Choosing a top-quality product is sometimes difficult, especially when it comes to rat traps that are known to be effective and safe. Fortunately, you may have heard of the Cap Gajah brand. This Indonesian original offers two varieties of Cap Gajah glue and one trap that is known to work well. Here's a look.  

Three Top Products from the Cap Gajah Brand

  1. Mechanical Trap
This product is one of the newest items from Cap Gajah. It is called a mechanical trap because it uses spring power to catch rats. What sets it apart from other traps is its strong, blunt jaws, which are safe to use. This is a plus, since users don't have to feel disgusted by what they catch. A trapped rat will not leave bloodstains. Instead, it is clamped tightly and dies instantly. The product is also made of waterproof plastic, so you can easily rinse it with water and use it again.
  1. Board-Shaped Glue Trap
If you prefer something other than a mechanical trap, you shouldn't overlook a glue-style trap. Similar products are often found on the market, but only Cap Gajah glue turns out to offer the best formula. The formula consists of a glue base that is odorless and colorless. Compared with items from other brands, this formula turns out to be effective at luring rodents. A rat that crosses the board will get stuck instantly thanks to the strong adhesive. Combined with the board's design, this top product offers a practical advantage. You only need to open the seal or plastic wrapper. Inside the packaging, which looks like thin cardboard, the strong glue is already applied. Simply open it wide and place bait right in the middle of the box. After that, you can throw it away once it has caught a pesky rat.
  1. Tube-Style Glue Trap
If you want a more economical option, this tube-packaged product is a must-buy. Packaged like toothpaste, it lets you squeeze glue onto a sheet of plywood or another hard board. Use a circular motion so the glue spreads evenly. Next, place the bait in the middle of the Cap Gajah glue. Once the glue is spread evenly, make sure to put the glue board in an area where rats are common. When the glue has caught these rodents, you can throw away the board and glue together. Any leftover glue can be saved for future use. Locally made Indonesian products are sometimes questioned for their effectiveness due to poor production. That is not the case with the long-established Cap Gajah brand. The brand, known for its elephant icon, offers three trusted products for eradicating rat pests. The products you can choose from are the tube glue, the board glue, and the mechanical trap.
