Trapping Tips
- Rats are extremely shy and suspicious, therefore trapping a rat requires a little human ingenuity.
- Foreign objects in their natural environment, whether they be in the forest or the city, they will avoid for up to a week. It is thought that smell, (not sight as rats have very poor vision) is their biggest concern with new objects in their environment.
- In most cases if a rat or rats are proving difficult to catch, it is preferable to set several traps within a small area, thus creating a false sense that the trap is a part of the natural environment. By leaving the NOOSKI safety tunnel in their natural environment permanently, they will become comfortable with the trap. Rodents acclimatising to the addition of the trigger housing once set, should not take long.
- If a rat is proving difficult to catch, try to remove it’s food source and set the trap with the same food e.g. if a rat is into grass seed in the garage, then put it out of reach and set the trap with seed. Don’t put teaser bait round the trap as there is no evidence in tests that this increases your catch. Rats will simply eat the teaser bait and not enter the trap.
- Although a rat will eat practically anything, they prefer meat, fish & cereal. If the food is disagreeable, they develop food shyness. If acceptable, they eat their fill at one sitting and return time after time. Chocolate, peanut butter, cheese, dog biscuits, grain, milk powder and fish meal, all work successfully in the NOOSKI Trap System.
- It is recommended not to touch the trap once set for at least a week. If you have no luck, try different bait, but don’t move the trap.
- It is recommended to replace the NOOSKI ring every four weeks, although will still be effective for up to eight weeks and more.
- When setting the NOOSKI trap, look for droppings, burrows, runways or gnaw marks on objects. Try to set at parallel against a wall, as rats typically travel along walls as opposed to crossing open rooms. This also applies to the outside of buildings and in the bush against trees, stumps or fallen logs.

| Q. |
Why can't I catch a Rat? |
| A. |
There may be several reasons:
- Ensure the trap is positioned against a wall or object that the rats are travelling along. Do not set the trap in open spaces.
- Once set do not keep moving the trap.
- Change the type of bait - banana, chocolate, peanut butter and aniseed are recommended.
- Tests have shown that several NOOSKI traps set in an area will produce better results than a single trap.
