Versatile small articulated loader

Other features of these models include:

• Standard lift path options for loading and other tasks.
• Mechanical self-leveling for consistent load handling.

Automatic and Bluetooth-enabled mouse traps

When rats or mice come calling, there’s never just one. Goodnature Rat & Mouse Traps have everything needed to get on top of any rodent problem, with rat and mouse traps that are automatic, nontoxic and deliver a quick and humane kill.

Traditional traps require constant checking and resetting. They can have environmentally damaging chemicals and a high risk of secondary poisoning to livestock, pets and children, and use inefficient killing methods.

Goodnature Rat & Mouse Traps automatically reset themselves, killing pests one after another, dispensing fresh paste for six months. They kill up to 24 pests before you need to replace the CO2 or paste. Goodnature pastes are completely toxin-free; there’s no risk of secondary poisoning, making them safe to use around pets, wildlife and children. They deliver an instant and humane kill.

The Goodnature Smart Cap is compatible with all Goodnature A24 traps. The Smart Cap records each time a pest is killed — including the day, time and air temperature, updating the app via Bluetooth when you visit your trap for maintenance.
