The Collapsible Trap Tunnel is a double‑ended, live‑capture cage designed to attract and safely contain pest animals. The dual entry doors allow pests to see an exit route, significantly increasing their willingness to enter and interact with the trap. While the primary target species is feral cats, the tunnel is also effective for possums, rats, ferrets, and stoats—particularly individuals that are trap‑shy or cautious around conventional single‑door traps.
This model is fully collapsible for transport and storage, with light assembly required before use.
Placement and Operation
The Trap Tunnel should be positioned directly on trails, tracks, or run‑lines regularly used by target pests. When an animal enters and steps on the trigger plate, both doors close simultaneously. The small mesh size and robust door‑locking system prevent escape and ensure humane containment until the operator arrives.
Lure Positioning and Best Practice
For maximum effectiveness, the lure should be hung from the top mesh of the cage using a wire hook or similar attachment. Position the lure at eye height—approximately 8–10 cm above the treadle plate. This encourages the animal to look upward at the lure rather than downward at the trigger mechanism, resulting in deeper entry and more reliable activation.
Recommended lure types:
Hanging lures also keeps them cleaner, reduces ant access, and maintains scent dispersal for longer periods.
Set the trap up following the video instructions.

The Collapsible Trap Tunnel is a double‑ended, live‑capture cage designed to safely contain pest animals. Its dual‑entry design allows animals to see an exit route, making them far more willing to enter compared with conventional single‑door traps.
The primary target species is feral cats, but the tunnel is also effective for other target animals including possums, rats, ferrets and stoats, It is particularly useful for trap‑shy or cautious individuals that avoid traditional traps.
Animals are more confident entering a tunnel when they can see a clear route through rather than a dead end. This increases entry rates and improves overall capture success.
Yes. The tunnel is fully collapsible for easy transport and storage. Only light assembly is required before use.
Position the trap directly on:
Correct placement significantly increases capture rates.

For best results, hang the lure from the top mesh using a wire hook or similar attachment. Place it at eye height (8–10 cm above the treadle plate). This encourages animals to look upward at the lure, leading to deeper entry and more reliable activation.
Effective lure options include erayz jerky blocks. Hanging lures stay cleaner, reduce ant access, and maintain scent dispersal for longer.
Positioning the lure above the treadle encourages animals to focus upward, reducing hesitation and increasing the likelihood they will step fully onto the trigger plate.
Yes. The trap is designed to securely contain animals without injury until the operator arrives. The locking mechanism prevents escape while ensuring safe, humane holding.
Routine servicing includes:
Because the trap is collapsible, it is also easy to clean and transport between sites.
Yes. Its design makes it suitable for operations targeting multiple pest species, especially where cautious or trap‑shy individuals are present.
