Guidance for the frequency of checking snap-break back traps available for BPCA members

BPCA has produced a guidance document to help our members decide how often they need to check their snapback/break-back traps.

The guidance document was created at the request of members and goes alongside the newly created Code of Best Practice for The Use of Break Back Traps/Snap Traps that went live at the end of 2017.

It’s available for members to download from the member document area of the website now (login required).

Member only documents

The document is only for guidance and will not meet all requirements and situations.

The frequency of checks will always need to be defined by site risk assessments and adjusted as required.

The document covers check frequencies for riddance programmes, pest ingress, monitoring and audit standards.

This document is intended for BPCA members only.

If you’re a BPCA member and you would like a guidance document creating, please contact us, and the Servicing Committee will then discuss it.
