- The Rentokil Rat Cage Trap is a strong, reusable, and humane live-capture solution for managing rats and other small mammals. Constructed from robust metal mesh with a secure locking mechanism, this cage trap is ideal for use in homes, gardens, sheds, farms, or commercial premises where chemical-free pest control is preferred.
