cage door, open the cage door and fit the end of the setting rod through
the eye on the bait hook situated on top of The Trap Man humane Rat trap.

line or obvious rat run and at a right angle to it, so that the rats have
to pass under the open cage door between the Rat trap and the wall or fence. Make sure the setting

more rats in once the main trap has "tripped". This Rat trap is a true multi
catch rat trap capable of catching more than one rat at a time and is designed
to catch whole families of rats. You may not catch the rat during the
first week... or the second. Rats are smart !. They don't want
