  • Drop top box trap
  • See Saw Trap
  • Rabbit Drop Box
  • Larsen Trap / Magpie Trap
  • Pigeon trap
  • Ladder / Funnel Trap
  • Mesh Cage Traps
  • Fenn Trap Tunnel.

All of the detailed plans work with light weight wire mesh and wood in sizes that are easy to obtain from any timber yard or builders merchant.

  • Softback,  100 pages.

    The book arrived on Tuesday and my dad and I have started by making the drop top trap for rats. I have had no trouble at all making it, the instructions are really easy to follow.
    How did you think of such an ingenious design? If you ever decide to release another book I would love to have a look.

    Hello, just to tell you that I recently bought your Trap Making Step by Step book and found the designs really good and easy to follow. We’ve already made the basic seesaw and have got the wood for a Larsen trap. Congratulations, as it is a really good book, well done! Thanks

    You have caused a great deal of excitement in our small town. For years we have tried to keep the magpies under control and have never found an easy method. Well I built the trap, and we have been catching a magpie a day. Everyone wants to see the trap and it has become quite a topic here in town. I cannot thank you enough for your help.

    I have been meaning to write & say congratulations on a great book, I asked for mine to be sent in time for the weekend even though I bought it on a Wednesday night, and it duly arrived on Friday morning, Not only was I pleased at that, But it is a fantastic book and well done to you for putting it together, I wish you much success with it. Thanks
