Powerful Heavy-Duty Rat Traps (8 Pack)

When dealing with a rat infestation, the choice of bait is crucial. Rats typically prefer peanut butter, grains, meats, and some fruits as their preferred food sources. To effectively trap these rodents, it is essential to place the traps in areas where the rats frequently travel. Look for signs of nesting, gnawing, and droppings to identify the ideal locations.

One common challenge faced by many is the lack of success in catching rats with their traps. Rats can be wary of new objects in their environment, and they may avoid a freshly set trap in their path. If they happen to trigger the trap without getting caught, they may become spooked and avoid the trap altogether. To mitigate this, it is recommended to first place unset, baited traps in the area. Once the rats become accustomed to their presence, you can then bait and set the traps.

It is important to note that using poison as bait will not make the traps more effective. In fact, it is advised to avoid using poison altogether, as it can pose a safety risk to other animals and even humans. Instead, focus on using the preferred food sources mentioned earlier.

Reusing rat traps can also be beneficial, as the scent left by a previously caught rat can attract other individuals to the trap. Additionally, it is crucial to be patient, as rats may not approach a newly placed trap for several days. As long as the bait is properly positioned within the trap, it can be left in place for an extended period.

Another factor to consider is the potential impact of human scent on the traps. Rats can be sensitive to foreign odors, so it is recommended to wear gloves when handling the traps to minimize the transfer of human scent.

When setting up the traps, it is advisable to place single traps in multiple locations, rather than clustering them together. This strategy ensures that the traps are accessible to the rats and reduces the risk of children or pets accidentally coming into contact with them.

To maximize the effectiveness of the traps, it is essential to use baits that are specifically tailored to the type of rat infesting the area. If possible, place the traps in close proximity to the rats' colony or their usual travel routes.

The rat traps offered by eXuby are designed to be larger and more powerful than standard mouse traps. With their 3.75-inch by 3-inch dimensions, they are 36% larger, allowing them to effectively capture and swiftly eliminate rats. The traps feature powerful springs and large open mouths, ensuring a humane and instant kill.

These traps are also designed for ease of use and reusability. They can be simply placed with bait, set, and left to do their job. When it comes time to dispose of a caught rat, the traps can be lifted over a trash receptacle and released without the need to touch the animal.

Importantly, these rat traps do not rely on harmful chemicals or poisons, making them a safe option for use around the home, without the worry of cross-contamination or unpleasant odors.
