Heavy Duty 'L' Shaped Trap Powerful trap for the control of rats within small, medium and large infestations. Traps should be placed within main areas of activity preferable close to either established feeding or nesting sites. A recommend location would be within an attic space or a confined area away from non-target access. Designed for the control of pest rats only. Unlike standard rat traps the trigger can not be activated until the spike in the centre of the food well has been activated. This results in faster acceptance of rats in large populations and allows time for rats to feed and trust the device. The high strength of the spring allows for a fast kill. Due to the unique design it is less likely to be triggered by slugs and snails, something that can be a problem with standard traps.
