Choosing live trap accessories for Australian declared pest and welfare-compliant trap programs

Live capture trap accessories complete the Magnet Trap kit. Feeders carry the lure; drinkers meet the welfare obligation; the CO2 dispatch kit delivers humane lethal action where authorised; storage bags carry the rig between sites.

Welfare obligations - drinkers are mandatory

POCTA requires every trapped animal to have water and shelter throughout the inspection cycle (24 hours most states; 12 hours in hot weather in some states). The drinker is not optional. Every trap site carries one.

CO2 dispatch - humane under authority

CO2 dispatch is recognised humane under POCTA where lethal action is authorised by the legal context (declared pests). Operator must be trained in correct technique: full saturation, rapid loss of consciousness, confirmation. Improper technique breaches welfare.

When CO2 dispatch is NOT authorised

Protected wildlife (possums, native birds, flying foxes) cannot be lethally dispatched without specific permit authority. The legal context drives the dispatch decision; the trap and the CO2 kit are the same, but the legal authority to use them differs.

Lure feeders by species program

The Pigeon Magnet Feeder Set runs grain or pellet lure for pigeon programs. The Mini Myna Walk-In is the entrance attachment for common myna programs. Match feeder to species.
