This humane rat kill-trap comes complete with a custom made wooden tunnel box to keep the trap safe from curious pets and children (see picture).

Target predator:
Rats

Operation:

• Hands-on training options are available through the Halo Website
• Online instructional videos are available through the DOCskillable You Tube site

Safety:

• Bait the trap before you set it
• Slide the trap into the tunnel BAIT END FIRST
• Ensure the trap is close to the GATE END so birds can’t reach it through the ‘tunnel opening’
• Ensure the mesh gate is closed at all times to protect children

Bodies:

• Dead animals can be buried in the garden or bagged and placed in household rubbish

Bait:

Simply bait with cheese or peanut butter and check it regularly. You can move the trap around occasionally to keep curious rats interested. If you have a compost bin try putting it near there (or even in!) as rats often like the warmth and food provided by a compost bin.

All money raised from sales will go into buying more traps to kill more pesky predators!
