A live-capture program holds three working layers. The traps from the Magnet Trap range cover the species the council program flags; Mini Myna Magnet Trap for Indian Myna work, Pigeon Magnet Trap for feral pigeons, Sparrow Magnet Trap for introduced sparrows, and the vertebrate-side range (Fox, Rabbit, Possum & Cat) where regional council programs extend coverage. The dispatching pathway runs through the Magnet CO2 Dispatching Kit and the CO2 canister reorder cycle. The accessories hold the holding-period rotation: feeders and drinkers for water and food provision through the welfare-required holding window, transport-and-storage bags for repeat deployment across the round, and replacement valves and springs for the trap consumable cycle. A council program round of six to twelve sites typically rotates the trap fleet weekly, dispatches captured birds at a central documentation point, and reorders accessories and CO2 canisters monthly through the program duration.

The Magnet Trap signature range is built around the welfare-compliant live-capture frame from the trap construction up. Each trap carries a one-way entrance sized for the target species (mynas, pigeons, and sparrows enter the small-bird traps; foxes, rabbits, possums and cats use the larger vertebrate traps). The holding chamber is sized to species welfare standards with adequate space for movement and natural posture. Each trap pairs with feeders for grain or food provision and drinkers for water provision through the holding period; welfare frameworks across every Australian state require both during any period the bird is held. The Magnet CO2 Dispatching Kit is the welfare-compliant endpoint: the held bird transfers into a sealed dispatching chamber, CO2 displaces oxygen, the bird loses consciousness within seconds and dispatches without distress. Pest IT supplies the operating protocol state by state.

Animal welfare frameworks across Australia limit how long a captured bird can be held without inspection. The typical maximum is 24 hours; some state frameworks (Animal Welfare Act 1992 ACT, Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 QLD, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 NSW) shorten that to 12 hours under specific conditions. Holding chambers must provide water and food throughout; drinkers and feeders are not optional accessories under the welfare frame. Native species inadvertently captured release immediately under welfare protocol with documentation for the council program record. The dispatching pathway runs as soon as the inspection-and-disambiguation step closes; CO2 dispatching is the welfare-compliant endpoint. Pest IT supplies the operating discipline at pestie-pocket depth.

A council bird trapping program runs through five phases: site survey and species identification, trap deployment across the round, welfare-compliant holding and dispatching, removal-and-cleanup adjacency, and program-close documentation. Each phase produces records the council expects to see at close; site maps, species-by-site capture counts, dispatching dates and methods, welfare-protocol compliance notes, and any native-species release-with-documentation events. Pest IT supplies the rollup format for asset-manager and group-level reporting and the procurement framework state by state; RFQ pattern, welfare requirements, documentation cadence, reporting standards.

Removal-and-cleanup is the often-overlooked phase that comes after the trapping work closes. A roosting site that had carried mynas for years carries dropping accumulation, mite populations, and physical damage that doesn't dissipate when the birds are removed. Pest IT's Bug Vac (Thermo-Bug pathway, 16-VACOMEGA) is the HEPA-filtered cleanup pathway for high-volume bird gathering points; carparks, fruit production sheds, food premises loading docks. The Bug Vac bundles into the Thermo-Bug Room Heater Kit on the bed-bug-and-heat-treatment-systems collection; for stand-alone bird-cleanup procurement, the Bug Vac sits in the Thermo-Bug range as a separate-component purchase. Bird Management Catalogue holds the wider cleanup conversation alongside deterrence, exclusion, and laser work.

Yes. The Magnet Trap range is built around shared construction logic across six species: Mini Myna Magnet Trap, Pigeon Magnet Trap, Sparrow Magnet Trap (the small-bird tier), and Fox, Rabbit, Possum & Cat (the vertebrate tier). The accessories; CO2 dispatching, feeders, drinkers, storage; are shared across the range. A council program funded around Indian Myna will often pick up pigeon and sparrow work at the same sites without requiring a separate procurement; regional council programs extend to fox and rabbit at the precinct edge. The Magnet Trap collection holds the brand-as-system view across the full range.
