a few we caught using body grip traps in a hay shed

Here’s the link to another blatantly-illegal-to-use trap on ebay (no surprise there):

But what do you recon on the snails as bait!!!

That’s a new one on me.

I'm not sure it is illegal.

 

Don't forget that the law allows for traps designed and set for rats (and other 'small ground vermin') to be exempt from the Spring Trap Approval Orders.

 

Interesting though

Definitely not illegal,..but questionable as to its humaneness....

Right, yes, I have heard of the small ground vermin exemption. Sorry Ebay.

 

 

Did find another one though, no snails this time, but this one’s got to be ‘blatantly-illegal-to-use’

I often see snail shells in external perimeter boxes that have been predated by rats, so may be worth trying as a bait (if you know they take them already).
