Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit

The Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit is a vital tool in the fight against the invasive Cane Toad, which has become a significant ecological threat in Australia, spreading across the continent and causing widespread harm to native species. With their toxic secretions and voracious appetites, these toads have disrupted our delicate ecosystem, leading to severe environmental impacts.

Tested at James Cook University, this comprehensive kit includes the Toadinator Trap and the innovative ACTA-ATTRACTA Lure, which combines a UV light to attract insects as a food source and a speaker playing specific Cane Toad calls.

By targeting female toads before they lay eggs, the Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit provides a strategic approach to reducing Cane Toad populations, helping to mitigate their devastating effects on Australian wildlife.

If you’re looking for a humane method of disposing of the Toads as they’re captured, consider using HopStop Cane Toad Spray

Key Features

  • Australian Design:  Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit is specifically created for Australian conditions.
  • Effective Capture: Uses one-way finger doors to trap cane toads, preventing their escape.
  • ACTA-ATTRACTA Lure: Employs a solar-powered light and sound unit to attract toads. The UV light attracts insects, a food source for toads, while pre-loaded cane toad calls, especially attractive to females, enhance the trap’s appeal.
  • Durable Construction: Built to last in challenging Australian environments with galvanised components for extended life.
  • Safe and Easy to Use: Simple to assemble and handle, ensuring safe operation in any environment.
  • Variable Volume Settings: Adjustable sound levels to suit different locations, including residential areas.

How to Use

  1. Assemble the Trap: Construct the metal cage using the provided instructions, including the solid roof and floor, three one-way finger doors, and the mesh rear door for emptying the Toad Trap.
  2. Connect the ACTA-ATTRACTA: Attach the ACTA-ATTRACTA to the solar panel using the waterproof lead. Position the solar panel where it can receive sunlight. The unit can also be powered via mains using the provided power adapter. Allow a few hours for the internal batteries to charge, then switch the unit on.
  3. Place the Attractor: Place the ACTA-ATTRACTA inside the Toadinator cage using the specialised hook and pass the cable through the rear panel.
  4. Position the Trap: Place the trap on level ground in areas where cane toads are active.

  • Volume Adjustment: Adjust the volume of the ACTA-ATTRACTA to avoid disturbing residents.

FAQ

How does the Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit work?

The Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit is a cage trap designed to effectively capture cane toads. It features one-way finger doors on three sides, allowing toads to enter but not exit. The ACTA-ATTRACTA unit inside the trap uses an inbuilt UV light to attract insects, a food source for toads. It also emits pre-loaded cane toad calls, which are particularly attractive to females and increase capture rates.

Why is the sound lure important for successful toad capture?

The ACTA-ATTRACTA technology uses specific calls to lure female toads, which is key to the Toadinator’s success. Research identified the features of male cane toad calls that attract females, and trials showed a tenfold increase in capture rates when calls were combined with light and sound. Removing female toads is important because it reduces the number of eggs laid, impacting future generations.

How do I use the Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit effectively?

Assemble the Toadinator Cane Toad Trap Kit according to the provided instructions. Connect the ACTA-ATTRACTA to the solar panel and position the panel to receive sunlight. Place the ACTA-ATTRACTA inside the Toadinator cage. 

Position the trap on level ground where toads are active, ensuring no vegetation obstructs the doors. Check the trap regularly, ideally daily, and dispose of captured toads humanely.
