Mouse and Rat Classic Snap Trap Keltin (model 140) — mechanical pest control trap

The Keltin Mouse and Rat Classic Snap Trap (model 140) is a mechanical pest control device designed for capturing small rodents with a spring-loaded snap mechanism. Built for straightforward use, the trap provides a single-action catch that operates without batteries or electronics. It is suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations such as homes, garages and storage areas where mice or rats may appear. The design prioritizes durability and repeated use: the trap resets after cleaning and re-baiting and does not require specialized tools to operate.

Advantages

The Keltin classic snap trap offers a rapid mechanical action that aims to shorten capture time. Its simple construction makes it easy to set and clean, and the device can be reused multiple times, reducing ongoing replacement costs. Because it is purely mechanical, it functions reliably in areas without power and is not affected by electronic interference. The compact profile of the trap allows placement in narrow gaps and along walls where rodents typically travel.
