Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Nabber trap mechanics, battery life, humane euthanasia, pathogen containment, commercial clearance, and facility compliance.
NOTE: For baiting related questions, see the Nabber Mini Baiting Guide.
Nabber uses a cervical dislocation impact bar that targets the cervical vertebrae to deliver an instant, humane outcome. It is the euthanasia method recommended by veterinary and animal welfare organisations and used as standard in research facilities.
Battery life and reset cycles are linked — as activity increases, the unit activates more frequently and battery life decreases accordingly. Under normal operating conditions expect 3–6 months of battery life per set of batteries.
Any bait or attractant that works in your environment. There are many commercially available options, and simple kitchen staples like peanut butter work well. Rodents are naturally inquisitive — they will investigate something new regardless. Experiment and use what you know works for your clients and conditions.
The units are sized specifically for their target species — mice for the Mini, rats for the Multi. For best results deploy in confined, sheltered, shaded areas where rodents are likely to be dominant and access by other species is limited.
Nabber operates across all temperature ranges. Keep units out of direct and prolonged moisture exposure — sheltered placement is recommended in all environments.
Rodents are vectors for a range of serious pathogens transmitted through direct contact with carcasses, urine, and droppings, such as the hantavirus. Nabber euthanizes and stores the carcass internally, minimizing handler exposure and keeping contaminated remains contained until serviced. Standard PPE protocols still apply when emptying the unit.
Yes. Nabber is cleared for commercial use in both the US and Canada.
The Mini targets mice — smaller, lighter, and designed to fit into tight spaces like suspended ceilings, wall voids, and confined service areas. The Multi is sized for rats but also effective on mice — larger, slightly heavier, and suited to open floor placements, perimeter runs, and agricultural environments.
Nothing immediately. Nabber euthanizes and stores the carcass internally. Check periodically to refresh bait, confirm battery status via the LED indicator, and empty the carcass drawer as needed.
Nabber is a mechanical device — it contains no chemicals, rodenticides, or synthetic inputs. It is compatible with organic certification standards including NOP (US) and COR (Canada). We recommend confirming with your certifier, but no organic protocol prohibits mechanical trapping.
Yes. Nabber uses no rodenticides or chemicals, eliminating secondary contamination risk. It is well suited to HACCP environments where chemical pest control creates compliance complexity.
No. Nabber requires no pesticide licensing or chemical handling certification. Standard deployment procedures apply.
All Nabber products carry a one year warranty.
