Simplify your rodent control routine with the Victor Wide Pedal Rat Trap. Using the original wooden snap trap design with an improved larger trip pedal to ensure higher catch rates, this trap will help you to effectively eliminate rodents around your household or business. The expanded size of trip pedal means it can be easily activated, both by rodent interest in food and through accidental contact as rats scamper across the floor. Once a rodent triggers the pedal, the rat trap immediately springs closed to eliminate the pest on contact. Then simply dispose of the trap for quick and clean removal. In addition, these traps require no chemicals or poisons and are made with wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests. For best results, these rat traps should be placed where rodents travel, such as along walls at 2 to 3 ft intervals.
