Timms Trap
A Timms trap is a device used to capture and kill possums. Their use is commonplace in New Zealand, where the possum is an introduced pest. In Australia, where the possum is a protected native species,〔(''Possum FAQ'', Australian Government Web Site )〕 the Timms trap is illegal, despite the high population there. The trap uses a spring-loaded metal mouth to break the neck of the animal, resulting in a rapid and humane death. It requires baiting with fresh fruit in order to attract a pest, which inserts its head through the hole at the front, springing the trap. A Timms trap, as a form of kill trap, is inexpensive, and simple to use, and provides an effective means of pest control for gardens and similar-sized areas. The use of fruit as bait reduces the likelihood that a pet, such as a cat, will be caught. == External links ==
