The Monarch Rat Trap

This is not the flimsy mesh type so called Monarch rat traps that our competitors sell for less. This is a strong purpose built rat trap manufactured by The Trap Man using the same technique as the original design employed when it was first manufactured by hand over 100 years ago. The whole trap is hand made from 1.5mm wire which is dipped into molten zinc after manufacture to give a rat trap that will last a lifetime of use and abuse, no C clips or zinc plated mesh on our Monarch Rat Trap

Using the The Monarch, Rat Trap is simple, bait inside the rear compartment with kipper or part cooked bacon, place the funneled entrance end 2" away from but not touching a wall, fence line or obvious rat run and at a right angle to it, so that the rats have to pass the open funnel entrance door. Pre bait just in front of the entrance funnel with bread or corn and sprinkle some through the top of trap..........NOT too much we don't want to give the rats a hearty meal we want the rats to be enticed into the funnel opening of the rat trap and through the one way door into the rear holding compartment where you placed the strong smelling bait, capture is inevitable.

Please note it is better to position multi live catch Rat Trap on a solid surface to prevent the rats digging under the trap to access the bait. Also the trap will work better if no other food source is available to the rats. You may not catch the rat during the first week... or the second.
