Rat traps, rat poison and rodent control products

Rats in the garden, shed or loft need dealing with quickly: they gnaw wiring, contaminate food and breed all year round. This range covers enclosed rat trap boxes that are safe around pets, heavy-duty snap traps, single-feed rodenticides for established problems, and proofing mesh to stop them coming back.

Our top picks
• Pest X Pro Shadow Rat Trap Box: enclosed and poison-free, with a pull-cord release; best with pets or children
• ROSHIELD Rat Trap Box (2-pack): UK-made enclosed traps at a lower price
• NOPE! Rat Snap Traps (4-pack): budget option for covering several runs
• Pest Expert Formula B+: one of the strongest rat poisons sold to the public; use it in a locked bait station only

How to get the best results
• Pre-bait traps unset for 2–3 days. Rats are wary of anything new.
• Place traps and bait stations flat against walls on active runs, where you see droppings and rub marks.
• Use poison only in tamper-resistant stations, and remove it once feeding stops.
• Check traps daily, and proof entry points with mesh once the rats have gone.
