Elgeeco Squirrel Trap and Bird Feeder

Description

We have always recommended that a well set, legal, lethal spring trap is the most effective, efficient and humane way to control squirrels.  However in some circumstances this is just not possible.  In areas where Red Squirrels may be present or where Pine Martens are spreading a cage trap is the only viable option.

We are delighted to be able to offer genuine Elgeeco traps of this innovative and highly effective design.

• The Elgeeco Squirrel Trap and Bird Feeder is a live catch Squirrel Trap which can also be used as a squirrel proof bird feeder when the door is shut.
• Grey Squirrels are attracted to the trap when they see birds enter to feed from the feeder and freely leave through the bars.
• The trap is safe to use and easy to set by simply placing the door ring onto the trigger-rod.
• Squirrels hang down into the cage to access the feeder and when they press the treadle, the door closes.
• The Trap cage measures 40 x 22 x 22 cm approx. and the weight 1.1 kg.
• The square mesh is made to order using 2.0 mm steel wire with 31 mm bar spacing and 29 mm clear holes that allows small birds, such as tits and finches, to enter and leave easily without feeling confined.
• The cage is fully welded for strength and rigidity and zinc plated after manufacture to provide weather protection and a quality finish.
• Single catch top entrance with self closing and self locking spring loaded door.
• A separate hinged downward opening floor door, held shut with a locking pin, is provided for removing animals.
• A strong carrying handle is provided

Cage traps carry an even greater responsibility for the user because no animal must be caught and left to die in a cage trap – whether the intended target or an accidental catch.  This is a far worse death than any spring trap.  What is more the user must be prepared to deal with the animals caught and dispatch any target species in an efficient and humane manner, with minimum distress the the captive.
