The original wood-based wire snap rat trap. Provides immediate rodent control and is safe for household or business use. For effective rat control, each rat trap comes pre-baited with a large, expanded professional trip pedal. The large pedal of this rat trap is easily activated both by rodent interest in food, and through accidental contact as rats scamper across the floor to ensure maximum trapping. Once a rodent triggers the pedal, the rat trap immediately springs closed to eliminate the pest on contact. The rat trap can then be easily disposed of for quick and clean removal. These traps require no chemicals or poisons, so they are an ideal rat control device for homes with kids and pets. Perfect for use anywhere in your home or business. For the best results, place the traps near signs of rodent activity or where you suspect rodent activity. These rat traps should be placed where rodents travel, such as along walls at 2 to 3-foot intervals.
