This genuine MK4 Fenn Spring Trap is made in Britain and is suitable for small mammals such as Weasles, Rats, Mice and Squirrels.
Whilst gin traps (a spring trap with teeth to capture and hold vermin) have been illegal in the UK since 1958, the Mark 4 Fenn trap is still a legal trap as it is designed to kill pests such as rats, mice and squirrels. Unlike some other MK4 traps available for sale, this is a legal trap and has been approved under The Spring Traps Approval Act.
It is a legal requirement to set these traps in a tunnel such as the Quill Vermin Trap Box which can be set under feeders using the Quill Feeder Stand to create the ultimate rat trap or squirrel trap.

Traps should only be set on land owned by the person setting them, or with the landowner’s permission and ideally should not be used near public footpaths etc.
