Istruzioni di installazione

Follow these steps to correctly set up your Goodnature A24 trap:

  1. Assemble the Trap: Attach the A24 trap securely to the provided trap stand or tree mount. Ensure it is firmly in place.
  2. Install CO2 Canister: Screw the CO2 gas canister into the trap. Hand-tighten until snug. The trap is now live.
  3. Attach Digital Strike Counter: Twist the digital strike counter onto the CO2 canister in a counter-clockwise direction. Ensure the counter faces away from the trap's opening.
  4. Activate Automatic Lure Pump (ALP): Remove the 10-cent coin from the top of the Automatic Lure Pump to activate it.
  5. Apply Lure: Place the ALP inside the shroud cap first, then remove the lid. Squeeze a small amount of lure onto the bottom of the trap stand to attract rodents. This pre-baiting helps familiarize rodents with the lure.
  6. Secure Shroud Cap: Secure the shroud cap to the trap.
  7. Prova la trappola: Safely test the trap by touching the trigger using a twig or similar object. The digital counter should register a strike.
  8. Place Lure Tasters: Fold the lure tasters in half and place them in various locations where rodent activity is suspected. This further familiarizes rodents with the lure.

Istruzioni per l'uso

The Goodnature A24 trap operates automatically once set up. It uses a CO2 canister to power a striking mechanism that humanely dispatches rodents. The Automatic Lure Pump continuously dispenses fresh lure to attract pests.

Posizionamento ottimale

Choose sheltered locations where rodents feel safe and are likely to frequent. Good locations include:

  • Ceiling spaces
  • Garage
  • Capannoni
  • Gardens (near woodpiles or dense foliage)
  • Kitchen cupboards (if indoors)
  • Under decks and houses

Look for signs of rodent activity such as droppings or gnaw marks to identify the best placement spots. If lure tasters show bite marks, that indicates a high-traffic area for rodents.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures the continued effectiveness of your A24 trap:

  • Check Digital Strike Counter: Periodically check the digital strike counter to monitor activity. To reset the counter to zero, hold the button down for three seconds.
  • Replace CO2 Canister: Each CO2 canister provides approximately 24 strikes. Replace the canister when the trap stops firing or the counter indicates 24 strikes.
  • Replace Automatic Lure Pump (ALP): The ALP continuously dispenses lure for up to six months. Replace the lure pump every six months or sooner if it appears empty or less effective.
  • Clean Trap: Keep the trap clean from debris and old lure to maintain its attractiveness and functionality.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If your Goodnature A24 trap is not performing as expected, consider the following:

  • No Catches in First Few Days: If you do not catch any rodents within the first couple of days, move the trap to a different location. Rodents are creatures of habit, and finding their active pathways is crucial. Utilize lure tasters to identify high-traffic areas.
  • Trap Not Firing: Ensure the CO2 canister is correctly installed and not empty. A full canister should allow for 24 strikes. Replace if necessary.
  • Lure Not Attracting: Ensure the Automatic Lure Pump is activated and dispensing lure. If the lure is old or appears dry, replace the ALP. Some users find success with alternative lures like peanut butter, which can be smeared around the trap entrance.
  • Rodents Avoiding Trap: Ensure the trap is placed in a sheltered, discreet location where rodents feel safe. Avoid open, exposed areas.
