A24 Smart Trap Kit – The Smart Trap

The design of the A24 Smart Trap Kit would make it nearly impossible for a possum to interact with any of the kill functions of the trap or to be able to access the lure. If you're looking to install a preventative mesh, you would want to use one with a mesh size < 20mm to exclude possums.

The A24 Smart Trap Kit is designed primarily for rats and mice, but it's important to take precautions to avoid harming non-target wildlife like blue tongue lizards and possums. Here are some steps you can take to minimize the risk:

Placement: Install the trap at least 12 inches (30 cm) above ground level. This height is typically out of reach for blue tongue lizards and less accessible to possums.

Bait selection: Use baits that are specifically attractive to rats and mice but less appealing to lizards and possums. The trap comes with long-life lure, which is formulated to attract rodents.

Protective housing: Consider building a protective housing around the trap that allows rats and mice to enter but excludes larger animals.

Regular monitoring: Check the trap frequently to ensure no non-target animals have been caught.

Positioning: Place the trap away from known possum pathways or areas frequented by blue tongue lizards.

While these steps can significantly reduce the risk, it's impossible to completely eliminate the possibility of accidental captures. Always follow local regulations regarding wildlife and pest control.

Always read the label and use only as directed. The label contains important information on safe usage, storage, and disposal. If you have concerns about local wildlife, consider consulting with a professional pest control expert or local wildlife authority for advice specific to your area.
