The Timms Kill Trap remains a household name for its simplicity, durability, and effectiveness in controlling possum populations and other pests. Timms-style traps can be used for various pests, including possums, rats, feral cats, foxes, and rabbits. The quick and humane action ensures minimal suffering. How It Works: The possum is attracted to the bait inside the trap and puts its head into the hole at the front. A spring-loaded bar then strikes under the possum's chin, causing unconsciousness and death.
Instructions:
Bait the internal trigger rod with a slice of apple, carrot, or other fruit bait.
Pull the string at the back to set the trap, drawing the strangle-bar down over-centre.
Secure the trap to the ground with the supplied loop-head pins or place it in a tree if required.
To remove a dead animal, pull the nylon cord to release the animal, keeping fingers clear to avoid injury.
Safety Note: Exercise caution when placing the trap around domestic pets and children. It’s advisable to unset the trap during the day and reset it at night.
