What is the Best Bait for Rat Traps?

Discovering the Best Bait for Rat Traps: Your Complete Guide

Unraveling the mystery of the most effective rat trap bait is a common pursuit, as evidenced by the abundance of online discussions and opinions. Before revealing the ultimate solution, let's explore essential considerations for addressing invasive rat infestations.

Understanding Invasive Rats:

Invasive rats, specifically brown rats (Norway rats) and black rats (roof rats), are non-native species in the United States and many other countries. It's crucial to distinguish them from native pack rats (woodrats), primarily found in US wooded areas. While pack rats may pose issues in certain situations, addressing them requires different actions. For more insights on pack rats and potential problems, click HERE.

Understanding a Rat's Diet:

At Bait Cage, extensive studies have been conducted on rat feeding diets and behavior, categorizing them into three main groups: 1) protein, 2) carbohydrates or sugar, and 3) water. Proteins are typically found in animal meat, fat, and tree nuts, with rats known to resort to cannibalism due to their insatiable craving for meat. Carbohydrates, in the form of sugar or converted sugar, are present in grains, seeds, and fruit. Rats, constantly searching for food, may establish infestations when they find a stable food source.

Popular Bait Options for Rat Traps:

Commonly used baits include peanut butter, Nutella, bacon, nuts, seeds, cheese, dried fruit, and chocolate. However, many of these popular choices may lack a sufficiently strong scent to entice rats, resulting in a failure to attract them to the snap trap or induce feeding upon encounter. In many cases, these popular baits will not meet the dietary needs of the rodents and be dismissed. Additionally, some food baits may quickly become stale or rotten, prompting rats to avoid the trap entirely. Because rats exhibit a high level of caution and wariness towards new stimuli, a behavior known as neophobia, baits used on traps must be exactly what the rodents are looking for and have a luring effect to draw them in.
