The short answer
Rats in your Vancouver yard or laneway? Start with 2–4 enclosed traps.
Rats run the same routes along fences, garages, decks and garbage or compost bins. Place two to four enclosed traps against those edges, bait with a little peanut butter and check daily.
Our trap has two entry points and a 24 g+ trigger, sized for Norway rats (about 200–510 g) and roof rats (about 140–285 g). No poison, and reusable.

Backyard set-up
How to trap rats in a Vancouver backyard
- 01
Find the runways
Rats travel along edges, not across open lawn. Look for droppings and rub marks along fence lines, shed walls, under deck edges and around compost and garbage bins.
- 02
Place 2–4 traps
Set traps flat against the wall or fence with an entry facing the runway. Dual entries mean a rat can come in from either side. Start with a 2- or 4-pack.
- 03
Bait lightly
A pea-sized dab of peanut butter in the bait cup works best. Rotate the cup open, add bait, then press until it clicks into the set position.
- 04
Check daily
Check every morning, wear gloves, empty and reset. The trap is reusable — clean it and put it back on the same runway.
Safety: place traps where children and pets can’t reach them, and away from areas wildlife uses. Use them in sheltered spots (against a shed, under a deck edge) rather than open, exposed ground. For a large or ongoing infestation, contact a licensed pest-control company — ZIVASKA sells traps but does not offer pest-control services.
Choosing a trap
Enclosed tunnel trap vs. open snap trap outdoors
Glue boards are for mice and insects indoors, not rats. For rats outside, use an enclosed mechanical trap.

Vancouver questions
Rat traps in Vancouver: FAQ
Where can I buy rat traps in Vancouver?
Order ZIVASKA dual-tunnel rat traps online at zivaska.ca with free shipping across Canada — they ship from Burnaby. Pickup in Burnaby is also available by appointment (call 778-758-2112).
Do you deliver to Vancouver?
Yes, with free shipping on every order, no minimum. Delivery options and timing are shown at checkout for your postal code.
Do the traps work outdoors in the rain?
They’re made for sheltered outdoor spots — against fences, sheds, decks, garages and around bins. The ABS housing is rust- and rot-proof. Avoid leaving them on open, exposed ground.
Are they safe around kids and pets?
No trap should be within reach of children or pets. Place them in spots kids and pets can’t get to. The enclosed design keeps the snap mechanism inside the housing, but it is still a powerful trap.
Will it catch mice too?
It’s sized for rats and larger house mice. For small house mice indoors, use ZIVASKA sticky glue traps instead.
Do you offer pest-control service?
No. ZIVASKA sells traps only. For a large or ongoing infestation, contact a licensed pest-control company.
