Heavy-duty Australian-designed collapsible live capture trap for European foxes and small wild dogs. 16kg. Substantially heavier than imported alternatives. For government, NRM, landholder, and commercial pest management programs.

✔ 16kg construction vs 4kg for a typical imported collapsible cat trap. Weight is the quality proxy: heavier construction holds up under repeated field use and cannot be opened or escaped from by a determined fox.

✔ Australian-designed for Australian field conditions.

✔ Collapsible for vehicle transport between properties.

✔ Cage trapping provides a targeted IPM alternative to shooting, leg-hold trapping, and poisoning, particularly in peri-urban, commercial, and township contexts.

Advanced IPM

Integrated Pest Management Role

Targeted live capture at the control layer of a fox management program. Cage trapping enables verified capture and humane dispatch, and allows non-target species caught incidentally to be released. In a layered program, the Fox Magnet complements MinkPolice sensors for remote trap monitoring on large rural properties.

Professional Installation

Assemble per included instructions. Position in an area of known target species activity. Bait as directed. Monitor daily.

15 to 20 minutes assembly on site Field Deployment

Maintenance

Inspect trap structure, hinges, and locking mechanism before each deployment. Clean mesh and base after use to remove droppings and food residue. Store collapsed in the storage bag when not deployed. Replace springs or valve components if tension weakens.

Safety

Monitor all traps daily. Captured animals must have access to food and water at all times. Never leave a deployed trap unattended for more than 24 hours. Observe all relevant state and local legislation regarding pest animal management.

About The Fox Magnet Trap

At 16kg, the Fox Magnet is substantially heavier than imported alternatives. 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. Captured animals must have access to food and water.
