The BioEcoSS TubeTrap

The BioEcoSS TubeTrap is a radical new design of small mammal trap. It has been developed to provide a simple, robust and cost-effective trap for use by research organisations, conservation groups, universities and schools. The trap has been trialled extensively, which shows that capture rates are comparable to, or better than, existing traps. It has many unique design features which make it the ideal choice for both small surveys and large research projects. Check out these features here.

1^st April 2022 – BioEcoSS Ltd. has deregistered for VAT

As of 1^st April this year BioEcoSS Ltd. has deregistered for VAT, which means that VAT no longer has to be charged on any items. Consequently, while stocks last, I have been able to reduce the cost of certain items;

• Mk II TubeTraps With Shrewholes reduced by £2 to £24.95
• Mk II Conversion Kits reduced by £1 to £10.95

You can check out the details of these and other items by clicking on the Product items in the Navigator on the left.   Please note that there are limited numbers in stock, so these prices are likely to rise when the next batch of items are produced.

1^st March 2020 – New Metal Springs

After many months of development I am pleased to announce that the new metal springs are available for Mk II TubeTraps. Manufactured from heat-treated stainless steel they are extremely strong and resistant to corrosion. They provide a much greater consistency and longer life than the original elastic springs and are a significant design improvement for BioEcoSS TubeTraps. You can view details of the new springs here.

1^st January 2020 – New Website and On-line Shop

The start of a new decade brings a new look to the BioEcoSS TubeTrap website. The background to the development of TubeTraps and other features of interest are largely the same. However, the new on-line shop allows you to view details of all products including photographs and specifications. You can then select these into a shopping basket from which you can generate an order.

The other major change to the website is that you now need an account to generate an order. If you have previously purchased TubeTrap products directly from BioEcoSS Ltd., an account will have been generated for you automatically. You should have received an email indicating the user name and password to access your account, but if you don't have these details, please contact us here.

1^st August 2019 – Results of User Questionnaire

Many thanks to all of you who completed the on-line questionnaire that I sent out several months ago. The response was fantastic, with 42 responses from about 160 valid invitations – over 25%! These have enabled me to plan future developments, in particular, the production of new metal springs. Watch this space!

1^st January 2018 – Trap Sales Have Come Back In-house

BioEcoSS Ltd. is pleased to announce that it is now the sole retailer of the TubeTrap.

From 26th January 2018 all existing and new customers can use the Online Order Form to send an order directly to BioEcoSS Ltd.

12^th December 2016 – Replacement Door with a Shrew-Hole
