With the arrival of cooler weather, temperatures drop and rodent invasions multiply. In search of warmth, shelter, and food, rats migrate en masse to agricultural and livestock buildings. Terwagne, a store specializing in pest traps, presents the DétruiRAT and its many advantages: an innovative electric trap to help you effectively get rid of rats in livestock.
Why fight against rodents in agricultural and livestock buildings?
As winter approaches, rats and other rodents actively seek warmth and food. Livestock buildings, farms, and even barns offer them an ideal refuge.
However, their presence poses a significant health and material risk. In fact, rats transmit numerous diseases, contaminate food intended for animals, and damage electrical installations as well as insulating structures. These pests can thus cause livestock contamination and, indirectly, endanger human health.
For farmers, getting rid of rats in livestock farming is therefore an absolute priority to preserve the health of animals and the safety of buildings.
DétruiRAT: an innovative electric rat trap
When traditional rat poisons are no longer sufficient, an innovative and quick solution is required: the DétruiRAT electric trap.
Designed and manufactured in Belgium, this professional rat trap is ideal for combating rodents in agricultural buildings. Unlike traditional solutions, it does not spread any chemicals or poisons, making it completely safe for pets, livestock, and non-target birds.
The DétruiRAT is sold with a power supply and its stainless steel design ensures a long lifespan and optimal resistance to the most demanding agricultural conditions. Its principle is simple: attracted by a non-toxic bait, the rat enters the device and receives a 6,000-volt electric shock, ensuring instant and painless elimination.
The DétruiRAT is available in several versions to suit every need:
- DétruiRAT Mini-Socket 6,000 V: compact and practical, it captures one rodent at a time.
- DétruiRAT Maxi-Sockets 6,000 V BV2: designed for large spaces, it features an automatic rearming system and a retrieval tray allowing for the capture of several rats per night.
Versatile and effective, the DétruiRAT adapts to all livestock configurations and allows the elimination of rats from agricultural buildings, regardless of their size or infestation level. The lithium battery is sold as an option.
Tips for effectively getting rid of rats in livestock farming
Even with an efficient trap, prevention remains essential. To limit the presence of rodents in livestock buildings:
- Carefully seal all openings and cracks that may serve as passageways for them.
- Store food in airtight containers, protected from moisture.
- Regularly maintain the surroundings of buildings to eliminate refuge areas.
- Vary control methods: combining DétruiRAT with other rat traps enhances protection and improves overall efficiency.
