Victor Easy Set Rat Trap (Pack of 12)

Product Information

Remember to always clean your home thoroughly after trapping a rat or mouse. Put an End to Rat Invasions With Victor ® We’re now firmly at the expensive end of the rat trap spectrum: Goodnature’s A24 model uses a gas-powered bolt system to instantly exterminate vermin, ensuring no suffering. Traps that are efficient at killing rodents are considered humane,” Dr. Frye explains. He also says if you try to catch and release a rat, it may return to your home or present other problems. “Trapped rats can be aggressive, and without proper precautions and safety measures, people may be bitten by rats.” Because of the difference in size of the two rodents, rat traps are at least twice the size of mouse traps. The large yellow pedal on the Victor ®Easy Set ®Rat Trapis specifically designed with the proper measurements to take down rats in a single snap. The smaller pedal and kill-bar on the Victor® Metal Pedal Mouse Trap, meanwhile, is perfect for catching mice, but it is insufficient if the problem at hand involves rats. Tip 7: Wear Gloves When Holding Rat Traps

It doesn’t have a perfectly rectangular shape like other traps on our list, so it may not be the best option to put under kitchen or bathroom cabinets. It has more of a T-shape, so part of the trap jets out from the tunnels. However, it will work perfectly against walls, in attics, or on porches to help eliminate pesky rodents. Instead, there are other options when it comes to removing an infestation, both lethal and non-lethal, including poison-baited traps, catch and release cages, and – for those of you who play too much Call of Duty – a fully automated, gas-powered, bolt-action trap that records the kill on its “Digital Strike Counter”.If you don’t have the heart to kill rats but understand all the reasons why you can’t have them as house guests, there’s a high-tech method for repelling the critters outright. With the Victor ®Ultra PestChaser ®, you can keep your house happily rodent–free without the use of traps. 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. Key specs – Pest control method: Mechanical; Pest control type: Lethal; Usage: Indoor/outdoor; Bait included: No; Dimensions: 22 x 15 x 8cm

Since it’s made of plastic, it’s easy to clean and won’t hold smells as easily as wooden rat traps. However, unlike more expensive traps with a cover, this trap won’t conceal the body of the rat after the trap is triggered, so be prepared to see it. Coming with a lifetime guarantee, the Big Cheese Rat Cage Trap is a top choice for those dedicated to animal welfare, but who still want to get rid of their unwanted rodent lodgers. If you opt for catch and release, take the cage to an unoccupied, natural area of woods or fields, place the cage on the ground and release the trap’s door. The rat will see to the rest. However, Dr. Frye explains that a method called pre-baiting is more important than figuring out the bait. “Many, but not all rats are neophobic, which means they are afraid of new objects in their environment,” he says. “ To overcome this fear, you have to train the rat to recognize the device as something safe. This is done by providing lots of bait on the trap without setting the device.” Keep in mind that this electric trap is intended for indoor use only—if you need one for your porch or patio, consider the Victor Zapper Max Rat Trap or the Ucatch Dual-Entry Large Rat Trap instead.
