Our TrapMan team know their stuff, especially when it comes to trapping unwanted pests. We try our hardest to give you the best information, that’s why we spend time photographing and filming our very own setting instruction videos.

I know what your thinking… They look too professional for an amateurs job! We hope that by seeing videos of our products you will feel confident in your trapping journey because the trap is only is good as the person setting it.

It is always a challenging time filming our setting instruction videos, we battle with a number of things including weather, noise disruption, swearing and of course our broad northern accents but fear not our TrapMan team are always on hand with advise, see below on how to contact us;

Winter Preparations

Our winter preparations are under way here at TrapMan. This is our time to sit down together and form a plan for the upcoming year.

As we manufacture a wide variety of items we use the winter months to cut, clip, weld and box as many items as we can. All this winter preparation hopefully means less wait time for you.

Did you know here at TrapMan we even make our own gabion mesh clips! We use our own clips and tools to make our traps, that is why preparation is key. We don’t want to leave you waiting any longer than needed when you have a pest to catch.

Take a look in more detail at the clips we use;

Here we have it, 200 Water Vole Traps ready to go. I would like to say it has been a labour of love but after hand clipping 7000 clips we, here at TrapMan, were happy to wave them off.

These traps will be used in the conservation of Water Voles (arvicla amphibius) in the UK. Working to a customers design and following licencing guidelines on the trapping of these wonderful animals, who sadly are on the endangered species list.

It has been a great project to be a part of but we won’t lie to you, we are happy to see the back of them! We do wish our customer all the best in their conservation work.

Here is the Proof

One of our customers reached out to us with this great picture after he had received his order of one of our Multi catch grey Squirrel Traps. Baited with peanuts underneath the trap at 7pm in the evening, by morning he had caught one squirrel. By the following evening he had caught two more, what a success!

Our Multi catch grey Squirrel Traps have twin entrances and two lifting handles to save your fingers from being bitten. Our multi catch grey squirrel traps are already set, easy to place, bait and are self re-setting, so no need for you to set the trap, for the uninitiated they come with link to online instructions and as with all our traps we will always help via email, text or phone.

Watch us Hard at Work

Today we’ve had a lesson in how to use a tool until the very last inch of its life. That’s right it has been all hands on deck this week even the boss has been on the shop floor! He’s been using a grinder until the disc was silky smooth to get the most out of it, we suspect he even double dips tea bags.

On a more serious note, here at TrapMan we pride ourselves on quality. We work tirelessly to ensure we are making the best products for you.

As you can see we are using our own clips and tools to hand clip treadles onto one of our projects. Yes its time consuming but we do this to ensure our products are well made and built to last.
