Collarum Springloaded Snare for Foxes

[Urban Fox Control London 8]

Only approved for use in England 3 months ago, imported from America, I was wondering if anyone has used them yet and what the results were. As most of my work is done in Schools and private back gardens, I just put traps down, though always looking at other options for urban fox control.

 

Comments please if you have had any experience yet with these devices. Thanks.

Having just watched the video, I don't think it would be appropriate in a school or built up area due to public opinion and disturbance.

 

I throw a taurpaline over my traps when dispatching foxes in cages in order to keep things as discreet as possible, especially when on sensitive sites such as schools or back gardens.

 

The other consideration would be a captured fox dancing around on the end of a cable which would draw the crowds and could create alot of stress and bad feeling, especially when I am trying to be as humane as possible. Furthermore, I might be an hour away from site, or stuck in traffic getting there.

 

At least with the traps, I can get my client to throw a blanket over the trap to keep thing quiet until I arive without anyone else knowing whats going on.

 

The Collaum, however, is a great tool for the right place. It would great in an agricultural situation or in a rural setting where the are not so many public milling about.

I have been sent one by the Magnum Trap Co to trial. It is set around a chicken run close to a farm. If I have any result good or bad I will share my findings with the forum.
