Snap Traps
Snap traps are the traditional method of catching rats. They are typically made of metal or plastic and feature a spring-loaded bar that snaps shut when a rat steps on it. Snap traps should be placed in areas where there is evidence of rat activity (e.g., droppings, tracks, etc.). It’s important to note that snap traps are not designed to kill rats; they simply trap them so that they can be released elsewhere.Â
Live TrapsÂ
Live traps are an effective way to capture rats without killing them. These traps work by baiting the inside with food which attracts the rodent inside the trap where it then becomes trapped until you release it somewhere else. Live traps are great for those who don’t want to harm the animal, as well as for those who may need to relocate it to comply with local laws or regulations.Â
Glue Boards
Glue boards are another effective tool for catching rats. These boards consist of a sticky adhesive surface that will trap any rodent that walks across it. While these boards do not provide any kind of humane treatment for the rat, they are incredibly effective at capturing them quickly and easily without having to set up any kind of complicated trapping system.Â
Poison Bait Stations
Poison bait stations are an effective way of controlling rat populations without having to resort to trapping them individually or using live traps. However, poison bait stations should always be used with caution and only after all other options have been exhausted due to their potential risks if used improperly (e.g., accidental ingestion by children or pets).Â
