Best Rat Traps

The Trapro Humane Rat Trap Cage makes the best of an admittedly unpleasant task. It is a decent size for capturing any rodent living in your home from mice to rats to weasels. The product is well-designed with a hair trigger to avoid escapes. You can also tweak its sensitivity.

You have several purchase options including large and dual-door. It is durable with galvanized steel to prevent rust. It is virtually maintenance-free because of the mesh floor and sides. It’s affordable, especially when compared to the cost of an exterminator.

The Harris Humane Mouse Trap, Catch & Release also takes a more kind-hearted approach to handle a rodent problem. If you have cats, using poisons are not an option. This product gives you a better choice. It works on the same principle as the previous one with a different approach. Instead of mesh, the trap is plastic.

That makes it escape-proof yet transparent to check it quickly. The shape is an excellent choice because it replicates the tunnels and burrows that rodents likely use already. That design contributes to its effectiveness. It helps that it’s inexpensive too.

The Tillain Rat Glue Traps are a great choice for your rat problem. They are easy to use and set up, super sticky, and have a foldable design that works for any location. They are peanut butter scented to attract rats to the trap. The traps are also eco-friendly and made without chemicals or toxic compounds making them safe to use around your family and home. They work well on rodents and a number of other common household pests such as small scorpions, spiders, crickets, cockroaches, and flies.

Tillain’s super strong adhesive makes for the ideal rat trap. For the best results it is recommended that bread crumbs, cheese, or fried fish are placed in the center of the trap to attract rats or mice. If you are using it in the winter Tillain recommends to heat it up on a heating pipe before use to get the glue warm and sticky. If you are removing the rats from the glue, household vegetable oil can be used for a painless release. Avoid leaving these traps in direct sunlight or near water. If the trap does get wet, dry before using.

The Rat Zapper RZC001 is easy to use and makes the disposal of ‘catches’ simple and mess free; no more handling involved. Insert the required 4 AA batteries, add bait such as peanut butter spread along the back wall, place the trap and power it up, then go about your day and wait for a blinking red LED light to indicate a catch. The Rat Zapper makes the next step – disposal – much easier. You don’t have to physically handle the catch; it stays inside the kill chamber and all you need do is tip the opening into the trash.

The electronic trap has metal plates and smart circuit technology that senses when a rodent enters it. Designed specifically for rats – which are able to restart their hearts – this unit offers a high voltage shock which is applied for a solid two minutes to ensure elimination.

The Rat Zapper doesn’t use poisons or chemicals, but as with any electronic device, please exercise caution around pets and children. Its use is intended for indoors, so don’t let it get wet.

The RinneTraps Walk The Plank Mouse Trap works on a simple principle. Mice and other rodents will climb to get around, even on telephone wires. The pests walk up the side and fall into a bucket once they’ve sprung it. Though it sounds odd, it works. The trigger mechanism is sensitive and will trap even the smallest of rats.

You must supply the bucket. A five-gallon one will do the job just fine. Proper placement is essential for maximum effectiveness. You can quickly move it to find the right spot because of its construction.

The Kat Sense Large Rat Trap Mice Traps is a different take on a reliable way to get the job done quickly and effectively. It builds on the concept of the classic wooden device and takes it one step further with one that is more powerful to prevent escapes.

When using these types of traps, you’ll have better success if you set several of them. Fortunately, you can buy it in four or six-packs for better coverage. You can reuse them or toss them out after being tripped. The mechanism is sensitive to keep rodents from stealing the bait. The manufacturer guarantees that they will work too.
