Fenn trapping has been the traditional method of stoat control. While effective it is very labour intensive and costly. Traps are expensive and need to be set in tunnels so that non-target species are not caught. By law, traps have to be checked daily. Other methods of control, especially poisoned eggs, are now being tried.
