Description | An oblong grey box with a sliding trap door at the front that falls shut. As the rat eats the bait in the chamber, it disturbs a string near the bait. This causes a stick on the lid to release the trap door, which then falls shut. There is a wire metal handle on the lid and metal nails in the box. |
