Walk into any commercial facility and what do you see? The metal multi-catch traps by doors and other entry points and placed along walls. This has long been the standard for rodent management in commercial sites. While these traps are capable of catching mice, as with any tool, there are drawbacks to their use.
Multi-catch traps are designed to catch mice that enter a facility and sprint down the edge of the wall. They require strategic placement, holes lined up on the floor-wall junction and constant cleaning to work properly. In a commercial facility, these traps can take a beating. People may kick them, push them out of place and bang them with trash bins and other small equipment. Heavy equipment, like forklifts and floor cleaners, can run over them, drop pallets and push dirt and debris into them. Multi-catch traps must stand up to a lot of potential abuse that can make them inefficient or, worse, unable to intercept the mice they are supposed to catch. This results in replacement costs and callbacks when mice find their way deeper into sites.
The new EZ Kat multi-catch trap is a state-of-the-art and highly durable device from VM Products. This trap has many advanced features that make it highly effective, longer lasting and versatile.
It is made with sturdy plastic and designed with rounded edges. This way, it can withstand weights dropped from above and being crushed from the side. It stays in place and operational despite the harsh conditions of commercial facilities. Those harsh conditions often include washdowns, wet areas and dirty conditions. The plastic construction means no rusting, so the external hinges stay working. Since there are no internal moving parts to get coated with product or debris, they don’t get stuck, thus preventing mice from entering. These traps need replacement much less often, saving you and your customer money and time.
The EZ Kat is easy to service and clean. It has a push-lock button to open the trap and opens from left to right instead of front to back. This allows for greater access and easy servicing in tight spaces. The trapping mechanism is on the top lid so the bottom inside space can be easily cleaned. It accommodates a standard glue board that conveniently traps the mice after they fall from the elevated ramps and easily lifts out for cleaning and replacement.
When using multi-catch devices in any account, it helps to have them working efficiently and able to withstand adverse conditions. This makes them much more valuable and creates happy customers by quickly catching intruding mice. Upgrade your multi-catch traps today!
