Frequently Asked Questions

What material are these boxes made from?

They are made from PETG HF filament using a 3D printer. This material is rated for outdoor use and can withstand extreme weather conditions and temperatures up to 170°F, similar to ABS.

Why are the boxes made using a 3D printer?

The main reason is the keyless, tamper-proof lid. Creating this through traditional tooling would have been complicated and costly. 3D printing made it much simpler and more practical.

Are the boxes guaranteed?

Yes! While there may be a few minor imperfections, the box functions the same as one made from ABS. Most imperfections occur in the arches or on the lid surface.

Are the mouse traps 3D printed?

No.

Why are sunflower seeds used as bait?

Rodents prefer nuts, and sunflower seeds are an excellent choice because they:

• Do not decay
• Are not eaten by ants (unlike peanut butter or cheese)
• Last for months as bait

Can poison bait be used in the hopper?

No. Poison bait should never be used for killing rodents. Here’s why.
