Rat Traps and Bait Stations

Rats follow the same routes night after night — along walls, under cover, through gaps they've already tested. That predictability is what makes trapping effective when it's done right. This range covers every proven method: snap traps for fast results, enclosed bait stations for ongoing control, live catch traps where a non-lethal approach is preferred, and poison bait for sustained pressure where activity keeps returning.

Which Rat Trap Do You Need?

Rat snap traps — the fastest option for confirmed rat activity. High-tension spring mechanisms that kill on contact, best placed flush against wall lines, behind appliances, under decking and in sheltered runs where movement is visible. Shop rat snap traps.

Rat trap stations and boxes — enclosed stations that house a snap trap inside a protective box. Rats enter more readily through a covered tunnel than an open trap, and the enclosure keeps the mechanism safe from children, pets and non-target animals. The format pest controllers reach for in both domestic and commercial settings. Shop rat trap stations.

Rat feeder stations — lockable bait boxes designed for poison deployment. Keeps rodenticide secure, dry and correctly positioned on known rat routes. The responsible choice where bait needs to be used around children and pets. Shop rat feeder stations.

Live catch rat traps — a non-lethal option where killing isn't preferred. Rats enter and cannot escape; the animal can be released away from the property. Best checked at least once a day. Shop live catch rat traps.

Rat baits and poison — grain, block and paste formulations for use inside bait stations. Single-feed and multi-feed options depending on activity levels and whether resistance is a factor in the local rat population. Shop rat baits and poison.

How Rat Traps and Bait Stations Work

Rats are naturally wary of unfamiliar objects placed in their environment — a behaviour known as neophobia. This is why placement matters as much as product choice. Positioned correctly along active runs, flush against walls and in sheltered spots, traps become part of the route rather than an obstacle to avoid. For persistent infestations, combining snap traps with bait stations and rodenticide increases pressure across multiple points at once, reducing the time it takes to bring activity under control.
