This professional-quality Larsen Magpie Trap comes complete with a free flocked magpie decoy, giving you everything you need to start live trapping magpies or crows under the current UK general licence.

The trap features a sprung catch compartment and a dedicated decoy chamber, allowing you to legally and humanely reduce pest bird numbers. The included flocked magpie decoy mimics the posture and feather detail of a real bird, ideal for attracting territorial corvids without the need to capture a live decoy first.

Why We Recommend It

We use these traps in our own pest control setups and they consistently deliver results. Having a free flocked decoy included means you can deploy the trap straight away, without needing to source or manage a live decoy bird from day one. It’s a brilliant option for new setups, or for topping up your existing trap line.

The decoy’s realistic flocked finish reduces shine and improves effectiveness in bright conditions, while the cage construction is sturdy enough for repeated use in the field.

Legal Use Guidance

This trap is legal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as long as it is used under the correct general licence terms:

Decoy birds must be supplied with food, water, shelter, and a perch
Only species permitted by licence may be used as decoys
Traps must be inspected at least once every 24 hours
When not in use, the trap must be rendered inoperable
Interfering with a legally set trap is a criminal offence
