Why is rodent control difficult?

• Early signs are subtle (occasional sightings, droppings) and escalate fast.
• Rats/mice are cautious eaters (neophobia) and avoid unfamiliar foods.
• Success depends on the right lure, location, and pre-feeding.

At first you may spot a rat or mouse and think nothing of it. Days later, droppings appear. Soon you’re finding chewed wires, holes in walls, torn food packaging, and nesting damage—evidence that you’re dealing with many rodents, not one.

Rodents are clever and selective. They’re wary of unfamiliar food (neophobia) and may take days or weeks to trust it. Rats in particular may even smell a companion’s breath to confirm a new food is safe (documented behavior).

That’s why an effective attractant paste, tested feeding locations (use Lure Taster Cards), and strategic pre-feeding are critical before placing a quick-kill trap.

Rodent control the Smart-er way

The A24 Rat & Mouse Trap is a proven quick-kill, toxin-free solution that’s safe around kids and pets—and safer for wildlife.

The new A24 Smart Trap Kit adds helpful tech: it auto-resets after each strike, keeps lure fresh, and connects to the Goodnature app for kill alerts. After 24 kills, you’ll get a reminder to replace the CO₂ canister and paste. It’s A-Class humane-rated.

By contrast, snap traps, rodenticides, and glue traps are cruel and risky. With A24, scavengers can safely remove carcasses outdoors; indoors, the portable stand makes disposal easy.

A24 Smart Trap Kit features

• Smarter tracking: The Smart Cap counts strikes and syncs via Bluetooth for kill notifications and twice-a-year refill reminders.
• Works anywhere: Field-tested for garages, attics, kitchens, yards, barns, and even fragile ecosystems.
• 100% toxin-free: Irresistible rodent paste, safe for kids, pets, and wildlife; auto-dispenses for up to six months.
