Traps - by Animal

If you have a vermin problem and want to know what traps are available, then you should start here.

All spring traps legal for use in the UK must be tested and Approved by DEFRA and their specialist agencies.  Using a trap which is Approved is only half the story – not only must it be made by the named manufacturer, it also can only be used for the listed species and only used in the stated way.

With the implementation of the Wildlife Management & Muirburn (Scotland) Act 2024, attending an approved training course and gaining accreditation will soon be required for anyone intending to use these specific traps in Scotland. Exact date TBC.

A trap might look strong enough to you, but if it’s not Approved for your target species it’s not legal to use.  You can read more about the Spring Trap Approval Order in this article.

We’ve arranged traps by species to make it easier to buy the ones that you need.
