Live Traps

When attempting to monitor and survey the presence and abundance of small animals, using live traps, like the Sherman Small Folding Trap, can be a key method into getting results proven by professional researchers and volunteer surveyors. Something to note is that some small mammal species are protected by law so it’s important to check to see if you need a licence to catch your preferred target.

These small mammal traps should be checked regularly and food, water and bedding provided where possible to help keep the animal calm and safe until it's released.
