Spring Trap Tunnels |
Tunnel for a ‘Fenn’ trap |
Other Spring Trap Boxes |
|
This is a ‘Rat Box’ made from a design in The Smallholders DIY By Michael Roberts, a book from the Gold Cockerel Series. I’ve found these very useful for situations where you want the Fenn spring trap completely contained and transportable. The lids on these can be adapted to make them lockable which is a very reassuring if you have children around. |

This is a ‘half tunnel’ suitable for using baited rather than as a run through. The back of the box is usually sealed but I have left it off this one to show how the Fenn trap sits between the jump rails. This helps to make the kill quick, clean and humane. |

This is another Michael Roberts design and is a practical answer to the problem of using Fenn traps mounted off the ground. This trap uses a vertical tunnel mounted on the tree trunk with a trap chamber only accessible from inside the tunnel. Effective, safe and inconspicuous.
The plans for this trap are an addition to the 5th edition of Michael’s book, ‘Modern Vermin Control’. |
