Trust us, catching a rat in the home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Cue Tomcat Rat Traps (Wooden), the inexpensive, effective way to take care of rats. The basic design of our wooden traps is what makes them so popular and user-friendly. And, most importantly, the trap's U-shaped bar has a strong hold and ensures a quick kill. To use, bait the trigger of the trap with Tomcat Attractant Gel (sold separately) or peanut butter. Then, set by pulling the U-shaped bar to the opposite end and insert the curved end of the pin into the raised side of slot of the trigger. Rodents have a natural tendency to run along walls as they move from hiding to feeding, so we recommend placing traps up against the walls of rooms or cupboards where activity is suspected, such as kitchens, basements, or garages (droppings and oily marks along baseboards are a telltale sign of activity). Once caught, toss the trap and rat in the trash. This case pack of Tomcat Rat Traps (Wooden) contains 8 rat traps.
