How to use Killer Rat Trap correctly?
Using raw peanuts as bait, place Killer Rat Traps outdoors along a certain terrain with a sandwich distance of 5m~10m and a row spacing of 20m~50m. Place it indoors along the wall base, with the Killer Rat Trap perpendicular to the wall base and the tread end against the wall.
Place one clip in a room smaller than 15m2, place two clips in a room larger than 15m2, and calculate the standard number of rooms per 15m2 for a room larger than 15m2, and so on.
Place them in the evening, and check and record the type and number of captured rats in the early morning of the next day. Rat density was expressed as the capture rate.
Bait requirements:
To compare data from various places and stages, it is required to use unified baits as much as possible. Raw peanuts are easily available everywhere at low cost and are more suitable for large-scale monitoring work. They are an ideal unified bait.
Killer Rat Trap deployment:
Since rodents generally move along wall bases and field ridges, it is easier for them to find hiding places. Therefore, Killer Rat Traps are generally placed along the wall base indoors, and Killer Rat Traps are generally placed along the field ridges in farmland. The Killer Rat Trap is perpendicular to the wall base or field ridge, making it easier for rats coming from two different directions to eat bait, and can more accurately reflect the density of rats in the monitoring area.
When deploying a Killer Rat Trap, you need to consider the palatability of the bait, the sensitivity of rodents, and the location of the Killer Rat Trap. The location where the Killer Rat Trap is deployed should be an area where rodents are likely to move, rather than an area that is convenient for human activities. Therefore, the Killer Rat Trap should be deployed in a relatively hidden location.
Also, note the following points:
Killer Rat Traps should be placed on rat paths, at the entrances of rat burrows, and in areas where rats often come to feed and drink.
The Killer Rat Trap should be placed at right angles to the rat track or wall base, and the bait board should be close to the rat track to kill rats from both directions. If the space is too narrow to place horizontally, it is best to place two Killer Rat Trap bait boards horizontally opposite each other in two directions. When hunting yellow-breasted rats, pay attention to the upper and lower rat paths of the roof beams, and fix the Killer Rat Trap on the beams and columns with iron nails or wires.
Killer Rat traps placed in sewers or damp places should be coated with anti-rust oil.
