There is a variety of devices to choose from when trapping rats or mice.
The three main groups of rat and mouse traps are live traps ,snap traps and glue traps.
Rodenticides are also used to kill rats and to kill mice.

There are several advantages for using traps:

1. Safer than potential hazardous poison baits

2.  Quick, immediate results

3.  Easy disposal of dead rodents avoiding odor problems that will occur if rodenticides kill rodents in inaccessible areas.

4. Types of traps:

•   SNAP TRAPS RAT SIZE AND SNAP TRAPS MICE SIZE
  You may need more traps than you think is warranted.
  
  
  

  Rats are often shy of new objects and placing unset traps in a new location for a week or two will increase the opportunities of catching. This will acclimate the rats to the traps, once acclimated, set enough traps to kill the a large percentage of the population before the rodents become "trap shy." This is called mass trapping, trapping them at a higher rate than they can repopulate and become shy of the trap.

  There may be a need to have as many as 2-3 dozen rat traps set in place in a commercial establishment, in an infested trash room for example. By having these traps baited with a Rat/Squirrel lure or peanut butter unset, a large population would be use to feeding on around the traps. When the traps are then simultaneously set after a while of this "feeding", a large kill can be obtained.
