Know before you buy
The trap is designed for hands-free disposal. Once a catch is made, you simply hold the trap over a waste bin and release the spring mechanism to drop the rodent directly into the trash.
While the traps are designed with a high-force spring, they are intended for indoor use and can be placed in areas inaccessible to pets or children, such as behind appliances or inside cabinets. Always exercise caution and place them in locations where curious hands or paws cannot reach the trigger mechanism.
Yes, the traps are made from durable, non-absorbent molded plastic that does not hold odors. You can easily wash them with soap and water to sanitize them for future use.
The trap features a secure bait cup designed to hold various attractants. Peanut butter, soft cheese, or small pieces of dried fruit are highly effective options that stay in place well.
For the best results, place the traps on a flat, level surface where you have noticed rodent activity. The design relies on a stable base to ensure the high-force snap mechanism triggers correctly.
