Matt 160 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Help!I've just got 20 body grip traps of ebay for £40! I'm not sure where to set them ! if any one could tell me (pics would be great) I would be over the moon ! cheers Body Grippers for £2 each? I wonder where they were made? You will find they will fall apart in no time at all, and more importantly, they are not approved for use in the UK. The Spring Trap Approval Orders name the makes and models of trap, and the species they can be used for. There is a very good (although dated) video available called 'Body Gripper Basics' which gives some great ideas for sets. It also 'stars' our very own 'Chalkwarren' and 'Snareman'. Failing that, have a search on youtube. Quote Link to post

RatSnatcher 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 before you think about setting any body grips, dont forget you need a tunnel of some sort either mesh or something natural that is good enough to protect non target species from getting caught. Also you will need to work out what you are going to use to support the traps in there set position. If you contact magnum they do a video of how to use them safely. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DJz5URMRllQ&...feature=related Quote Link to post

RatSnatcher 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 You dont need any door on the end, just fold some mesh high enough to allow the trap to activate around 8 inches tall, and to be on the safe side make your tunnel 18inches long no door Quote Link to post
