In a room with mostly hard surfaces, like a kitchen, ultrasound will “bounce” around giving more effective coverage. Not all rat traps are manufactured the same, whilst they may look similar in design and appearance our rat traps vary in several ways including a welded kill bar, a more sensitive trigger plate, fast catch release and most importantly a potent spring that can result in a much faster and humane kill. That is why it is important that you set your traps in places where the rat smells the bait from a distance. Block entry holes and target potential sources of rodent infestation such as garages and garden sheds. High-quality rat traps designed for the UK professional industry for reliable control of rats within internal and external environments.

Rats are neophobic (inherently wary of new objects) so it can take them some time to adjust to the presence of traps. For established infestations, it is important to use traps or baits in conjunction with ultrasonic devices to effectively reduce the population.Aside from causing damage to furniture, floors, and walls, one of the main reasons why you want to eliminate a mouse, rat, or rodent infestation as soon as possible is because they carry a variety of diseases.

It is a highly palatable, non-toxic gel bait has proven to be very attractive to rodents, and offers a quick and cost-effective solution to baiting snap traps and live catch traps.

Placement behind a couch will not allow waves to bounce around freely, causing a hostile sound environment. Rat traps are used to catch rats and mice that cause a nuisance in places where people work and live. Our Roshield trap kill bar is welded, which allows for more force to be transferred from the kill bar to the rat’s body. Sticky food like spreads and jam also work better than solids because the mouse is more likely to trigger the trap while attempting to remove it. Electronic traps should be placed parallel to the wall, so rats are able to walk directly into the tunnel entrance as they travel along the wall.

When using snap traps, place traps perpendicular at close intervals along the wall or place them parallel, end-to-end (red V's on traps pointing towards each other), so that the bait pedal will be encountered first as mice approach from either direction.Mouse traps are suitable for use in areas where it would be a risk to put down chemicals, due to potential harm to children, pets and other animals.
