Larsen Trap Springs FAQs

How does a Larsen trap work?

A Larsen trap has a wide opening. When the bird lands on the trap, there is a trigger which is activated. The top snaps shut and the bird is kept inside safely. You can then release it when ready.

Are Larsen traps legal in the UK?

Bird trapping is legal in the UK, provided you follow strict guidelines for ensuring your traps are humane and checked regularly. These Larsen trap springs are in compliance with humane bird trapping, so they’re ideal for helping to keep nuisance bird populations away from livestock.

What should I consider when installing the Larsen trap springs?

There is a right and a left spring in each pack, and it’s important to get these the right way around during installation. Once the Larsen springs are loaded into the trap, you can bait the trap and leave it in an accessible place. Birds will enter the top of the trip and trigger the mechanism that causes the upper door to snap shut, holding them safely until they can be released elsewhere.
