The Big Cheese Ultra Power Live Multi-Catch Rat Trap is fully assembled and ready to use. It is suitable for use in indoor and outdoor areas including homes, gardens, farms and commercial premises. It is safe for use in areas where pets and wildlife are present or where conventional snap traps or poison baits may be a hazard, for example in kitchens and food stores. The trap simply requires baiting and positioning in an area where rats have been active. It is important that the trap is checked regularly to minimise the distress of captured animals, and to ensure the timely release of any accidental captures. The trap is self-setting and can hold up to 5 rats at any one time. The carrier handle and hand plate ensure that rats or other captures cannot bite or scratch while being transported. The edges on the trap are machine-finished so captured animals cannot be injured by these.
Know the Code
Whether trapping rodents, birds or animals, we advise users to be mindful of their legal obligations to comply with The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and to ensure that captured animals do not suffer.
- Position traps away from natural or man-made hazards and areas prone to flooding.
- It is good practice to check cage traps regularly for catches. Remove traps that can not be regularly checked.
- Remember: the welfare of all captured animals becomes the responsibility of the captor.
- For live releases: transport animals at least 3 miles from catch-site and release into a natural environment away from any obvious and immediate risk of danger or predators. Ensure there are adequate sources of food and shelter available nearby.
What should I use to bait the trap?
The Mouse & Rat Attractant from The Big Cheese (STV163) can be used or a sticky substance such as peanut butter, jam, or chocolate spread. Poison baits should not be used inside this trap as it is a live catch trap and poison baits would cause unnecessary suffering and a slow death.
Where should I position the trap?
Place set traps in locations where rodent activity has been known or is suspected. Check for these signs of rodent activity. Ideal locations for traps are along walls or other flat vertical surfaces where rodents run. Always place the cage trap alongside a wall.
How should I dispose of caught rats?
The rat must be killed humanely by a quick, sharp blow to the back of the head with a blunt object, causing a minimum amount of suffering.
How many rats does the trap catch at a time?
The trap can hold up to 5 rats.
