Key Benefits
  • High quality, humane kill trap range
  • Precision Calibrated for Reliable Performance
  • Standard Trigger Weights

BT Trap Range – For Stoat, Rat, and Hedgehog Control

For operational purposes, BT Traps and DOC‑style traps are functionally equivalent. Both use the same mechanical principles, performance characteristics, and deployment requirements. BT traps are NAWAC‑approved humane kill traps for stoats. Ferret‑approved humane kill traps are listed separately under NAWAC Guideline 09.

There are two series of BT Traps: BT 200 and BT 250 traps.

Precision Calibrated for Reliable Performance

Each trap is individually calibrated and tested before dispatch to ensure the correct trigger weight for the target species and consistent field performance.

Standard Trigger Weights

  • Rats: 90–100 grams (factory setting)

  • Stoats: 70–80 grams

For large-volume orders, we can calibrate trigger weights to your specific requirements prior to shipment. Please contact us to discuss your project needs.

Safety Bar (Optional Accessory)
A safety bar is available to make baiting and setting the trap safer and easier. (Sold separately.)

Sustainability Commitment

We are committed to a more sustainable New Zealand. Instead of using acid-dipping processes, our traps are finished using glass-bead blasting, a cleaner and more environmentally responsible method.

Trap

We stock the stainless steel variety of the BT Traps which are good for damp, humid, and salty environments

Housing

  • Traditional wooden housing – made of natural materials, all sharp wire edges removed, blends in with the environment

For more options, see our range of rodent control and stoat control products.

What are BT Traps?

BT Traps are humane kill traps designed for stoat, rat, and hedgehog control. They operate using the same mechanical principles and performance characteristics as DOC‑style traps, making them functionally equivalent for operational use.

What species are BT Traps approved for?

BT Traps are NAWAC‑approved humane kill traps for stoats.

What are the differences between BT 200 and BT 250 traps?

The BT Trap Range includes the BT 200 and BT 250. Both are precision‑calibrated and designed for reliable, humane dispatch. The choice depends on your trapping programme and housing preferences.

How are BT Traps calibrated?

Each trap is individually calibrated and tested before dispatch to ensure consistent trigger performance.

Standard trigger weights:

  • Rats: 90–100 g (factory setting)
  • Stoats: 70–80 g

Is a safety bar available?

Yes. A safety bar is available as an optional accessory. It makes baiting and setting the trap safer and easier. (Sold separately.)

What sustainability measures are used in manufacturing?

BT Traps are finished using glass‑bead blasting, a cleaner and more environmentally responsible alternative to acid‑dipping. This supports our commitment to a more sustainable New Zealand.

What materials are BT Traps made from?

We stock the stainless steel BT Trap range, ideal for damp, humid, and coastal environments where corrosion resistance is essential.

What housing is available for BT Traps?

BT Traps are paired with traditional wooden housings, featuring natural materials in a design that blends into the environment This housing ensures safe, effective deployment in the field.

Are BT Traps humane?

Yes. BT Traps are high‑quality, humane kill traps that meet NAWAC standards for stoats and are widely used in conservation and pest‑control programmes.

Which tools can I use to set BT Traps safely?

For safer and easier setting, use the BT setting tool. This helps reduce operator strain and improve safety during servicing.
