These powerful spring traps are suitable for tackling mink and rabbits. Their springs are extremely strong, and they are more than capable of breaking the bones in a human hand. Safety catches are fitted, and they should be used whenever the trap is being moved or adjusted.

Check traps at least twice daily and take any measures possible to prevent non-target species from gaining access to the trap.
