  • The Rentokil Rat Cage Trap is a strong, reusable, and humane live-capture solution for managing rats and other small mammals. Constructed from robust metal mesh with a secure locking mechanism, this cage trap is ideal for use in homes, gardens, sheds, farms, or commercial premises where chemical-free pest control is preferred.
  • Unlike traditional traps that kill, this cage allows you to safely trap and release rodents without harm. Its spring-loaded door automatically closes once the rodent enters to access the bait, preventing escape. The sturdy frame and corrosion-resistant design ensure long-lasting durability for repeated use, indoors or outdoors.
  • Perfect for environments where children, pets, or non-target animals are present, the Rentokil Rat Cage Trap offers a safe, poison-free alternative that supports humane and eco-conscious pest management.

  • Key Features:
  • Humane Live Capture: Catches rats and small mammals without injury.
  • Reusable & Durable: Strong metal construction for long-term use.
  • Spring-Loaded Entry Door: Triggers automatically when the rodent enters.
  • No Poisons Required: Safe to use in homes, farms, and sensitive environments.
  • Spacious Interior: Large enough to trap rats and similarly sized animals.
  • Secure Locking System: Prevents escape once the trap is triggered.
  • Easy to Clean & Reset: Simple to bait, use, and maintain.


  • Applications:
  • Residential homes (attics, basements, sheds)
  • Gardens, patios, and allotments
  • Agricultural settings (barns, stables, chicken coops)
  • Commercial warehouses and storage units
  • Animal shelters or rehabilitation centres

  • How to Use:
  • Place bait (such as peanut butter, dried fruit, or meat) on the bait hook or plate inside the trap.
  • Open the cage door and set the trigger mechanism as per instructions.
  • Position the trap along known rat paths or near burrows—preferably along walls or fences.
  • Check the trap frequently (every 2–4 hours).
  • If a rat is caught, wear gloves and release it at least 1 mile away from your property, in a suitable area away from homes and pets.
  • Clean and reset the trap as needed.
  • Always read and follow full safety and usage instructions provided with the product.
