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.

UV-treated at 30 GSM with 5-year UV resistance under Australian conditions. Lightweight enough to drape and peg without specialist tools.

Birds and bats will find and use any open edge: close all access gaps with pegs or ties. An unsecured edge is an invitation. Inspect nets at the start of each season. Check for tears, UV degradation, or damaged mesh. Any trapped wildlife should be carefully and promptly removed. Store dry and folded when not in use.
