1. Select a suitable place to install the ZIP Bait Tunnel, away from possible puddles or flood zones. Clear vegetation at either end to maximise the chance that target animals will enter the tunnel.
2. Secure one of the tunnel sections to the ground, forming the base of the tunnel. Use the two 75mm TEK screws. You can use any two of the four holes shown below.
Note: Tunnel sections are identical.
3. Place the bait cup into the centre of the lower tunnel section. In the right position the bait cup will sit above the base of the tunnel, meaning that the bait will remain dry if water enters the tunnel.
4. Place bait into the bait cup.
5. Prepare the second tunnel section, which will form the lid. Place the O ring on the bait tunnel plug, then screw into the hole in the centre of the lid. This will help to maintain a waterproof seal.
6. Tighten the bait tunnel plug using your drill fitted with the 3/8 nutsetter bit.
7. Attach the tunnel lid to the tunnel base by inserting the 50mm TEK screws with neoprene washers into the two middle holes and four corner holes.
8. The tunnel is now complete.
To check and/or replace bait, you will need to remove the six outer screws.
