Sentinel Possum Kill Trap

The Sentinel Kill Trap was developed for Traps.co.nz in 2006 to fill a gap in the possum control industry for a small lightweight portable trap that can be used over large areas. The trap has been used over a large scale by the Department of Conservation in the Urewera National Park and was found to be the most suitable trap tested.

The Sentinel trap was tested By Landcare Research NZ Ltd using the NAWAC trap testing procedures and found that it passed the New Zealand humane standards for kill traps (research report).

The Sentinel also has a patented rat resistant bait clip attached that stops rats eating the bait so the trap remains baited for several weeks. The Rat resistant bait clip has a New Zealand patent (NZ Patent 532933).

This purchase is for the full trap set up which includes:

• The Sentinel Trap
• The Rat resistant bait clip
• The trap cover
• The tree mount
