I designed the Improved See-saw Trap to make it more practical to use. The dimensions and mechanism are similar to the traditional one, but this design includes a release door and a removable lid with a wire mesh inner.
These traps were purpose built from good quality plywood making a clean and efficient modern trap.
These photographs illustrate the improvements.

- The lid pivots to allow you to see inside while the inner mesh prevents any escapes. This additional visibility is essential to identify catches and release or dispatch them humanely.
-
- The sliding end door allows you to release non-target species quickly and easily with minimum distress.
