What type of traps are legal to catch mammals?
• The main type of trap legally used to catch mammals is called a tunnel trap. As its name suggests this is a trap set in a tunnel and normally used for catching stoats, weasels, rats and grey squirrels. A slightly larger trap can legally be used to catch these species plus rabbits and mink. The entrance (or entrances) to the tunnel must only be large enough to allow access to the largest of the target species, and this way prevents larger, non-target species being caught. This trap must never be set in the open or set to catch birds.
