Flagship Eight-Tunnel Automated Bird Trap & Management Unit
The APC-N8 is the highest-capacity automated bird trap in the APC Range — a self-contained, weatherproof machine that executes the full six-stage pest bird management lifecycle with zero manual intervention required between service intervals. Available in T1 and T2 tunnel sizes to match your target species precisely.
8 Tunnels
Maximum throughput for high-pressure sites
99.7% Accuracy
AI species ID across 50+ pest bird species
Cold Storage
Integrated freezing chamber for compliant disposal
T1 or T2
Select tunnel size to match your target species
Full Automation from Bait to Disposal
Bait
Species-specific attractants lure target birds into the detection zone.
Detect
AI computer vision confirms species identity before any action.
Authorise
A verified operator receives an alert and must explicitly approve action via the remote platform.
Sedate
Once authorised, CO₂ is introduced gradually — the bird becomes drowsy and loses consciousness without pain or distress.
Dispose
Specimen is automatically sealed and transferred to cold storage.
Freeze
Integrated freezing maintains specimen integrity for compliant disposal.
Select Tunnel Size
The APC-N8 is available in T1 and T2. Choose based on the standing height of your target species.

Getting the Best Results
A few simple steps during the first days of deployment can make a significant difference to how quickly birds accept the unit and how effective it becomes.
Allow an acclimatisation period
Once the unit is in position, give birds at least a few days to get used to it and begin feeding from it before activating euthanasia. Birds are cautious around new objects — patience at this stage significantly improves capture rates.
Keep your distance
Try not to linger near the device once it is deployed. Birds associate humans with danger. The less human activity around the unit, the faster birds will accept it as a safe feeding location.
Clean out at night
If the unit requires servicing or cleaning, do this after dark. Birds are not active at night and will not observe or associate the activity with the device, preserving their confidence in it as a food source.
Blend into the surroundings
Where possible, position the unit so it sits naturally within the environment. Camouflaging it against a fence, wall, or vegetation reduces novelty and helps birds accept it more quickly.
Add a nearby water source
Placing a small water fountain or bird bath close to the unit can increase the number of birds visiting the area, creating more feeding activity around the device and improving results.
Use larger bait initially for scavenger species
For scavenger-type birds such as the Indian Myna, start with larger bait pieces placed outside or near the entrance. This encourages them to associate the location with food before they begin entering the tunnel.
