TARGET SPECIES: Stoats, Ferrets
The proven BT250 predator trap improves on the design of the DOC250 trap with larger, more powerful springs in order to enhance performance and meet NAWAC testing guidelines for humanely trapping ferrets. The increase in spring wire diameter makes the BT250 significantly stronger but still lighter than the DOC version.

PASSED NAWAC GUIDELINE
Independent testing completed by Landcare Research, found the BT250 Trap to pass National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (NAWAC) trap-testing criteria for ferrets with a class A rating.
Because of the powerful springs of this kill trap, the BT250 should be bolted into a trap box that is specifically designed for the target species. Tunnels channel the target species through holes in the mesh created to only allow entry of certain sized mustelids. This protects the public and ensures non-targeted species such as kiwi and kakapo are not harmed.
HOW TO SAFELY SET THE BT250 TRAP
The BT250 is a very powerful trap. It is highly recommended that this trap be set with a specific setting tool. For your protection, a safety bar is then applied while the trap is baited. The safety bar can then be removed and the lid fastened to seal the top of the box. Ensure use of the safety bar any time you change the lure. We can supply you with the necessary equipment to make setting your traps easy and safe.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BT250 PREDATOR TRAP
Using quality materials in its construction has ensured that the BT250 kill trap is designed to deliver long and trouble-free use. This trap will provide many years of successful trapping provided that it is well cared for. Never activate the trap and allow the jaws to snap against each other as damage may occur.
