Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the trap door fully.
- Place your chosen bait (e.g., peanut butter, seeds, nuts) just beyond the trigger plate inside the trap.
- Gently set the spring-loaded door mechanism so it is held open by the trigger.
- Ensure the trap is placed on a stable, level surface in an area frequented by the target pest.
Compatibility:
This trap is primarily designed for small to medium-sized animals such as:
- Rats
- Squirrels
- Mice
- Weasels
- Chipmunks
It is not intended for larger animals, as they may not fit or could potentially damage the trap.
Care:
- After each use, clean the trap thoroughly with soap and water to remove any scent. Rinse well and allow to dry completely before resetting.
- The galvanised steel is rust-resistant, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather without drying may eventually cause surface rust. Store in a dry place when not in use.
- Regularly inspect the trigger mechanism and door for smooth operation.
