EDDIE B 3,119 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It seems it's a mixture of bees wax and parafin, however it seems the rustoleum would be quicker and easier, These dips and paints,are mainly for protection, and wax is used More as a way to sharpen up the action of the trap! Makes them a little quicker, and more sensitive! Quote Link to post
randombadger 26 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Out of interest, where on the Spring Traps Approval order is the approval for their use on squirrels? As far as I can see (STAO 2012) it's approved for use against Rats, Mice and 'other small ground vermin', the latter group does not include grey squirrel, hence why other traps specifically mention grey squirrel specifically e.g. the BMI 110 which can be used for "grey squirrels, stoats, weasels, rats, mice and other small ground vermin". Has there been a modification to the STAO to permit the 55's use on grey squirrel? Quote Link to post

Yes, there has been an interim amendment, and they will be officially put on the STAO when it is updated shortly. 1 Quote Link to post
randombadger 26 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Cheers, found it.... http://faolex.fao.org/docs/pdf/uk146000.pdf Variation of the Spring Traps Approval (England) Order 2012 2. The Schedule to the Spring Traps Approval (England) Order 2012(c) is varied as follows— (a) in the entry for the BMI Magnum 55, in Column 2 (conditions), after “killing” insert “grey squirrels,”; must have missed that when I was reading the bit about the Goodnature being approved.
