How To Use Power-Kill Rat Traps

Video step-by-step instructions on how to use our Deadfast Power-Kill Rat Traps.

 

  1. Bait the trap using a small amount of peanut butter, bacon, dry pet food or nuts in the bay trough provided.
  2. Be sure to use a q-tip, toothpick or another tool to bait so your scent is not transferred onto the trap.
  3. To set, pull back the kill bar until it clicks and the trap locks in place.
  4. Place the trap where you’ve seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents primarily travel.
  5. The end of the trap with the bait trough should be placed flush against the wall.

 

Caution: This is a powerful trap. Keep away from children, pets and non-target animals. It is an offence to place the trap in a location which may endanger wild birds or other protected animals.
