Description
Capture basking turtles efficiently and humanely with our top-of-the-line turtle traps. Designed for maximum effectiveness and ease of use, this floating turtle trap is ideal for managing turtle populations in lakes and ponds, ensuring a healthy ecosystem.
Efficient Floating Turtle Trap Design
Protect your pond's ecosystem with our expertly designed turtle trap, available at Stromberg's Chickens.
Our turtle trap measures 32" x 18" x 9", making it perfect for capturing both smaller turtles and those weighing up to 36 pounds.
This design ensures humane and effective trapping, crucial for maintaining the natural order of your pond, stream, or lake. By placing the trap at the pond's edge, you can effectively catch turtles that are causing issues.
Innovative Bait Box Feature
Our turtle trap comes equipped with a bait box to increase catch frequency. This feature lures turtles from the pond into the trap, ensuring a higher success rate. The bait box is easy to use and significantly enhances the trap's effectiveness in catching turtles.
Enhance its effectiveness further by using chopped raw fish for bait, enclosed in a sack or bait box inside the trap. This versatile baiting option attracts a variety of sunbathing turtles, including the problematic red-eared slider.
For best results, partially submerged bait works well to attract turtles climbing into the trap.
Spacious Turtle Traps for Smaller Ponds
Whether you’re trying to catch snapping turtles or softshell turtles, our floating turtle trap is your best ally. One trap is suitable for smaller ponds, where turtle populations can have a more pronounced impact.
Our turtle traps are designed to catch multiple turtles at a time. Regular checks are recommended, with a best practice of clearing all but one turtle each week.
This not only maintains the trap's effectiveness but also ensures the humane treatment of the turtles. Removing turtles regularly will help manage the population efficiently.
Check the floating turtle traps and remove any turtles about every 2 weeks. Remove other floating surface debris to increase catch frequency.
