Q & A

A vole is a small, stout-bodied rodent that closely resembles a mouse but typically features a shorter tail, a rounder head, and smaller ears. Voles are often referred to as "meadow mice" or "field mice".

Voles become a problem through foraging though your garden in search of food. Voles like to eat roots, stems, bulbs and bark all of which are essential to the survival of the plant and the vole; which would you prefer in your garden?

The Rodent Wrangler is the first and only vole specific trap on the market while also being the only fully contained snare trap on the market.

A snare trap is one of the oldest types of trap originally designed around a bent tree limb for spring force, a small stick to act as a trigger and some form of fiber or wire. When the trigger is moved from place the spring force quickly tightens the fiber or wire around the animal.

when a vole runs through the lower hoops and snare wire disturbing the lower hoop the trigger drops free releasing the spring which carries the snare upwards into the vole with sufficient force to ethically remove the vole from this world.

The Rodent Wrangler is designed specifically around the trail systems that voles build. Voles, like most rodents, don't like open spaces where they become an easier target for predators and as such prefer the relative safety of their trail systems. Through minimal intrusion into their trail system the voles still feel a sense of security and comfort using the existing trails until they end up running right into the trap.

The Rodent Wrangler is designed around maximizing placement opportunities. it can be set in the middle of a vole trail, it can be set in front of a hole, it can be set along the bottom edge of a wall, it can really be set anywhere that your creativity can come up with as long as the cap above the spring can make its full travel.

Yes it most definitely is, see the section on why its made of plastic one bullet point down.

The choice was made to manufacture the Rodent Wrangler from plastic for three primary reasons; longevity, weather resistance and ease of production. Existing flat board style traps warp, curl and bind when exposed to moisture. The Rodent Wrangler can sit outside in all weather conditions without detrimental effects. Through our real world testing the Rodent Wrangler was rained on, snowed on, rained on then frozen solid, hit with high winds, exposed to ambient air temperatures from -40F to 100F, and hit with at least one lawn mower in which the Rodent Wrangler finally met its end; until the mower hit it the trap was still reusable nearly indefinitely.

The Rodent Wrangler, as simply put as possible, is a rodent trap meant to kill voles. While it is intended for killing voles it is "people safe" when used properly per the instructions and is in no way intended to be used by children for entertainment purposes. THIS TRAP IS NOT A TOY. As to the "pet safe" aspect just avoid leaving a set Rodent Wrangler in the enclosure with your hamster, gerbil, mouse, or other small mammal; anything guinea pig sized or larger will be too fat for the trap.

You in no way shape or form should have to touch the dead vole to remove it from the trap.

Corpse removal can be achieved through compressing the spring cap towards the frame of the trap thus loosening the snare and causing the deceased critter to fall into the garbage can you hopefully placed earlier.

The Rodent Wrangler is poison free and relies on pure mechanical manipulation of the vole to achieve its goal.

You can keep using and reusing the Rodent Wrangler until either it isn't possible to set because it keeps setting itself off or until it has literally fallen apart.

I shouldn't have to tell you not to run over anything other than lawn with your mower but in the instance that you do manage to run over a Rodent Wrangler your mower should be fine though definitely keep an eye out for shrapnel as it is instantly dismantled beyond repair. Remember your mower already says you should wear eye-protection while operating it.

hold your horses, we're working on it.

there is a plan to make a packrat/gopher sized unit in the near future.

no we have not made a plan to build a Rodent Wrangler for capybaras, beavers or nutria. Before you ask, no there is not a trap in the works for the Rabbit of Caerbannog either.

The Rodent Wrangler is manufactured in Belgrade Montana with materials sourced from North America.

If you have to ask just don't do it. We don't need the lawsuit and we DEFINITELY don't need photographic evidence of whatever you may or may not have put in the Rodent Wrangler.

There most certainly will be, if you have a recipe suggestion please send it to (insert e-mail here) with a name and address so we can send you a trap and shirt if we choose to use your recipe on our packaging.
