Cage trap with a clear finger trap gate. Approximately 500 w X660 long X 255 high. This sort of trap can keep your yard toad free. In trials a yard trap cleaned out a yard area in 5 nights and kept it relatively toad free by catching any toads that moved into the area. Light and shadecloth not included in the price.

Consider just buying a trap gate and making your own trap if you need to freight it as the costs are very high for freight. We will supply plans.

It would be best to buy the trap gates and make your own cage as the freight is becoming very expensive as freight companies work off the size of the container, not just the weight. This is a cage trap has 3 clear finger trap gates. During trials near Pine Creek this type of trap caught 543 cane toads in six weeks.

The image shows a field trap fitted with a solar powered light. This particular trap caught 50 toads on its first night. Lights and solar panels are not included in the price.
