PLASSON CANE TOAD TADPOLE TRAP LURES PK 5
Regular price $24.90The vast majority of cane toad breeding activity occurs between the months of September and May in Australia
Each female cane toad can lay two clutches of eggs per breeding season
Each clutch can contain approximately 8,000 to 35,000 eggs
Cane toad tadpoles do not like to mix with other family groups. If you see a swarm of cane toad tadpoles, they will all be siblings
If you have a large waterbody with two separate swarms, they are most likely from different families
You MUST clean your trap THOROUGHLY after each use. If you don’t wash your trap properly, the scent of the previous catch will remain on your trap and the next time you use it, the new group of tadpoles won’t go near it
How do Cane Toad Tadpole Lures work?
Cane toad tadpoles like to eat the spawn of other female cane toads
Watergum Cane Toad Tadpole Lures give off the same scent as cane toad spawn
Cane toad tadpoles are attracted to the lure because they think they are going to find food
An ideal trapping session is 4 – 8 hours long, then the trap should be removed from the water
Each lure lasts for 24 hours of water-time. This means you can use a lure for an 8 hour trapping session, remove the lure, let it dry out, and then use it again for your next trapping session as it still has 16 hours of use remaining
Please note that lures will be strongest during their first use and will gradually become weaker as you reach 24 hours of water-use
When to use, and when not to use your trap
Only set your trap if you actually see cane toad tadpoles! CLICK HERE for cane toad VS native frog ID assistance
Ideally a trapping session should not exceed 8 hours. This may result in tadpoles dying in the trap. Dead tadpoles release a warning signal telling other tadpoles to stay away which will make your trapping session ineffective
TEMPERATURE – Tadpole trapping works best in water that is at least 18°C. This is because cane toad tadpoles lose their appetite when the water is cold, so they won’t be interested in the lure
If it is cold, use your trap in the mid-day sun
If it is hot, use your trap in the early morning or afternoon/evening, or you may want to try using your trap over night when it is cooler to prevent tadpoles from dying in the trap
Don’t use your trap during or just after heavy rain and be aware of tide patterns. Water movement and changes in water level will disrupt lure scent dispersal
Don’t place your trap in a strong current, the current will carry the lure scent away
Turn off fountains and filtration systems while using your trap. These items will disrupt lure scent dispersal
Do not use two traps close to one another. The scent plumes from each trap will join together and create a cloud and the tadpoles won’t know where to go and will not go into the traps
Only use two traps in the same waterbody if you have two distinct swarms and therefore two different family groups in the same waterbody. Ensure that the swarms and the traps are at least 15 metres away from one another
How to set your trap
Have your lure handy but do not put it into the trap yet
Before you put your trap into the water, place the lid (Side C) on and turn anticlockwise until it locks in place and the corresponding numbers match
Select a spot to place your trap, as close to the tadpoles as you can
Turn your trap on its side so that Side A is facing upwards and hold the trap under the water until it fills with water. Use the ‘Optimum Water Level’ guide on the trap to help you
Do not fully submerge your trap, ensure that the lure hole on Side A remains above the water
Ensure that your trap is stable and won’t move. You may want to place a rock inside the trap or on top, or you can use straps or other means to ensure the trap stays still
When the water movement has settled and your trap is secured in place, put a lure through the lure hole on side A where it says ‘Insert lure here’
The lure will release a scent plume into the water which will fill the trap and drift steadily out of the funnels, attracting the tadpoles into the trap
Do not move your trap once it is set as you will disrupt the scent plume
An ideal tadpole trapping session will last 4-8 hours, with the trap being checked intermittently to ensure tadpoles don’t die in the trap. Dead tadpoles release a warning signal that tells other tadpoles to stay away which can make your trapping session ineffective
If you do find dead tadpoles in you trap, end your trapping session, clean your trap and start again using the same lure
How to end your trapping session
Tip your trap upright so that the lid (Side C) is now on the top
If you followed the ‘Optimum Water Level’ guidelines, the water level inside your trap will be below the top of the long funnel and no water or tadpoles will be able to escape
If you submerged your trap deeper than the ‘Optimum Water Level’ line, that is okay, but beware of tadpoles falling out of the long funnel and the lure hole when the trap is tipped upright
Remove your trap from the water and turn the lid clockwise (Side C) to open the trap
Check your trap carefully for bycatch (frog tadpoles, small fish, eels) and return any accidental catches back into the water
Pour the contents of your trap through a net to contain the cane toad tadpoles
Wash your trap thoroughly with soap and water. Leave to dry in the sun
What to do with your tadpoles
You can find tadpole disposal information HERE.
Watergum encourages everyone to treat cane toads humanely. It’s not their fault they are on the wrong continent
The fridge/freezer method is currently the most humane euthanasia method approved for cane toads; place tadpoles in the fridge for 4 hours or more, then transfer them to the freezer for at least 8 hours
If this isn’t possible, please go to the FAQ section on the Watergum website for further humane euthanasia information
Tadpoles can be safely disposed of in compost systems or in the environment. Bury them deep to prevent pets, wildlife and stock animals from eating them and being poisoned
Bio-waste causes high concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in landfill. If disposing of tadpoles in council waste, please utilise your bio-waste options

How do EnviroSafe traps work?
EnviroSafe Fly Traps include our special Eco-Bait – a powerful and non-toxic bait which attracts a range of pest flies such as house flies, blowflies, and flesh flies. The flies then enter the trap and cannot escape.
What’s in the Eco-Bait?
Eco-Bait is specially formulated with non-toxic, food-grade ingredients and is incredibly effective in attracting flies to the trap.There are no chemical insecticides present.
What is the difference between EnviroSafe traps and other fly traps?
EnviroSafe fly traps are entirely Australian-made and have been sold in Australia for over 20 years. The baits are made with non-toxic, food-grade Australian ingredients and the trap itself is Australian-made and has both a re-usable and recyclable trap body.Competitor traps are often imports made from low quality single use plastics, which are not recyclable and only add to the problem of landfill.
Can I trap fruit flies with the EnviroSafe fly trap?
Fruit flies are not attracted to Envirosafe fly traps.
Is the trap pet friendly?
Yes, the Eco-bait is completely non-toxic.If you have pets, make sure you hang the trap securely as flies do carry disease and once the trap is full of flies, you will need to ensure your pets cannot get to it.
Is the trap recyclable?
Yes, EnviroSafe trap bottles are made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate with UV stabiliser) which can be placed in your yellow-lid bin for recycling at the end of its natural life.
What do I do about the smell?
When your trap has aged and contains a lot of dead flies, it is normal for it to grow extremely
smelly. This additional smell will attract even more flies and if you have placed the trap well
away from outside living areas and doorways, this should not bother you. However, you can
reduce the smell by disposing of the flies and re-setting the trap.
