How frequently must traps be visited according to the regulations?

Traps must be visited at least once daily according to California trapping regulations. This requirement ensures the humane treatment of trapped animals, as frequent visits allow for timely and responsible handling of any animals caught in the traps. Prompt visits minimize the duration of suffering for non-target species and ensure that any animals that need to be released or dispatched are treated in compliance with ethical and legal standards. Regular visits also help monitor the effectiveness of the trapping method used and ensure that traps are functioning correctly and reset or repositioned as necessary. This practice demonstrates a commitment to responsible wildlife management and adherence to regulatory compliance within the state.
