Pre-bait without setting for a night or two. Once they trust the station, set the traps and you’ll see better results.
Placement > product. Put traps perpendicular to walls, right on the rub marks, and block detours so rats must pass the trigger.
@ProPlanner Totally. My takeaways from the chart:
-
Budget & reliable: wooden snap
-
Easy & low-mess: plastic snap or covered electric
-
Hands-off outdoor: auto-reset CO₂
Pair any of these with sealing entry points and better sanitation for best results.
