A rodent trap is a device designed to capture or kill rodents, such as mice and rats. These traps come in various types, including snap traps, glue traps, and live traps. Snap traps quickly kill rodents upon activation, while glue traps immobilize them. Live traps allow for the capture of rodents without harming them, enabling release in a different location. Rodent traps are commonly used in homes, businesses, and agricultural settings to control rodent populations. Proper placement and baiting are essential for effective trapping. Regular monitoring of traps is also important to ensure humane treatment and prevent odors from dead rodents.
