Trapping
Trapping is one of the most effective methods of wild mink control, as it allows for the removal of individual animals without the use of harmful chemicals or poisons. As mink are an invasive pest they cannot be relocated and must be dispatched. The traps used to dispatch mink should only be set by professionals as they can be harmful to non target species and humans who may come across them. Catch alive traps can be used to remove mink from a property but the mink must be humanely dispatched.
