Product Information

Straight up out the box you’re ready to go. Just pull them out and set them up. The instructions are jammed inside each unit but if you watch my short video demo then you’ll see preparation doesn’t require anything other than setting the trap itself. I would absolutely avoid rat poison on the trigger, just use peanut butter as I do in my tests. The reason being other wildlife might go at it like squirrels. Especially this time of year when food scarce. If you’re going to use rat poison then make sure you have quality bait boxes that would the bait down so mice and rats can’t simply drag it away and store it – they must ingest it. There are two clever reasons why rats travel alongside walls: First, they use their whiskers to sense objects in front of them in the dark. By keeping one set of whiskers touching a wall, they can tell if they are still on the right path. Secondly, traveling along a wall provides protection – they only have to watch for trouble on the open-air side of their path. All rodenticide baits should always be kept well away from children, consider using our sealed pre-baited rat killer box if children and pets are likely to use the area. Rodenticides should also be kept away from pets such as rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and pet mice. As mentioned earlier the glue traps can be easy to set up. However, they can be less effective if dust or dirt gets onto the surface. If you find dust or grass build up on the board surface. The best practice is to replace the board. Glue traps are most effective indoors. Some rat traps don't even guarantee death - they might only catch a limb and leave the animal in pain - and usually only catch one rodent. This means you’d have to set many more mouse traps compared with using a box. You might also be left to “finish it off” if the rat trap doesn’t properly kill it. Rodents are even sometimes known to gnaw off trapped limbs, rendering rat traps less effective.

Having a rat infestation, whether it’s just a few determined rodents or a whole mischief (which is, funnily enough, the collective noun for a family of rats) can be both damaging to your home and dangerous for children and animals. It’s also more than a little unsettling knowing that they’re in the walls or loft or running rampant around your property. This trap can be a type of non-lethal trap; however, you’ll need to free the rat from the glue, which can be a messy process. However, if you’re seeking a nonlethal approach that is very cost-effective, can be a great option. To the untrained eye, it might be difficult to decipher a rat from a mouse. They look similar, move in a similar manner, and sound similar. However, there are key differences and these differences affect your ability to effectively trap them.In the unusual event where delivery is repeatedly refused or no effort is made to accept delivery, we reserve the right to pass delivery and return courier costs to the customer.

I absolutely love how easy the trigger works and it is exceptionally good against even the smallest of rodents that can easily disturb the trigger. And being as heavy duty built as they are, the trap door comes down like a bullet – nothing is getting out. Here’s a short video of me demonstrating that as it’s far more effective than just talking about it:

I’ve seen a few rats in my garden, big ones as well, which I want rid of ASAP so that they don’t get worse, but I have a mate who’s currently seeing loads out in the yard of his terrace house which run by his feet when he takes the bins out. This isn’t pleasant for him, and he’s been nagging me about rat traps and what he should get because I’ve had experience with them, so I felt it was fitting to look at what rat traps there are on the market and give them all a good testing. Once you have a ballpark number buy the trap or traps you find that best fit your needs. We’ve listed our recommendations above for your convenience.

Therefore, using bait is a must: they are lured in by the smell of delicious food only to end up consuming the poison. While it may sound cruel, it is a necessary evil, as infestations can cause costly damage to your property. How Do You Bait a Rat Box?
