Rat Trap

A rat trap is a device designed to catch and kill rats. There are various types of rat traps, but they typically consist of a mechanism that is triggered when a rat enters the trap to access bait. This mechanism may snap shut, crush, or otherwise incapacitate the rat, leading to its demise.

One common type of rat trap is the snap trap, which has a spring-loaded bar that is triggered by the rat’s movement. When the rat steps on the trap to reach the bait, the bar snaps down, quickly killing the rodent. Snap traps are often made of wood or plastic, with a metal bar for the killing mechanism.

Overall, rat traps are an effective means of controlling rat populations and preventing damage and disease spread associated with these pests. However, it’s essential to use traps responsibly and humanely, ensuring that they are placed in locations inaccessible to children and pets. Additionally, traps should be checked regularly to remove any captured rats to prevent odor and contamination issues.
