If my counter or Smart Cap reads less than 24 at six months do I have to replace the CO2?

The Smart Trap can trigger up to 24 times per CO2 canister. In saying this, we recommend replacing your paste and CO2 canister every six months whether or not your Digital Counter or Smart Cap indicates 24 kills.

By following our guidelines you will ensure your Smart Trap has enough pressure to deliver a humane kill whenever a pest enters the trap, and remains in top shape. It will also ensure you remain covered by our manufacturer’s warranty which is valid for 2 years from the date of purchase.

The CO2 canisters have been designed to provide 24 fires over a six month period. Due to permeation there is natural gas loss over time - think car tyres which lose air slowly. Although you can’t know the exact amount of CO2 left in the trap at any given time you can ensure the trap doesn’t run out of gas by sticking to the six month replacement recommendation.

It’s best to replace your CO2 canister and paste at the same time so you know your trap is always ready and will provide you with constant control.
