Trap Rental Program Available to Rocky View County Residents
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Did you know Rocky View County has a trap rental program through Agricultural and Environmental Services?
Several different types of traps are available to residents for a two-week period to safely trap and remove unwanted animal pests on your county property. All traps are live capture, and it is up to the landowner to humanely dispose of the animals that are trapped.
Animal traps available for rent include: skunk, raccoon, squirrel, magpie and pigeon.
The County does sell gopher traps (pocket gophers) for $10.95 - available at the tax counter.
The County Office is open Monday to Friday for trap pickup however we recommend calling Agricultural and Environmental Services prior to ensure there is a trap available.
To trap and remove (not kill) coyote, fox, wolf, porcupine, and weasels a Alberta Trapping License is required. You can reach out to a local trapper or pest control company to assist.
More information on these various pest species can be found below.
