fingers from being bitten. Our multi catch grey squirrel traps are already set, easy to place, bait and are self re-setting, so no need for you to set the trap, for the uninitiated they come with link to online instructions and as with all our traps we will always help via email, text or phone.

Watch us Hard at Work

Today we’ve had a lesson in how to use a tool until the very last inch of its life. That’s right it has been all hands on deck this week even the boss has been on the shop floor! He’s been using a grinder until the disc was silky smooth to get the most out of it, we suspect he even double dips tea bags.

On a more serious note, here at TrapMan we pride ourselves on quality. We work tirelessly to ensure we are making the best products for you.

As you can see we are using our own clips and tools to hand clip treadles onto one of our projects. Yes its time consuming but we do this to ensure our products are well made and built to last.

Oh what a week! Despite the bank holiday we have still be working really hard on some new projects.

Built to a customers specification with a little Trapman stamp to them, these traps are to be used in the conservation of Water Voles (arvicla amphibius). Water Voles are an endangered species and are fully protected under section 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

These Water Vole Traps have a small harborage at the back of the trap for some nesting materials to keep the Water Vole warm. It has been an enjoyable projects for us at TrapMan.

We Forgot to Update You

We’ve been so busy here at TrapMan we forgot to update you on our Fox Traps. We redesigned the slide assembly and added some self explanatory fastenings to make building our trap up even easier.

We have tested our newest member of staff on how to put them together, she passed the test with flying colours. We think it was our new photo setting instructions that made assembly too easy for her.

Our TrapMan Fox Traps have a guillotine style free fall door to utilize the full length of the trap. See more information below;

TrapMan Cat Basket

Our Cat baskets have got the zoomies – they’re zooming out of the door! These baskets have been the most popular item this week.

Manufactured from heavy duty square wire mesh with an electro plated coat for a longer lasting non peeling finish.

Our Cat Baskets open from the top with a bar and eye fastener for a secure close and two handles on the top for easy carrying.
