Magnet Trap is the humane live-capture range for birds and vertebrates, a trap built and sized for each target, from sparrow and myna to fox, rabbit and possum. It is built to hold the animal properly, to hand back the ones you didn't mean to catch, and to take the target the welfare-aligned way, the way council and food-premises work increasingly has to be done.

Use our free design service to map your Live Capture job for a specific site or use case.

Pest IT's design team supports the pestie running the live capture, and the council or site manager who needs the program to hold under welfare rules.

Spec Your Project

The pest taken the right way, the wrong catch handed back.

Every Magnet Trap is a live trap, sized and set for its target, from sparrow and myna to fox, rabbit and feral cat. The animal it holds is held properly: the Myna traps build the welfare in, a one-way valve, a solid roof, no sharp edges, and feed and water so a bird sits comfortably until the trap is checked. A protected native or someone's pet goes back, and a possum can only ever be taken alive and moved on under permit. When a target pest is taken, it is by the welfare-aligned method PestSmart's NATSOP-BIR002 sets. That humane standard, end to end, is what keeps a council putting the work your way.

Live-capture trapping is held to the welfare standards the work is judged on: PestSmart's NATSOP-BIR002 for trapping pest birds, the state animal welfare acts that set the holding-and-handling window, and the protected status of native look-alikes like the noisy miner. Magnet Trap is built to those standards, and the design service maps them to the site, so the program supports compliance rather than leaving the pestie to assemble it.

Magnet Trap Frequently Asked Questions

How does the welfare protocol work day to day on a bird trapping program?

Daily welfare checks at every trap location run before any captured bird is processed. The check covers the welfare condition of any captured bird (water, feed, shelter from sun), the native-species disambiguation step (noisy miner, honeyeater, and other native lookalikes), and the dispatching decision for any confirmed Indian myna, feral pigeon, or house sparrow. The Magnet CO2 Dispatching Kit is the welfare-aligned dispatching pathway PestSmart NATSOP-BIR002 sets for pest birds. Native species captured by mistake are released on site with a documented event note (date, species, site, release condition) for the council reporting cadence. The pestie running the program holds the protocol on site; the council bird procurement frame Pest IT supplies covers the procurement framework state by state.

The humane live-capture range for birds and vertebrates, built so the pest is taken the right way and the wrong catch goes free.

Live-capture trapping is the part of the job with the most eyes on it. A council Indian myna round, a fox program at an orchard, a possum that has to come out of a roof, all of it happens where welfare rules apply and someone is watching how the animal is handled. Magnet Trap is built for that: a humane live-capture trap sized for each target, across birds and vertebrates.

Two things make it hard. The animal in the trap has to be held without harm and dealt with the right way, whether it is the pest you are after or a protected native you have to release. And the bar keeps rising: councils, food-premises clients and the public expect humane methods and proof of them, and welfare scrutiny only grows. Working to that standard is not optional any more, it is what the contracts now ask for.

Magnet Trap is Pest IT's own range, so the free design service sits behind it. Send the round of sites and species through and Pest IT's team maps the trap fleet, the welfare protocol and the holding cadence to the contract, so the program holds up on the ground and on paper.
