How This Fits Into a Typical Job

When addressing a rodent problem, this trap is deployed after identifying areas of activity. It is positioned in locations where rats are likely to travel, baited appropriately, and then monitored regularly. After successful capture, the trap is cleaned and reset for continued use.

The process involves preparation, setup with bait, strategic placement, regular inspection, and proper cleaning between uses to maintain effectiveness.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Identify the area affected by rodent activity and choose an appropriate location for trap placement.
2. Setup: Pull back the spring-action mechanism until it clicks into place.
3. Baiting: Apply bait, such as peanut butter, securely onto the designated bait holder.
4. Placement: Position the trap in the desired location, so it sits securely and is accessible to rodents.
5. Inspection: Check the trap regularly and dispose of any caught rodents responsibly before resetting.
6. Cleaning: Rinse the trap after use with warm water and mild detergent to maintain hygiene and functionality.

For stubborn residue or outdoor use, a fungicidal wash like Bond It Mould Stop can help remove organic build-up after initial cleaning.

Storage and Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the plastic material.
• Regularly inspect the spring mechanism for wear or damage to keep reliable performance.
• Clean thoroughly after each use to prevent residue build-up that may deter rodents.
