In this article we explore what a selfset rat trap actually is, how it differs from an automatic trap and the benefits of going either way. This should give you an understanding of what might work best for you, and your pest problems.
We get asked a lot, “what’s the best rat bait?” so today we’ll be exploring what food rats look for and why our rat traps are designed to be used with the Goodnature chocolate based rat bait. We decided to meet with lure expert Christine, to better understand what rats are looking for when they visit your trap and how you can better lure them in. She’s got an MSc in Molecular Biotechnology and a PhD in Plant Molecular Biology, so she’s the perfect person to help us out.
If you’re thinking of trapping a rat, the first question is often, “what do rats eat?”. Knowing what the best bait to lure them in with is critical, so it’s really important we get this right when trapping.
