Troyer's Super-Deluxe Repeating Bait Trap (#RBT)

Welcome to the next generation of Repeating Bait Traps!
Our brand new, exclusive, RBT features many unique improvements over the old-fashioned RBT's.

Tripping mechanism is place above the the trap for easy viewing of bait.
Includes an aluminum bait tray but if you don't want to use it, you can place the bait directly onto the wood.
We placed a wire cover over the teeter-totter so if a sparrow lands on it it will not lower.
Calibrated teeter-totter for House Sparrows.
Large wooden landing porch next to the teeter-totter
Clear Lexan door.
On the interior of the trap the Lexan door has a guard around it to stop the sparrow from lifting it.
Once captured the House Sparrow has a built-in holding box.
The holding box has proved to relieve stress on the House Sparrows while they are captured.
Relieving the stress of the House Sparrow can lead to longer life of decoy birds.
For best results place food inside the holding box.
Includes an aluminum shutter door to block the sparrows into the holding cage.
There are two access areas to the trapped birds, one in the trapping side and one in the holding box side.
You have complete access to to the covered teeter-totter area.
Made using decking wood, it will not rot and is water resistant for three years.
Carrying handle attached to the top of the cage.
Dimensions 25" x 16" x 6" (does not include the teeter-totter cage).
Minor assembly of porch and teeter-totter cover.

Q: We purchased this item a few weeks ago. We have tried it in different locations, but have not had any luck capturing sparrows. Suggestions would be welcomed.

A: Patience is the single most important part when using a bait trap of any kind. Placement near bushes, buildings, anyplace you notice the sparrow hanging out. Have a barn they can get into, place near the grain. Have chicken, place near them. Make a little platform for the trap to sit on. This is easily accomplished by using a cement block (or like) with a plywood board, slightly larger than trap, placed on top of the cement blocks. Bait this by placing bread and millet or other items house sparrows love. Once you see the sparrows feeding off the board, place the trap on to the platform. Place a line of grain in the board and on the bait platform. Again patience is required. You may have better luck when there is snow or its cold as they will be looking for food. Once you have your first sparrow it will go much better and remember to keep food inside the chamber to keep the birds alive, and if you have trapped birds dont leave them out overnight, especially if its cold it could kill them and decoys draw the other birds in. Good luck!!

Q: The description confuses me. It states that the mechanism has a cage over teeter totter to prevent sparrows ... but isn't that how the trap works? I like the design and was ready to order but that oart of description was confusing. I need a trap as soon as possible because I am expecting purple martins any day!

A: Sparrow lands on porch. Sees bait. Steps into the teeter-totter mechanism which goes down, startled sparrow rushes into the cage.

The teeter-totter is covered by a wire cage. This protects the teeter-totter from sparrows sitting on it. The "cage" is shipped folded flat and you will need to follow the instructions to set it up. Easy to do.

You must have patience with this trap. I placed a piece of piece of scrap plywood on the ground and baited it with cracked corn. Once the sparrows readily used that spot (it took about a week) I placed the trap on the wood. Within hours I had 12 sparrows captured. Works best in spring and fall.
