Autonomous, poison-free protection that detects, humanely dispatches, and seals away rodents on its own โ then resets in about 60 seconds. No toxic poisons, no suffering on glue traps, no daily checks.
Thousands of hours of field testing across severe Canadian winter and summer conditions.
Proprietary cervical dislocation technology protected by international patents.
No rodenticides or poisons. Compatible with organic certification standards (NOP & COR).
Covered against defects in materials and craftsmanship. Ships from BC within 24h.
Traditional traps haven't fundamentally changed in over a century. Homeowners are left choosing between toxic poisons, gruesome snap traps, and ongoing service calls.
Traditional snap traps catch one rodent and sit disarmed until you inspect them. If three mice enter on a cold autumn evening, two roam freely inside your walls while you sleep.
Glue boards leave rodents stuck and panicking for days, dying slowly from dehydration and distress. They are widely recognized as unnecessarily cruel by animal welfare organizations.
Nobody wants to pry open bloodied snap traps, unstick glue pads, or handle carcasses. Pathogen vectors like hantavirus remain a genuine health concern for homeowners.
Anticoagulant rodenticides take days to take effect. Rodents crawl into insulation to die and decompose for weeks, while poisoned prey poses lethal risks to domestic dogs and cats.
Whether you need whole-home perimeter coverage, targeted under-counter protection, or heavy-duty commercial eradication, choose the right Nabber for your space.
Compact profile engineered specifically for restricted, narrow spots.
Built for rats, squirrels and other larger rodents: a stronger, high-capacity multi-catch system.
Engineered for true "set and leave" autonomy. No proprietary gas cylinders, no special lure purchases, and no complicated wiring.
Install 6x AA batteries and add a dab of any kitchen attractant (like peanut butter) to the bait chamber. Flip the power switch โ the LED flashes green, confirming it is armed and monitoring.
Passive optical sensors detect when a rodent enters. The patented mechanical cervical dislocation bar activates instantaneously, delivering rapid veterinary-endorsed euthanasia without chemicals or prolonged suffering.
The mechanism safely drops the rodent into a sealed internal holding compartment and automatically resets itself within about one minute. The LED indicator pulses BLUE so you know a catch occurred without opening it.
See how the dual passive optical sensors trigger instant humane cervical dislocation, contain the carcass in a sealed holding drawer, and automatically reset in approximately 60 seconds.
Mice seek shelter in dark, quiet, temperature-stable spots where humans rarely go every day. Nabber Mini was built specifically for these environments.
Hard-to-reach service voids where nobody checks daily traps. Nabber operates unattended for months, preventing mice from chewing wires and nesting.
Set Once ยท Check Seasonally
Vehicle engines, lawn equipment, and storage boxes attract nesting mice in fall. Nabber protects your equipment perimeter without messy poisons.
Pet-Safe Mechanical Enclosure
Left vacant for months over winter. Single-catch traps fail after day one, while poisons result in unbearable odours when you return in spring.
Autonomous Multi-Month Duty
Poisons and chemical pellets are completely unacceptable around dry food storage. Nabber delivers continuous mechanical hygiene.
100% Food-Safe & Non-Toxic
Nabber Mini was designed in British Columbia to solve the mechanical failure points that plague cheap plastic traps.
Unlike CO2 cartridge systems that cost $15โ$25 for proprietary gas cylinders and lure pouches, Nabber Mini uses standard AA batteries and any kitchen bait.
The strike bar is housed entirely within a baffled internal tunnel. The baffled tunnel keeps curious pets well clear of the mechanism.
Green pulse indicates armed & monitoring. Blue pulse tells you a rodent is contained inside. Red alert tells you when batteries need replacing.

Why cheap traps end up costing more. When you account for disposable units, ongoing poison refills, and proprietary gas cylinders, Nabber delivers the lowest long-term cost.
Nabber technology has been vetted by leading veterinarians and certified Canadian entomologists.
"Cervical dislocation is the gold standard for rapid, humane rodent euthanasia. A mechanical device that delivers this consistently, without operator skill variability, is a meaningful advancement for both field and research applications."
"The value proposition is straightforward โ no chemical handling, and a unit that tells you when it needs attention. This changes the economics of rodent control."
"Secondary poisoning from rodenticides remains one of the most persistent threats to non-target wildlife. A mechanical alternative that removes that risk entirely โ while containing the toxic carcass โ is exactly what conservation-sensitive environments need."
Nabber Systems Inc. is headquartered in Kelowna, BC. We developed the Nabber Mini to withstand the extremes of our climate โ from freezing prairie sub-zeros to humid coastal rain.
By testing directly with agricultural partners, universities, and commercial facilities across Canada, we've built a hardware tool that homeowners can rely on without calling an exterminator.
Field trial deployment in commercial facility testing for efficacy and pathogen containment.

Everything you need to know about setting up, maintaining, and using Nabber Mini in your home.
Nabber Mini uses a patented cervical dislocation impact bar that targets the cervical vertebrae to deliver an instant, humane outcome in milliseconds. This is the gold-standard euthanasia method recommended by veterinary organisations and research facilities, avoiding both prolonged suffering and chemical contamination.
Yes! After a rodent is dispatched, the mechanism drops the carcass into the sealed internal chamber and completely resets itself within approximately one minute. The unit is immediately ready for the next rodent without requiring any human intervention.
No. Nabber Mini deposits carcasses into an enclosed internal storage chamber. When you are ready to empty the unit, you simply open the rear release hatch directly over a waste receptacle or compost bag โ you never have to touch or unclip a rodent directly.
Nabber Mini operates on 6 standard AA batteries. Under typical residential operating conditions, expect 3 to 6 months of battery life. In passive monitoring mode, power consumption is minimal. The LED will flash red when battery voltage eventually drops, signalling it's time for a quick replacement.
You can use any bait that works in your environment. Household staples such as peanut butter, hazelnut spread, or sunflower seed paste work exceptionally well. Nabber requires no proprietary, expensive bait cartridges โ use what you have in your pantry.
Nabber contains no rodenticides or chemical poisons, so there is no risk of secondary poisoning to curious dogs, cats, or birds of prey, and the strike mechanism sits inside a baffled tunnel. It is safer than snap traps, glue traps, and poisons, but it is not childproof: Nabber shouldn't be placed around kids, and small fingers inside will get a whack they won't forget. Keep it out of reach of children, place it where pets can't tamper with it, and power it off before handling. A protective cage accessory is planned.
We provide straightforward shipping rates: $20 CAD flat-rate shipping for orders of 1โ3 units, and FREE shipping on all orders containing 4 or more units. In-stock units ship within 24 hours on business days from British Columbia, and you will receive tracking information via email upon dispatch.
Every Nabber device includes a 1-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty covering defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. If you experience an issue, our Canadian customer care team is available directly at info@nabbertraps.com.
Replace the headache of single-catch snap traps and toxic chemicals with the only trap that monitors, dispatches, and resets itself for up to 6 months.
