HOW TO TRAP A MOUSE / RAT

1. Make sure you correctly identify the type of rodent prior to the setting of the mousetrap. Different species of rats & mice have differing habits. Dead rats & mice in inaccessible places can cause problems with decomposing odour and/ or blowflies. Determining the type of rodent can usually be worked out from their damage, odour and droppings. Droppings of about 18mm in length indicate the Norway Rat, 12mm for the Roof Rat and 3-4mm for the house mouse.
2. The following signs should always be investigated to confirm rat and mouse presence prior to use of LARGE Multi Catch Rat/Mouse Trap:
   • Runways, showing greasy patches on furniture and walls from the mouse fur
   • Urine stains on surfaces of floors and cupboards
   • The disappearance and/or nibbling of food
   • Noise, often at night, which includes squeaking and fighting
   • Nests behind furniture or cupboards made of paper and rags, sometimes snail shells
3. Select the trap which is most suitable for the problem. Eg Small Pestrol Multi Catch Rat Trap for mice and LARGE  Multi Catch Rat/Mouse Trap for rats.
4. Place the Rodent Trap on or very near runways, but not near food or places accessible to children or pets. LARGE PESTROL Multi Catch Rat/Mouse Trap should never be set in hazardous locations (eg. above foods or food preparation surfaces), to avoid contamination by urine, droppings or blood.
5. Bait the Trap using an attractant such as bacon, nuts, peanut butter, apple. The most attractive bait may depend on the particular eating habits of the mice in each particular situation. You may have to experiment in the beginning with a variety of different baits to find out which is most suitable.
6. Record the placement of Trap so that all LARGE  Multi Catch Mouse Traps are removed when the control program is complete. LARGE PESTROL Multi Catch Rat/Mouse Traps should be checked at least daily.
7. Release rodents at least 300 metres from where they were caught.
8. Carefully wash used and contaminated Traps.
