A ladder trap is commonly used by farmers and gamekeepers for pest control. It provides a very efficient and humane way to catch various types of corvids.
All forms of animal trapping in the UK is strictly regulated. Anyone engaged in such activity is wholly responsible for making sure they are abiding by the relevant laws and regulations. Ignorance provides no excuse in the eyes of the law. Experts at BASC are on hand to give help and advice to all members about using and building ladder traps. Yet another reason to join BASC.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put into this and the downloads you provided. We are going to use the Ladder Trap here in Thailand 🇹🇭 As the Crows have decimated the smaller beautiful bids that used to live here like the Hummingbirds. Hopefully they will return after the Crows have gone!! 🙏❤️🌹

Great trap I have being using them for nearly 20 years and have caught thousands of grey crows and magpies . location, bait and an out of town call bird are the secrets to success.

What is a call bird ??

So what do you do with the unwanted birds ?

@deanguando1335 Год назад

Nice trap - well illustrated - must hold a lot of birds when full.

@geotom2023 3 года назад

I think its about the exit entry space between the ladder rungs thats smaller than the birds fully extended wing span . Although i dont if crows are quite smart enough to hang on the rung and crawl out. If it works it works !

@hawssie1 3 года назад

With the proper sized mesh and ladder spacing this should work well for European or House Sparrows. It may be able to be downsized some as well since it appears the main reason for the large height might be so the targeted bird's wings have a chance to be fully opened and flapping when they contact the roof (ladder) and also to keep them from being able to leap to the opening and escape. A sparrow is much smaller and quick to fly, but I could be wrong on this.

@ShigekiHizashi 2 года назад

I want to make one of these to double as a chick brooder. Chicks + feed would mean permanent irresistible bait. Walk in at night and dispatch all but two males since their the most vocal and would further entice more in

@Stevelemontrudy Год назад

If you want to catch house sparrows, I suggest the Deluxe Repeating Sparrow Trap. It's a live trap which allows you to easily release what you don't mean to catch. With the addition of an auxiliary nesting box you can catch sparrows almost non-stop. Recommended by lots of birders.

great video

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

Totally Awesome! Really liked how informative this video was! I appreciate all of the information! I assume that in a survival situation, one can always make the mesh with thin saplings and tie everything together with roots or vines in lieu of nails, staples, screws, and zip ties! I plan to make one this year just to understand the entire concept of it much better! Awesome Job describing the entire construction of this ladder trap! Appreciate it so, so very much! Thanks for the post! Awesome Job!

Nice one Bud. Well done. I must start and make one as a present for the "pesky magpies" that have invaded my space. Best video on this particular subject that i have seen mate. Ten out of Ten.

How far apart must the spaces be in the ladder to deal with sparrows one of the most destructive pests in the States.

@nickwhite3686 3 года назад

Is it possible to make one half the size by just halving the measurements for everything? Do you think it would still be effective?

@combinelover8988 3 года назад

Sure is!

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

If going for the species designed for then you would still have to make sure that the bottom of the ladder is at least a meter or more high off the ground so that the birds can't fly out. A meter is 39 inches. So keep the ladder for crows and such at least 39 to 42 inches from the ground! The rest of the trap can be cut in half size length wise, but width & height, I think you can't really cut it in half. So if portability is your issue, you might want to make it folding or in more collapsible portions for yourself!

I am wondering can the Magpies escape through the bigger ladder for the crows. I am considering making another ladder to trap some crows. But if Magpies go into it, can they escape through the bigger ladder. ??????

Wuld it work for a Eurasian Jay bird (Garrulus glandarius)? they are many in my region and they destroying the crops

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

It will work for any type of bird, you just have to size it correctly for each type of bird! How far they can jump, wing span, and other important information! You'd have to do a little research on the type and species of bird you're going after to catch!

A call bird

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

Most birds like bread, seeds, and the like. Crows will also go after corn, and also dead animals like squirrels, rabbits, the kind of stuff that they find on the road from roadkill! So use your imagination, and also watch what you see birds eating! Worms, fruit, etc.

@@flugschulerfluglehrer7139 What's a call bird and how does a person get one?

@flugschulerfluglehrer7139 2 года назад

@@patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558 A call bird, „Lockvogel“, « oiseau leurre » is a living magpie (or a craw if you are trying to catch craws) that you put inside the trap. This bird will be quite annoyed, that it cannot escape. Ravens are very curious animals and if one of their kind is in distress the will come and have a look. This lures them into the trap. I know, you need to catch a call bird first. But that is a totally different story 😉

Starlings our the pest we need to trap in America. Need to know rung size for these beasts.

@pathfinderwildlife9814 6 лет назад

You can see them mark at 15mm

@pathfinderwildlife9814 6 лет назад

15 cm, not mm, also 6 inches

@HILUXCHAINSAW 6 лет назад

It's 150mm for Rooks and Crows and 75mm for Jacks and Magpies. A starling is way smaller than any of these birds and a lot more agile when in flight. You would have to experiment with rail size for these birds. If you've got a Starling problem try using a green laser. I heard the other day of a farmer that had a green laser pointed at a Disco ball and they wouldn't go near his barn.

Can it just have a flat roof made out of plywood then? and cut 6" x 6' holes?

@petercziglan130 4 года назад

One two can jump jumps

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

Because of the height of the trap, the birds can't jump out! The birds need to fly out, however because the ribs of the ladder are close enough together, the birds with their wings open can't fly out and are trapped!

@nukadahl 6 лет назад

What are side slopes for?

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

To confuse the birds on how to get out! They try to go to the upper most part to try and get out in lieu of the ladder area! This trap always intrigued me since I was a kid!

@joewoodchuck3824 3 года назад

How does it work?

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

Birds fly to trap for bread or other bait, then drop down through the ladder for the food. Once inside, they can't get out with their wings open! Once one is in, it calls for help! Other birds of it's kind come to help and they too get stuck inside! They too call for help! So once you catch a bunch of birds, bag up what you need, rebait, and always leave one inside to call for more help to catch more birds!

@ronyerke9250 6 лет назад

How do you get the birds out without just setting them free or getting pecked?

@panzerstrelok 3 года назад

Mass execution, if its crows do it in the dark

@honeybuns4513 2 года назад

Gloves, thick long gloves! Claws are what hurt when catching without gloves! Grab, and put into a cloth bag! Can use an military laundry bag that has draw strings. The birds won't really peck you, just fly away from you, so getting scratched by the claws on the feet are the issue!

Everyone seems to be here to catch crows to kill them. But honestly I'm here because they are super intelligent and loyal, so I want one for a pet.

@pl2222 4 года назад

olivia jensen You do realize that it would be illegal to do that. The Migratory Bird Act, first implemented in 1916, bans anyone (with the exception of licensed wildlife rehabilitators) from owning any migratory bird native to the United States. Protected species include the American crow and its close relative, the common raven.

Look what's happened to the UK since it adopted the metric system. The imperial system was called "imperial" for a reason, and it wasn't because it was third world.
