HOW TO TRAP A MOUSE / RAT
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Release rodents at least 300 metres from where they were caught.
- Carefully wash used and contaminated Traps.

- LARGE PESTROL Multi Catch Rat/Mouse Traps are versatile as they can be used alone or placed inside tamper-resistant bait stations for discrete trapping
PESTROL’S GUIDE TO RATS AND MICE!
Do you have an infestation?
Rats are nocturnal and usually hide from humans, so the typical signs to look for in the home and garden are:
- Scratching noises in walls, under the floor or under decking as rats scurry around looking for food.
- Droppings – rats leave dark, tapered (sausage-shaped) droppings about 1 – 2cm long.
- Distinctive smell – rats leave an ammonia-like smell that will be particularly strong in enclosed areas such as under cupboards, in loft spaces, garages, sheds or under the decking.
- Damage – rats have teeth that grow continuously and gnaw on wood, plastic and even mild steel to keep them trim. Rats can even cause fires by chewing through cables and wiring.
- Ripped food packaging – rats will tear open all types of packaging to find food that may leave teeth marks.
- Nests – rats build nests in warm, hidden places using shredded material such as newspaper, plastic and fabrics. Nests will often contain young rats.
- Burrows – In the gardens, rats will dig burrows especially in compost heaps or under sheds. They will also build nests under garden decking.
Why do you need to get rid of rats/mice?
Rats pose a significant health risk to humans and our pets. Common diseases carried by rats include Salmonella, Weil’s disease, E.coli, Cryptosporidiosis and Tuberculosis.
Rats also carry fleas, mites and ticks and can cause acute allergic reactions.
How to create the first defence against rats and mice?
The first defence against a rat infestation is to proof your home. Young rats can get through holes of less than 1cm, so it is important to seal any holes and fit bristle strips around doors.
It is important not to attract rats with food – store food in strong airtight plastic or metal containers and regularly clean under cookers and fridges.
In the garden, ensure household refuse is kept in closed bins, do not put meat into compost heaps and use squirrel-proof bird feeders, clearing up any food that is spilt. If you have pets in the garden, ensure food bowls are removed after feeding.
Rats can also come up from sewers through broken pipes – it is important to ensure that all pipe-work is kept in good order.

Success! We caught a mouse!
Really good
Can reccommend
Does the job well. Downward spikes did come off and the joins could be stronger but could have been strong rat. Have caught 10 rats over a couple of weeks
Was hoping wire was small enough for mice to but they went straight trough
This is the second time that I have purchased a reconditioned phone from OzMobiles and as before their service has been exceptional as well as their product. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting prompt and efficient service and products.
Great catch and release traps I find bird seed a great bait to use .
product is good quality but I have not been successful with trapping as yet
Easy to set up, great communication.
Worked perfectly!
At first, I thought the entrance to narrow and too sharp and long for rat to be coaxed in however, we’ve caught one and re-located her. So, far, others have succeeded in eating and leaving. We’ll persevere as I refuse to use poison or cruel traps.
Haven’t had the need to use this yet!Looks good
Works excellent and they can’t get out
I’ve given a 3 star rating because I can see this trap is a great idea, and looks pretty ok to catch a mouse or small rat. But our kitchen rat – which measured about 20cm from fangs to tail – must have been a bit too porky to get into it, even with a lot of body flattening. It just walked over the trap (and its tempting inner rat banquet) to get across to another spring-door type of trap which worked with just a piece of sourdough bread..
Great product
No issues
Great product !! and great service 5star all the way
Fast delivery and exactly what was advised
