Product guide

Roshield XL Heavy-Duty Rat Traps, 2 Pack

Heavy-Duty Pack: Roshield XL rat traps are a hand-powered two-trap set intended for rat control. Their bait-hook trigger is described as requiring the hook to be lifted before activation, while the manufacturer recommends careful placement away from non-target animals.

At a glance

The manufacturer describes a bait-hook trigger that activates when the hook is lifted, rather than by pressure on a treadle plate.
Setup instructions describe baiting the central area, pulling the bar to set the trap, then placing it in an area of rat activity and monitoring it.
The listing recommends placement in confined voids such as an attic or beneath floorboards. Outdoor use requires a suitable box to prevent access by non-target animals.
