Viper®: Professional Rodent & Insect Control Station

An industry leading rat snap trap that when paired with the EZ Set Indicators shows yellow when set and black when caught, readable service inspections can be done without opening the station.

Viper® Product Overview

The VM Innovation Lab developed Viper Rat Trap brings long wished for jaw trap features to life. Unmatched trigger response, consistently powerful closure and spring strength, strength building glass filled polypropylene make the Viper best in class. Stand alone or placed inside a trapping station with an Airzonix® monitor and EZ Set Indicators, the Viper® delivers exceptional performance. Patent pending.

The built-in indicator shows yellow when the trap is set and turns black when the trap has been activated, and because the indicator rod is visible from outside the station, a technician can read catch status at a glance and decide whether to open the box at all.

The Viper is engineered to set inside EZ Secured®, EZ Klean®, and EZ Versa™ stations, includes adhesive putty and a plastic plug for mounting. The Viper delivers reliable mechanical rat control for food plants, audited accounts, and any program where rodenticide is restricted. Pair it with an Airzonix® cap for non-food attraction and you have a clean, documentable, snap only system.

Where and How to Use

Proven mechanical rat control, used primarily inside VM bait stations. The set and catch indicator is visible from outside the station.
