Does it kill the rat?

No. It is a live-catch cage: the rat stays inside until you release it. You need to check it regularly and relocate the animal.

What can I bait it with?

Peanut butter, nuts, dried fruit or a small piece of meat work well. Place bait behind the trigger plate so the rat must step on it.

Can it catch mice or squirrels?

It is sized for rats and will also take mice, though small mice may trip the door without being caught. Squirrels may fit but are strong enough to test the door.

Is it safe around pets and children?

Yes, there is no poison or snap bar. Still place it out of reach, since a caught rat can bite through the bars.

How do I clean and reuse it?

Rinse it out and disinfect after each catch, then let it dry. Galvanized iron resists rust, but drying it extends its life.

Where should I set it?

Along a wall or run where you have seen droppings or gnaw marks, with the open door facing the path. Rats prefer to move along edges.

Our take on the Automatic Humane Live Rat Trap Cage

A single-door live-catch cage trap made of galvanized iron, about 37 cm long and 1.16 lbs. It catches rats and similar rodents alive so you can release them elsewhere, with no poison or kill mechanism. Compared with plastic snap traps it is bulkier and costs more, but it is reusable and safer around pets and children. It suits people who want a catch-and-release option for sheds, garages and gardens.
