    Extra Large Rat Trap

    The Extra Large Rat Trap is a durable and humane trap designed for capturing larger rats and similar-sized pests. Ideal for residential and commercial use, this trap offers a safe, efficient, and easy solution for pest control. The trap is built with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and effectiveness.

    Key Features

    • Target Pest: Extra large rats, weasels, martens, and similar-sized animals.
    • Material: Constructed from powder-coated steel wire for durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.
    • Dimensions: 69 cm (L) x 17 cm (W) x 15.2 cm (H), perfect for trapping larger rats and pests.
    • Weight: 2.3 kg, making it sturdy yet manageable.
    • Easy Set Design: The trap comes fully assembled and ready to use. Simply pull the trigger back and set it in place. No complicated assembly required.
    • Lock Design at the Entrance: Ensures the trapped animal cannot escape, providing a secure capture.
    • High Handle and Long Guard: The handle is designed to keep your hands safe when handling the trap, reducing the risk of injury.
    • Separate Lure Room: Includes a lockable compartment to reduce human scent contamination, making the trap more effective.
    • Safe Freight Packaging: Each trap is securely packaged in an individual brown box to prevent damage during transportation.

    How to Use

    1. Position the Trap:
      • Select a suitable location where you have noticed rat activity, such as along walls, behind furniture, or in dark, quiet corners.
      • Ensure the trap is placed on a flat, stable surface to avoid tipping over.
    2. Prepare the Trap:
      • The trap is pre-assembled and ready to use straight out of the box.
      • If desired, place a small amount of bait (such as peanut butter, cheese, or fruit) inside the designated lure compartment. This will attract the rat into the trap.
      • Note: Use gloves when handling the trap to avoid transferring human scent onto it.
    3. Set the Trap:
      • Gently pull back the trigger mechanism until it locks in place.
      • Check that the entrance is properly aligned and the trap is securely set.
      • Safety Tip: Be cautious when handling the trap to avoid accidental triggering.
    4. Monitor the Trap:
      • Regularly check the trap, especially after 24 hours, to ensure that any captured rats are removed promptly.
      • The trap has a high handle with a long guard, allowing you to safely transport the trapped animal without coming into contact with it.
    5. Release or Dispose:
      • If you wish to release the captured animal, carefully carry the trap to a safe location away from your property, and gently open the trap.
      • If you prefer to dispose of the trapped animal, ensure it is done in accordance with local regulations regarding pest control.
    6. Reset the Trap:
      • After each use, reset the trap by pulling the trigger back into position and placing it in the desired location for further use.
      • Clean the trap periodically with mild soap and water to maintain its effectiveness and longevity.

    Precautions

    • Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets:
      • Always place the trap in areas that are not easily accessible to children or pets. While the trap is humane, it should still be handled with care to avoid injury.
    • Wear Gloves When Handling the Trap:
      • To prevent transferring human scent to the trap, always wear gloves when setting up or resetting the trap. This helps to avoid deterring the target pests and makes the trap more effective.
    • Check the Trap Regularly:
      • It is crucial to monitor the trap frequently, ideally at least once every 24 hours. Leaving the trap unchecked for long periods may cause unnecessary stress to trapped animals and reduce the trap’s effectiveness.
    • Handle with Caution:
      • Always handle the trap gently to avoid triggering it accidentally. Ensure that the trap is placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent it from tipping over.
    • Proper Release:
      • If you plan to release the captured animal, do so in an area far away from your property to prevent re-infestation. Ensure you follow local wildlife regulations when releasing animals.
    • Avoid Using Bait That May Attract Non-Target Species:
      • Be cautious with bait selection. While the trap is designed for rats and similar pests, using food or bait that might attract non-target animals (like household pets or native wildlife) can lead to unintended captures.
    • Maintenance and Cleaning:
      • Periodically clean the trap to maintain its effectiveness. Use mild soap and water to remove any debris or scents that may build up. Avoid using strong chemicals or cleaners, as these may deter the rats from entering the trap.

    FAQ

    What types of animals can this trap catch?

    The Extra Large Rat Trap is primarily designed to capture larger rodents commonly found in Australian urban and rural areas. It’s highly effective for:

    1. Rats: Both the introduced black rat (Rattus rattus) and brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), which are common pests in Australian homes, businesses, and agricultural settings.
    2. Native Rodents: Larger native species such as the bush rat (Rattus fuscipes) or water rat (Hydromys chrysogaster), though these are less likely to be problematic in urban areas.
    3. Possums: While primarily designed for rats, the trap may also work for smaller possum species like the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) in some cases.
    4. Rabbits: In rural or semi-rural areas, the trap might be suitable for capturing young European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), an introduced pest species.

    It’s important to note that while this trap can catch various animals, users should be aware of local wildlife protection laws. Some native species are protected, and it’s illegal to trap them without proper permits. Always check with your local wildlife authority before trapping any animal you’re unsure about.

    Is this trap humane?

    Yes, the Extra Large Rat Trap is a humane trap. It is designed to catch the animal safely without causing harm, allowing you to release the captured animal back into the wild if desired. The trap features a lock mechanism at the entrance to prevent the animal from escaping.

    How often should I check the trap?

    It’s recommended to check the trap at least once every 24 hours. This ensures that any trapped animals are removed promptly, reducing stress on the animal and improving the effectiveness of the trap. Frequent monitoring also helps prevent the trap from becoming ineffective due to overfilling.
