With the advent of the new 35 day rule governing the length of time that rodenticide (poison) can be left down and the banning of permanent baiting, the use of rat and mouse traps as part of an overall programme of rodent control is set to become increasingly important
PestFix stocks a comprehensive range of discreet lethal and humane non-lethal rat traps and mouse traps.
All of our rat and mouse traps are available from stock for Next Working Day delivery when ordered before 5pm.
Our range covers everything from simple ready-to-use snap traps, quick click traps, revolver traps and glue boards to the latest hi-tech electronic rat and mouse killers.
In accordance with the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (UK) any animal trap set should be checked every 24-hours and the trapped animal either released or dispatched humanely.
Trapping pest rodents is an ideal solution where the use of poisons is not possible. This could be due to food / stored product hygiene laws, or the risk of secondary poisoning or when there is a risk of a poisoned rodent dying in an inaccessible building void and causing a bad odour as it decomposes. Trapping also allows the pest controller to accurately monitor the numbers of rodents being removed from the property, rather than guessing with the use of rodenticides
If you are considering a humane trapping policy to overcome a rat or mouse infestation on your property, prior to commencing, be sure to have adequately proofed your building against the re-entrance of the trapped rodents, see our Rodent Proofing section
