Comments and Feedback from people who

have bought and used the book.

I thought the book was very good. It has taken the guesswork out of a lot of trap building. My son and brother are both game keepers so I am inundated with orders at the moment. Many 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.

“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.”

Thanks”

“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.”

The book has been very well put together with detailed plans and instructions for making a number of traps, including:

The See-Saw Trap

'All Mesh' box traps

The Rabbit Drop Box

The Larsen Trap

The Pigeon Trap

Large Cage Bird Traps

There are also sections on spring trap tunnels and lots of other information about traps.

I was especially impressed with the information about how to make cage traps.

All the plans are easy to follow, and I happen to know that John carefully 'road-tested' all the plans using volunteers before he published.

In addition to the book, there is a companion website, which provides support to the would be trap maker and offers some of the harder to find bits and pieces you may need.

This book will become a 'must have' for every pest controller, professional or otherwise, and I can highly recommend it.
