Deluxe Humane Repeating Sparrow Trap

Improved from the original repeating sparrow trap that we have sold for many years. An elevated bait tray for English House Sparrows to easily spot as well provides easier filling of bait over the previous trap.

The teeter-totter elevator is also improved to operate more efficiently. The Lexan and aluminum one-way door prevent sparrows from outsmarting the trap and escaping.

Two holding compartments including a traditional open cage area and an additional enclosed holding compartment allows the trapped birds to seek shelter providing less stress in the open cage. Both compartments have access doors to add water and food dishes and remove sparrows for catch and release or place the trap into a plastic trash bag and spray in starter fluid for humane disposal.

The wood is now all treated water-resistant decking wood allowing you to use the trap in more exposed areas over the previous pine lumber boxes.

Carry handle to transport trap.

Simply place a small amount of cracked corn or cheap birdseed on the removable aluminum bait tray. (A long-handled serving spoon works great to reach into the feed tray). When your pest sees a potential feast, they will enter and quickly ride the counterbalanced elevator down to the holding chamber before they realize what happened to their greedy quest.  

The trap is made of heavy gauge mesh, and treated wood. Measures 25" x 16" x 6". Some minor assembly of the bait tray compartment will be needed.

We have used this type of trap for years to rid sparrows from our property, it works amazingly well.

Note: The trap is very effective with sparrows and is being used around barns, airplane hangers, and so forth. However, it's more difficult to catch older sparrows year-round. It is most effective catching the younger sparrows in the spring but as they grow older, they become smarter and wiser. Some different areas may need to be tried to locate the most effective catch area. Placing the trap slightly elevated near a shady area seems to work the best.

For trapping both sparrows and starlings, we carry a repeating fake martin house trap and we have plans to build a large cage "V" trap is the most effective on catching starlings year round Click Here for more information.
