TOADINATOR SET UP
1. Construct the metal cage first, comprising the solid roof and floor, 3 one-way finger
doors, one mesh ‘rear’ door for emptying the trap, and a hook on the underside of
the lid to hold the light and sound attractor unit.
2. Connect the ATTRACTA to the solar panel using the water proof lead provided and
position the solar panel where it can collect sunlight during the day. The unit can also
be powered from mains power using the power adaptor provided. Allow a few hours
for the internal batteries to charge then switch the unit on
3. Place the ATTRACTA into the TOADINATOR cage using the specialised hook and pass
the cable through the rear panel.
4. Place the trap in the field on level ground where toads are active. Ensure there is no
vegetation that may obstruct the doors.
5. Ensure the trap is shaded but the solar panel is receiving sunlight by utilising the long
cable supplied. Place water dripper bottle (supplied) onto the cage.
6. Check the trap daily and dispose of any captured toads humanely. Refill water
dripper bottle if required.
7. Remove any trapped toads by opening the large, rear mesh door, and tipping them
into a secure bag or bucket. Toads are excellent escape artists, so carefully tie the
bag or secure the lid. Dispose of toads in a humane way
8. Relocate the TOADINATOR if you are not having any success after a short period of
time, approximately 5-7 days
