How Traps Can Be Used To Effectively Control Rat PopulationsÂ
Rats can be a major nuisance, causing damage to property and spreading disease. If you’re facing an infestation of rats in your home or business, the first step is to identify what kind of rat you’re dealing with. Once that has been done, then it’s time to move on to choosing a suitable control method.Â
Â
Traps are one of the most effective ways for controlling rat populations, but it’s important to understand how they work and when they should be used. Let’s take a closer look at how traps can help control rat populations.Â

Types Of TrapsÂ
There are several different types of traps available for trapping rats. Snap traps are designed so that when the bait is taken from the trap, the metal bar snaps shut and kills the rat instantly.
Â
Live-capture traps don’t kill the rats, instead confining them inside until you can release them elsewhere away from your home or business. Glue boards are also an option—they use sticky glue that prevents rodents from escaping once they have stepped onto it.Â
Choosing Your BaitÂ
The key to successful trapping is choosing the right bait – something that will attract rats and entice them into entering your trap. Rats love peanut butter, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit – all foods that won’t spoil easily when left out in a trap for long periods.
Â
You should also consider any food sources that might already be around in your home or business – if there is already a source of food attracting rats then this should be used as bait instead of something else being introduced into the environment which may attract more rats than necessary.Â
Location Matters             Â
When setting up your traps it’s important to think about where you’re placing them – somewhere sheltered where there is plenty of food around will usually yield better results than an exposed area with no food sources nearby.
Â
It’s also important not to place too many traps in one spot – just enough so that each one has a chance at catching its intended target without competing with another trap nearby!
Â
Additionally, make sure that any live-capture traps are placed away from children and pets so they don’t accidentally get caught in them!Â
