Adding small amounts of the paste around your trap’s entrance is a process called pre-feeding. When done consistently, it can boost your trapping success.

How can pre-feeding paste increase my success?

By pre-feeding with a paste pouch we're increasing the amount of paste in your rat's environment. This means the chances they'll encounter it increase.

The more a rat approaches and smells something new in their environment (like your paste), the more comfortable they become with it, and more likely they are to try it. When you begin trapping It's a great way to encourage a preference for your paste and to retain your rat's interest.

How do I pre-feed?

1. Place ten small dots of lure from our Rodent Paste Pouch around the entrance of your trap(s). This increases the food available to your resident rats.

2. Repeat this for five days. This builds their preference for the paste (yes, rats have food preferences) and habit in visiting the trap(s) to eat.

3. Go cold turkey and stop using the rodent paste pouch. Now the only way your rats can access the paste is by entering the trap(s). Bingo.

4. Success! You’ve improved your chances of trapping those pesky rats.
