Boost your success rate with our rodent trapping tips:

• Put the trap in the right place – this will depend on the trap you’re using and whether you’re doing urban or bush trapping. But generally:
  • look for any rat or mouse sign, e.g. droppings, gnawing, feeding activity, etc
• Attach the trap firmly and correctly – look at the instructions for the trap you’re using
• Attract the rodent with a lure/bait – use:
  • peanut butter – rats love chunky texture
  • our lure range – either edible or smells
• For added attraction, put some lure on the tree – down the tree branch or trunk, below or in front of the trap, leading to the trap entrance
• Replace the lure/bait frequently – it won’t attract rodents once it loses its smell.
  
  

Note: These are general rodent trapping tips. Experiences will differ depending on the trap used and the situation – urban, rural, or bush. For more information, see each trap instruction sheet.
