Hi, we have recently purchased some AT220s and before we put them out we’d like to know what the recommended spacing is. The same as trapinators or because they are more effective can we put them further apart? Any advice? Cheers H
We have a number of these also. The answer to question as always sits around objectives of target species and level of control.
Our original trap layout was for low level background suppression of possum and sited for wild cat catch. We have found the more sparse layout to use a lot of resources to service for little true on ground gain though did get five cats early on and certainly a lot of rats and possums!
Our new objectives are more around intensive possum control and in some areas rats so will be tightening the layout to reflect this. Locally another group are 200x200 for high level possum control. Others I have heard at 350.
We have a mosaic of bush and farmland which changes our layout also.
Good luck
