Escape is virtually impossible with the Tomcat Secure-Kill rat trap. Equipped with the powerful Secure Catch design, it kills rats quickly and effectively. Easy to use, sets with a single touch, and features a convenient grab-tab for easy disposal. To use, place Tomcat attractant gel (sold separately) or food such as peanut butter in the bait well. You will want to target an area with high rat activity. Look for droppings near food sources or chew marks on wood or drywall. Grease marks along baseboards and walls are also a sign. Once location is determined, place the trap facing the wall and press the set-arm with your foot or hand. You will hear a click when set. For best results, place 2 Secure-Kill traps 5 to 10 Ft. apart. Once the rat has been caught, use the convenient grab tab to dispose, no need to touch the rodent.
