Dingo and Wild Dog Traps in Australia: Where to Buy
Dingoes and wild dogs are common in Australia and can pose a real threat to livestock as well as native species. Wild dogs are a “restricted invasive species,” and in most states are required to be controlled. For pest control workers, and property owners it’s important to understand what your trapping options are, and the features and benefits of various styles of wild dog and dingo traps in Australia. At Western Trapping Supplies, we believe that an educated trapper is a more effective trapper, so we have a large selection of how-to videos on our site, and offer a range of in-depth instructional books and DVDs for sale. We want you to get a quality trap at an affordable price, and get the most from it.
Wild Dog Traps in Australia: Your Options
There are a few different types of wild dog traps that we sell in Australia. Restrictions on use vary by state, so be sure to consult the State Legislation section of our site, or your area’s government site, for details. The main types of traps we offer are rubber jaw, offset laminated, and collar style.
Rubber jaw traps provide the same hold as traditional steel jaw traps, but with padding on the jaws to ensure a humane hold. With replaceable padding, they’ll stay effective even after frequent cleaning and exposure to the elements. Offset laminated traps have extra strips of metal to make the traps impact less harmful, and the jaws are offset to allow blood flow to the trapped foot. Traps work by using a pressure plate (pan) to trigger the release of the jaws, which are held in tension. Both our WTS #3 and #5 size traps are our most sort after models for wild dog trapping, even for larger dogs.
Every trap is made from high-quality materials that are designed to withstand the elements and last a long time. We pay careful attention to including features such as welding in addition to riveting for extra strength, and thicker baseplates on larger dog traps. Australian animal traps must follow certain guidelines, but they should also work when needed and be well-made.
