The Possum and Cat Magnet handles both feral cat management and possum management in a single heavy-duty collapsible unit. At 6kg, it is substantially heavier than the 2kg typical for imported alternatives: the same construction quality principle that defines the Fox Magnet. For feral cats: capture and humane dispatch. Feral cats are an introduced species contributing to the decline of native birds, mammals, and amphibians. Cage trapping provides a targeted, humane capture method for pest managers and agribusiness operators. For possums: capture and release only. Possums are protected native wildlife in all Australian states and territories. A permit is required in most states. Trapped possums must be released on the same property within 50 metres of the capture point, after sunset. Relocation to another site is illegal. In QLD, WA, and NT, trapping must be carried out by or under the supervision of a licensed wildlife controller. Collapsible for vehicle transport. The Mini Myna Magnet Storage Bag also fits the Possum and Cat Magnet. Monitor all traps daily. Captured animals must have access to food and water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magnet Trap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45667161735367,"sku":"07-Trap15","price":163.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2819\/2967\/files\/the-possum-cat-magnet-trap-the-cat-magnet-trap-hero_2ba7c23b-99c1-47f0-aa9d-2604d72169a2.png?v=1773557151"},{"product_id":"minkpolice-x-trap-sensor","title":"MinkPolice X Trap Sensor","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinkPolice X is a GSM-based digital trap sensor that delivers an immediate SMS and email alert the moment a trap activates. One sensor platform across bird traps, rodent stations, and vertebrate cages regardless of brand. Retrofits onto any trap with a door or trigger mechanism. The pest manager attends when there is activity and responds faster, because the alert fires the moment the trap closes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor pest managers running large trap programs across commercial, food processing, rural, or government sites, MinkPolice X converts a time-based inspection schedule into an event-triggered response. On a 40-station footprint across a warehouse perimeter, that means the difference between checking every station on a fixed calendar and only attending when something has happened. More sites serviced per day from the same labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor live-capture trapping programs, MinkPolice X provides the animal welfare compliance layer. Minimising the time an animal spends confined after capture is both an ethical obligation and, in many jurisdictions, a legal one. The alert fires the moment the trap closes. Response time is as fast as the pest manager can get to site. The communication log provides timestamped documentation that satisfies animal welfare audit requirements for government, council, and NRM contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP67 waterproof. Rated to 1 metre. GSM connectivity optimised for weak signal areas where phone calls and standard SMS fail. 4 x AA Lithium batteries last up to one year with two daily status messages. Battery level monitored remotely with an alert before critical depletion. Olive green housing for field use. Each unit registered to an authorised user in the MinkPolice online portal. A stolen unit cannot be re-registered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe online portal provides a single view of all traps across all sites. Current status, alert preferences, contact management, and a full communication log per device: battery status, temperature, signal strength, and every server contact event with timestamps. For HACCP, food safety, or animal welfare audits, the log provides documented evidence of monitoring activity without manual data entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally developed in the Netherlands for mink trapping, MinkPolice X is now used across bird, rodent, and vertebrate trapping programs in Australia.

The pointed spikes discourage animals from crossing or perching on the treated surface. Available in Black, Grey, and Brown to match the fence or building material. 5.4m per carton (12 x 450mm sections). Possums are protected native wildlife under legislation in every Australian state and territory. AvePro Possum Spikes are a humane deterrent only. They discourage possums from using a specific surface as a travel route. They do not trap or harm possums. If possums have established a den inside a roof cavity or building, that is a separate issue requiring a licensed wildlife handler. For residential properties, Possum Spikes are often installed as much for cat exclusion from gardens as for possum management. The product handles both on the same fence line. Choose the colour closest to the surface: Black for dark timber and metal, Grey for concrete and render, Brown for natural timber palings. Homeowner installable. Apply AvePro Bond adhesive to the underside of each section and press to the surface. Screw fixing is also available for timber surfaces.

Supplied in two standard widths (500mm and 1000mm) and the full Colourbond colour range. Custom made to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product addresses access points that surface deterrent systems are not designed for. Box gutters, enclosed cavities, and fascia gaps are spaces where spikes, BirdWire, and Shock Track do not apply because the pest is entering a void, not landing on a surface. Poly Mesh blocks that access with a rigid physical barrier. On a commercial building with bird pressure on the ledges and rodent or possum access via the gutter line, Poly Mesh handles the gutter and cavity exclusion while surface deterrent products handle the ledges. One installation visit. Multiple access points addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColourbond colour matching means the mesh is fabricated to match the existing roof, gutter, and fascia specification. Once installed, it is essentially invisible against the building envelope. For building managers, architects, and asset managers on premium commercial buildings, colour-matched exclusion meets the brief where visible hardware has been rejected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoly Mesh also functions as a leaf guard. A commercial box gutter fitted with Poly Mesh stays clear of leaf debris, reducing gutter maintenance cost and water damage risk from blockages. The pest manager who presents Poly Mesh as solving pest exclusion and gutter maintenance from a single installation has a stronger commercial proposition for the building owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossums are protected native wildlife. Exclusion of possums from roof voids and cavities must comply with state and territory wildlife requirements and may require a permit.
