{"product_id":"mink-cage","title":"Mink Cage Trap","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Mink Cage Trap features an age-old design that has proven effective in trapping minks. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMink are devastating where they appear. A single mink can wipe out a poultry shed, decimate a fish stock, or work its way through a population of water voles in a matter of nights. This galvanised steel cage is a proven, simple way to catch them alive on the trip plate mechanism and contain them safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIt comes ready to use straight out of the box. You bait it, set it, and place it close to the water's edge or along a known run, since mink follow predictable routes between cover and prey. Once a mink enters the cage and triggers the plate, the door drops behind it and it's held securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuilt from rust resistant galvanised steel, the long, narrow design suits mink behaviour and stands up to riverbank and wetland use. It's reusable season after season, so it's there whenever you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA note on UK law before you buy. American mink is classed as an invasive non native species, and it is illegal to release a trapped mink back into the wild. They must be humanely dispatched on site. Any trap set for wild animals must also be inspected at least every 24 hours under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, so this is a tool for active management rather than something you set and forget. Best practice in waterside settings is to use the cage in combination with a mink raft to reduce the risk of catching non target species like otter, polecat, or water vole. If a protected species is ever caught by accident, it must be released unharmed straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHigh quality, robust galvanised steel cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReliable trip plate mechanism, holds the mink securely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLong, narrow design suited to mink behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRust resistant and fully reusable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNo assembly, just bait, set and go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 762mm L x 152mm W x 140mm H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pelsis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739180138878,"sku":"1111000059","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/9086\/5969\/files\/Product_Images_3.png?v=1779990812","url":"https:\/\/checkout.pesthelp.co.uk\/products\/mink-cage","provider":"Pest Help","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
