PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT – PROTECTA® EVO® Tunnel™
In professional pest control, safety is more than a best practice, it is a requirement. The PROTECTA® EVO® Tunnel™ from Bell Laboratories was designed with that principle in mind, offering tamper-resistant, secure housing for a range of rodent traps in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Originally developed through a consultative project to prevent trap access by a specific native bird species, the EVO Tunnel has since become the go-to protective housing for snap traps across diverse environments worldwide.
Economical and versatile, the tunnel protects traps from unintended access, keeping non-target animals, children, and the public safe. This is especially important at sensitive accounts such as schools, commercial sites, parks, and any public access areas.
Designed to enhance both safety and performance, the EVO Tunnel guides rodents to engage the secure traps head-on, improving strike precision and virtually eliminating false captures.
For best results, position the tunnel along active rodent pathways and allow a few days for rodents to become familiar, before installing traps. This helps reduce neophobia, particularly common in rats, and increases capture rates.
The EVO Tunnel can be mounted vertically or horizontally using cable ties, allowing easy attachment to fences, pipes, beams or buildings. Its rugged design protects traps from weather, foot traffic, and curious hands, paws, or beaks.
It accommodates two TRAPPER® T-Rex® or T-Rex iQ® rat snap traps, or smaller devices like TRAPPER® Mini-Rex™ mouse traps, TRAPPER® Mouse Glue Trays, or TRAPPER® Max glue boards, offering added flexibility across account types.
With quick access via the PROTECTA EVO® key and stackable convenience, it’s also built with technician efficiency in mind.
When the EVO Tunnel is paired with the TRAPPER® T-Rex® or T-Rex iQ®, the snap traps meet NAWAC animal welfare standards, considered among the most stringent and globally recognised guidelines for humane rodent control.
For pest professionals focused on an effective, responsible, and safe service delivery, the EVO Tunnel is a smart addition to any rodent control program.
