The Quadro Mouse Station offers pest managers four configuration options, allowing for optimal rodent catch rates.
For pest managers, having effective solutions to manage mouse infestations is critical. A potential outbreak can cause major issues, ranging from damage to building infrastructure through to compromising health and safety standards. With increasing regulatory and customer requests to reduce bait and glueboard usage, trapping is fast becoming an important component of rodent control programs. It is therefore important for pest managers to have a closer look at optimal trapping options.
Quadro manufactured by Pelsis Group is Europe’s first four-trap-capable tamper resistant mouse station, which allows pest managers to catch more mice, quicker. The four-in-one trap solution is the result of significant investment in research and development by Pelsis Group, a UK-based company. The Quadro offers four notable benefits: multi-trap functionality, flexibility of layout, discreet design and a glueboard alternative.
In areas with high levels of mouse activity, common sense dictates that more traps are required to ensure an increase in catch rates. With this, however, comes the consideration of how many traps need to be laid and in what position they should be placed across an area where a pest issue is prevalent. Having a larger number of individual traps set up across a specific area may become unsightly, and also cause potential safety risks to anyone who is living or working in the space. The Quadro gives pest managers the benefit of a multi-layout format, which means up to four traps can be set at any one time within the confines of the bait station.
Having solutions that are designed with flexibility in mind to meet different environments and requirements is key when it comes to controlling mice. The Quadro’s unique and patented partition system gives the option to change the internal layout of the station to suit the particular circumstances. For example, the station can accommodate four traps in one go, as well as two traps either side-byside or lengthways next to each other depending on what level of catch is required. Quadro is not just a trap station; it also allows for bait to be placed vertically or horizontally, based on the trap setup of the station.
The sight of a mouse trap can create negative feelings in observers, especially in more ‘pedestrianised’ areas that see high levels of footfall. This can be heightened further if a high number of traps are set within public viewing. The innovative design of the Quadro allows for a discreet and effective approach. The tamper-resistant station means the traps and bait are enclosed within the plastic casing, meaning they are out of sight.
The use of glueboards has, historically, been an effective approach to catching rodents. However, as legislation tightens regarding the use of glueboards and accreditations are increasingly required to use these kinds of traps, reliable alternatives are needed. With its ability to have up to four traps set in varying configurations, the Quadro can provide fast and efficient mouse control that rivals the performance of traditional traps.
Using a unique and patented design, the Quadro offers true versatility, allowing users to adapt their hardware to different circumstances and requirements. Plus, with multiple bait rod locations and height-matched ramps, the multi-trap station is designed to deliver optimum catch rates and prevent any potential infestations.
