Live capture trapping is governed by state-by-state animal welfare and biosecurity legislation. Declared pests (foxes, rabbits, feral cats) are managed under POCTA and state biosecurity codes. Lawful dispatch follows humane methods set out in the state code.

Pigeons and mynas may be managed under declared-pest rules or under permit, depending on state. Possums are protected wildlife. The Possum and Cat Magnet Trap is for permit-driven possum exclusion work and lawful cat trapping.

The Magnet Trap range is supplied as the equipment. The operator carries the legal duty to use it correctly. Each trap ships with a state-by-state status summary and the documentation pack auditors and councils expect.

Live Capture Systems Frequently Asked Questions

Are Magnet Trap traps Australian made?

Yes. Magnet Trap is the Pest IT-owned live capture brand. Designed by pesties working in Australian field conditions, tested across multiple field generations on real declared-pest country before each model went on sale.

What dispatch documentation comes with each Magnet Trap?

Each Magnet Trap ships with the install guide, the dispatch protocol summary for the target species, the catch log template, the disposal record template, and the state-by-state status summary for the operator carrying the permit.

Can MinkPolice trap monitoring sensors be added to Magnet Trap?

Yes. MinkPolice X Trap Sensors fit Magnet Trap models and send an alert via cellular network when the trap fires. Critical on remote agribusiness, council biosecurity, and any program where the labour cost of dry checks exceeds the sensor cost.

Are pesties allowed to trap protected species in any context?

Trapping of protected species (most native birds, possums, bats) generally requires a permit issued under state wildlife protection legislation. The lawful default is exclusion-led management. Pest IT supplies the state-by-state status for protected species work.

What is the standard catch rate for the Fox Magnet Trap on lambing country?

Catch rate depends on baiting and feeding-up schedule, fox movement corridors, and seasonal timing. Programs that follow the feeding-up schedule for 7 to 14 days before the trap is set live consistently outperform programs that go straight to live trapping. The Free Design Service maps the schedule against the site.

Does Pest IT supply training on live capture programs?

Yes. Pest IT runs in-person training on trap placement, baiting and feeding-up schedules, dispatch protocols, and the documentation set. Training is most relevant for pesties pursuing council biosecurity contracts and agribusiness fox programs.

Live capture systems for the declared-pest work and the permit-required wildlife work. Magnet Trap range across pigeons, mynas, sparrows, foxes, feral cats, possums, rabbits.

Live capture covers two streams of work: declared pests (foxes, rabbits, feral cats, sparrows in some grain contexts) under state biosecurity codes and POCTA, and protected species under permit (pigeons, mynas in some states, possums in permit-driven contexts) under state wildlife legislation.

The Magnet Trap range is the Pest IT-owned live capture flagship. Pigeon Magnet Trap for commercial bird work. Mini Myna Magnet Trap for council Indian Myna programs. Sparrow Magnet Trap for grain sites. Fox Magnet Trap for council and agribusiness biosecurity. Cat Magnet Trap for feral cat programs. Rabbit Magnet Trap for declared-pest country. Possum and Cat Magnet Trap for permit-driven possum exclusion.

MinkPolice X Trap Sensors fit the Magnet Trap range and turn the daily check round into data for remote and large multi-trap programs.
