It works on the territorial instincts of these birds: a call (decoy) bird is housed in one compartment, and intruding territory holders enter the catch compartment to confront it, where a sprung perch and door secures them inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis Pest Stop Larsen Cage is built for serious, repeated use.

In England this is Natural England (general licences GL01, GL02, or GL03 depending on purpose, together with the standard trapping conditions in GL33), in Wales Natural Resources Wales, in Scotland NatureScot, and in Northern Ireland DAERA. From 1 January 2026 the England licences are issued annually rather than every two years, so the conditions need checking each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe general licences come with strict welfare requirements that you, as the trap operator, are legally responsible for.
