Where & When to Use
Where to Use: Place the trap against walls where rats travel.
Where Not to Use: Do not use in areas that are accessible to children and pets. Since rodent traps rely on food-based bait, avoid placing it directly next to pet food, garbage, or other competing food sources, which can reduce its effectiveness.
When to Use: The moment you see signs of a rat, itβs time to set traps. Donβt wait for your rodent problem to get bigger.
How Often to Use: Check the trap regularly, dispose of any catch promptly to avoid odor, and reset with fresh bait as needed.
How To Use
- BAIT: Bait the trigger of the trap with Tomcat Attractant Gel or peanut butter.
- SET: Set the trap by pulling the U-shaped bar to the opposite end and inserting the curved end of the pin into the raised side of the slot of the trigger.
- PLACE: Place the trap against walls where rats travel.
Product Tips
- Because rats tend to travel the same paths repeatedly, placing the trap against a wall in an area with visible signs of activity, such as droppings or gnaw marks, gives the best results.
- Wearing gloves while handling and placing the trap can help avoid leaving a human scent that may make rats more cautious.
- Wooden snap traps are traditionally designed to be reused; inspect the wood and trigger mechanism between catches and replace a trap if it's no longer working properly.
Product Safety
- As with any spring-loaded snap trap, keep fingers clear of the trigger bar while setting it, and set the trap on a stable surface.
- Keep this and other rat snap traps out of reach of children and pets.
