Vertebrate Trapping - Fox, Rabbit, Cat, Possum

Vertebrate trapping. Fox, rabbit, feral cat, possum (permit). Council-grade systems. Documentation pack included.

Vertebrate trapping operates within state-by-state declared-pest rules and permit-driven contexts. Foxes, rabbits, feral cats are declared in most states.

Possums are protected wildlife. The Possum and Cat Magnet Trap is for permit-driven possum exclusion work and lawful feral cat trapping.

Each Magnet Trap ships with the install guide, dispatch protocol summary, catch log template, disposal record template, and state-by-state status summary.

Live capture for declared and permitted vertebrates, with the documentation pack.

Foxes, rabbits, and feral cats are declared pests across most Australian states. Possums are protected wildlife managed under permit. Each Magnet Trap was field-tested before going on sale. Dispatch protocol follows state animal welfare codes.

The Free Design Service maps trap selection by species and site, placement strategy, baiting, dispatch protocol, and council reporting documentation.

Vertebrate Pest Trapping FAQs

Which Magnet Trap for which species?

Fox Magnet Trap on lambing country and council fox rounds. Rabbit Magnet Trap on rural and council biosecurity. Cat Magnet Trap (within Possum and Cat) for feral cat. Possum and Cat Magnet for permit-driven possum exclusion.

Are MinkPolice sensors useful on vertebrate Magnet Trap programs?

Yes. MinkPolice X sensors fit Magnet Trap models and aggregate alerts via cellular network. Critical on remote multi-trap programs where labour cost of dry checks scales with trap count and drive time.

Why is the Possum and Cat Magnet Trap dual-context?

Possums (protected wildlife) and feral cats (declared pest) overlap in operational landscape. The dual-context trap reflects the reality. For possums, the trap is permit-driven exclusion. For feral cats, lawful trapping under declared-pest rules.

What dispatch documentation comes with vertebrate Magnet Traps?

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

How does feeding-up improve catch rate?

Feeding-up is pre-baiting the trap site for 7 to 14 days before the trap is set live. Vertebrates habituate to the food source at the location. Catch rate on trap-set day improves substantially. Most effective on foxes.

Does Pest IT supply training on vertebrate trapping?

Yes. Pest IT runs in-person training on Magnet Trap deployment, feeding-up, dispatch protocol, and council reporting. Training is most relevant for pesties pursuing council biosecurity contracts and agribusiness vertebrate work.

Vertebrate trapping for declared pests and permit-required species. Fox, Rabbit, Cat, Possum Magnet Traps. Live capture. Council-grade documentation.

Within state-by-state declared-pest rules and permit-driven contexts, vertebrate trapping is the welfare-aligned management layer for foxes, rabbits, deer, feral cats, and rats. The Magnet Trap range covers foxes (Fox Magnet Trap), rabbits (Rabbit Magnet Trap), feral cats (Possum and Cat Magnet Trap for cat use), and possums (Possum and Cat Magnet Trap for permit-driven possum exclusion).

Used on lambing country, agribusiness, conservation reserves, council biosecurity rounds, food sites, and any property where vertebrate pressure threatens stock, native wildlife, or biosecurity standards.

Vertebrate Pest Trapping is the family of live capture traps for declared and permitted vertebrate species in the Pest IT range. The Magnet Trap range covers foxes (Fox Magnet Trap), rabbits (Rabbit Magnet Trap), feral cats and possums (Possum and Cat Magnet Trap), with each trap field-tested across multiple generations before going on sale.

Foxes, rabbits, and feral cats are declared pests across most Australian states. Possums are protected wildlife managed under permit. Live capture and lawful dispatch operates under POCTA and state animal welfare codes.

The Fox Magnet Trap was designed on lambing country. Used by pesties, agribusiness operators running stock country, and council biosecurity teams running declared-pest rounds. The Rabbit Magnet Trap covers rural and council declared-pest work. The Possum and Cat Magnet Trap covers permit-driven possum exclusion and lawful feral cat trapping.

Each Magnet Trap ships with the install guide, dispatch protocol summary for the target species, catch log template, disposal record template, and state-by-state status summary. Dispatch protocol follows the humane methods set out in the state animal welfare code.

MinkPolice X Trap Sensors fit Magnet Trap models and aggregate alerts via the cellular network on remote multi-trap programs. Critical on broadacre agribusiness, conservation reserves, and council biosecurity rounds where the labour cost of dry checks scales with trap count and drive time.

For pesties pursuing council biosecurity, agribusiness, conservation reserve, and food site vertebrate trapping work, the Pest IT Free Design Service maps trap selection by species and site, placement against movement corridors, feeding-up schedule, dispatch protocol, sensor coverage, and council reporting documentation. Trade pricing applies to every approved trade account.
