Are there any special instructions for cleaning Havahart traps?

Cleaning Havahart traps is an important step to ensure their longevity and effectiveness. After each use, it is advisable to clean the traps to remove any odors that might deter future catches. To clean the traps, one should use warm soapy water and a soft brush to scrub the surfaces. Pay special attention to the bait area, as leftover bait can attract unwanted pests and may also create odors that deter animals. After washing the traps, it is important to rinse them thoroughly to eliminate any soap residue. Allow the traps to dry completely before storage or reuse. For deeper cleaning, one can also use a diluted vinegar solution, which helps remove any stubborn odors. Once the traps are clean and dry, they should be stored in a dry place until they are needed again. Regular maintenance will not only help maintain their functionality but also improve the experience for anyone using them.
