What Are the Best Rat Traps to Use?

When it comes to the decision on how to approach nuisance rats there are many factors to take into consideration. Trapping rats is a solution that can be used for both residential and commercial properties, whereas shooting rats can typically only be used in commercial settings and by those who are properly licensed, skilled, and trained for the task.

Some people also choose to use rodenticides, but this solution is not considered humane and heavily regulated. Rodenticides that are actually effective can only be used by professionals. In addition, depending on the type of commercial facility (i.e., anything food related), rodenticides may not be an option. Let's explore all available options in more detail.

Trapping Rats and Considerations When Choosing a Rat Trap

Location

When choosing a location for placing rat traps, several concerns and considerations are crucial to ensure effectiveness, safety, and minimal risk to non-target animals or humans. To successfully capture a rat, the key factor for placement is animal activity and behaviour. As a home-owner with a rat issue, it is likely you have observed locations with high rat activity including places with droppings and gnaw marks. Rats typically follow the same paths repeatedly so positioning traps along these paths will increase your chances of capture. In addition, rats are often drawn to food. Placing traps near food sources such as garbage and recycling can be an effective technique as well. 

Size and Type of Rats

In Ontario, the two most common types of rats are the Norway rat and the Roof rat. To the untrained eye it may be difficult to tell the difference between the two, and it isn’t one hundred percent necessary to identify the species of rat before setting traps. The Norway rat has a robust and stocky build with small ears, where the Roof rat has a more slender body with a pointed nose and large ears. The main consideration is setting appropriate traps for the size of rats you have seen.
