Top tips for success
1. Use Trap Location Cards
Use your Trap Location Cards (3x included) to determine
the best location for your trap.
To use them, fold in half and set them in 3 dierent areas.
Leave them out for 1-3 days, then check to see if they’ve
had rodent interaction. A chewed up card indicates a good
spot to install your trap.
3. Finding the best trapping area
This is the most important step when installing your trap.
Look for places where rodents will stop to investigate the
trap. Rodents are comfortable in places where they are
hidden and covered.
5. Move your traps regularly
If you don’t catch anything in the first couple of days, move
your trap to a new location. Moving your trap regularly
helps catch all the rodents, as there’s often more than one.
If you installed your trap onto a Trap Mount, you must
remove the CO
2
Canister and safely test-fire your trap
(steps 11-12) before moving it to another location. Note:
This will expel any remaining CO
2
and you will need to
replace the canister with a new one.
2. Top-up every 6 months
Replace the CO
2
Canister and Rodent Paste every 6
months so you always have enough charge for your trap to
fire, and fresh paste to attract pests.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the CO
2
Canister in the trap for
more than 6 months can cause damage to the seals in
the regulator and voids your trap’s warranty.
4. Eliminate all competing food sources
Rodents will ignore a new food source (like our Rodent
Paste) if they have easy access to their usual food sources.
To eliminate any competing food source, store all potential
rodent food sources such as animal feed, pet food or
compost in sealed rodent proof containers.
Consider using Goodnature pre-feed paste to get rodents
on the scent towards your trap.
6. Target species
Our A24 trap is designed for trapping rats, mice and stoats.
If you’d like to trap Grey Squirrels in the UK, check out our
A18 trap. All use of traps is subject to legislation set out in
the Spring Traps Approval Order for each country.
