Step by step process of making a bamboo, or "Tilong", rat trap. This is a very effective trap that can be scaled up depending on the target animal. Once made they last a very long time and can be used over and over again. Traditionally made and still used today in SE Asia and the South Pacific.

If you'd like me to make you one visit my etsy shop:
