Goodnature Traps UK is driven to provide responsible solutions for the non-toxic control of pests and grey squirrels; pioneering automatic traps that humanely and efficiently dispatch target species. A conservation tool, without secondary poisoning.
Great news! The Goodnature A18 Grey Squirrel Trap has passed the standards required to be approved for sale and use under a Spring Traps Approval Order (STAO). The trap will be approved in England to catch grey squirrels and rats
Mice will also be added to the A24 approved target species list at the same time and we are hoping to add the Glis Glis to the approved target species list for both the A24 and the A18 in the near future.
So what next?
Goodnature Traps UK, our automatic trap resets itself so you don’t have to.
The A24 is robust, easy to install and requires very little user input. Our traps have been designed to perform in all climates. The A24 has been designed with non-target species in mind. We are passionate about the conservation of our native species, be it ground feeding birds or hedgehogs, they can be avoided with correct site ID and installation.
Hedgehogs are a protected species in decline. A well-placed A24 set at 12-15 inches above the ground will make it very difficult for entry. Hedgehogs may scale log piles but they are not built to climb vertically. If your detector cards show hedgehog activity in your area, it is important to do everything you can to stop interaction with the trap. This can be achieved with our UK specific formula for rats or building up around the entrance of the tunnel to restrict access. This is an excellent way of blending the trap in to the natural environment and we recommend this be done anyway to improve rodent interaction. Our tailored chocolate formula has been researched and produced to attract the target species. A hedgehogs diet consists of earth worms, invertebrates, eggs, chicks, frogs and fallen fruit. Bricks, wood, flints, etc can be used to shelter the trap and stop any interaction from non-target species. The trap can also be used in conjunction with the excluder tunnel we sell.
Hedgehog Safe
If you have any more concerns over hedgehogs in your area, please get in touch, even if you’re not a goodnature user. We would be happy to offer support on how to carry out a safe trapping regime that will help to protect hedgehogs. Check your garden doesn’t hold these hazards that threaten our prickly friends.
A responsible, well thought out trapping regime will benefit hedgehogs by reducing food competition and predation of their young. It is important to note that reducing the amount of poison used in the environment, is not only humane, but will see less instances of secondary poisoning. A reserved figure for trace elements of poison found in barn owls was placed at 95% in 2015. Other species that suffer are predators such as badgers, foxes, kestrels, buzzards, red kites, hedgehogs and even domestic animals. Responsible trapping, without the use of poison will help our native wildlife thrive.
Have a look here on how to create a safer more enriched sanctuary for them in your garden.
Our trap comes with a success guide on how to avoid non-target species. If you have a resident hedgehog in your area, a well placed trap 12-15 inches high or a built up entrance around the trap will keep them safe. It is vital that if using the tunnel, the trap is at least 12 inches from the ground, vertically.
Please act responsibly and humanely when carrying out any form of trapping, be it with the A24 or other spring traps, respect should be afforded to all wildlife, including brown rats.
Goodnature Traps UK is committed to responsible, poison free pest control which will help native species of conservation concern such as, yellowhammer, house sparrow, linnet, song thrush and starling. Help Here.
Our Goodnature Squirrel Trap is currently undergoing testing. We hope to be able to start field trials by the end of the year. We will not use lethal traps in areas where there are red squirrels. Our ongoing tests will also help us to dramatically reduce the threat to non-target species and strive to protect our native flora & fauna.
