The Longworth trap is designed to trap small mammals with the minimum of discomfort to the trapped animal - this model includes a hole to allow shrews
to escape.
* Aluminium construction keeps this trap light-weight for field use
* Designed to allow easy access to all parts for cleaning
The trap consist of two parts - a tunnel, which contains the door tripping mechanism - and a nest box, which is attached to the back of the tunnel. The nest box provides a large space for food and bedding material. When in use it is positioned at an upwards angle to the trap tunnel to prevent rain entering the nest box and to provide drainage of urine or condensation. When the trap is not in use the tunnel can be conveniently placed inside the nest box for easy carriage or storage.
A Longworth trap without a shrew hole is available to allow trapping of shrews.

Please ensure you are aware off and meet the requirements specified, of any relevant laws in the country you are in.
