Design and field tests of a modified small mammal livetrap

Abstract

A PVC (poly-vinyl-chloride) and metal small mammal live-trap has been developed and subjected to field tests. The PVC traps captured greater numbers of very small rodents and shrews but fewer large rodents than did hardboard ones.

'n PVC-en-metaal vanghok vir klein soogdiere is ontwikkel en is aan toetse in die veld onderwerp. Hierdie PVC-vanghokke is meer doeltreffend wat kleiner knaagdiere en spitsmuise betref; kartonplankvanghokke is egter meer geskik vir die groter knaagdiere.
