A typical imported collapsible cat trap weighs 4kg. That weight difference is not a spec comparison. It is the difference between a trap that holds a determined fox and one that does not. Heavier construction holds shape under repeated use, keeps joints secure, and does not deform after the third or fourth deployment. For the pest manager running a contracted fox program, a trap failure means a lost fox, a wasted site visit, and a program that has to explain why the numbers are not adding up. In rural areas, foxes contribute to lamb losses of 10 to 30% per season. For the agribusiness operator, that is revenue lost every night the foxes are active. The Fox Magnet provides cage trapping as an alternative to shooting, leg-hold trapping, and poisoning, particularly in peri-urban and township contexts where those methods are not practical or permitted. Cage trapping enables verified capture and humane dispatch per applicable state requirements, and produces the verifiable capture records that government and NRM programs require for contracted work. Australian-designed. Collapsible for vehicle transport between properties. Non-target species caught incidentally can be released. For remote properties, pair with MinkPolice sensors for digital notification when the trap is triggered, rather than driving the round to check every trap in person. Monitor all traps daily.

The Possum and Cat Magnet handles both feral cat management and possum management in a single heavy-duty collapsible unit. 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.

It is across the lambing paddocks, around the poultry shelters, and along the tree line. A single trap at one position addresses one corner of the problem. The Viper Fox Trap at 6kg makes multi-trap deployment practical: three or four traps covering the active zones across the property, each collapsible for transport between positions as the program develops. Foxes are a declared pest in all Australian states and territories. No permit required. Cage trapping enables verified capture and humane dispatch per applicable state requirements, and allows non-target species caught incidentally to be released. For remote properties where checking every trap in person is a half-day drive, pair with MinkPolice sensors for digital notification when a trap is triggered. For situations requiring the heaviest-duty construction (large or aggressive foxes, sustained commercial program use), the Magnet Trap Fox Magnet at 16kg provides substantially greater cage strength.
