PRESS RELEASE
At PestEx 2026, X-Pest will introduce the MK47 Automatic Rodent Trap, a professional-grade mechanical trapping solution developed to meet the evolving requirements of modern pest management.
As regulatory scrutiny and public expectations around humane rodent control continue to increase, pest control professionals are seeking effective alternatives to traditional snap traps and rodenticides.
The MK47 has been designed to address these needs by combining fast dispatch performance with a fully enclosed mechanical strike system that improves both animal welfare and operator safety.
The MK47 delivers a consistent and instantaneous kill through a high-energy mechanical mechanism, helping to minimise suffering and ensuring reliable results across repeated uses.
Unlike open snap traps, the enclosed design reduces the risk of accidental contact during inspection and servicing, supporting safer working practices for technicians operating in commercial, industrial, and domestic environments.
Built for professional use, the MK47 features a robust housing that protects internal components from dust, moisture, and environmental impact.
This makes the trap suitable for deployment in a wide range of locations, including food production facilities, warehouses, agricultural buildings, and external service areas.
The reusable design supports long service life and helps reduce waste compared to disposable trapping solutions.
Ease of servicing is another key consideration. The MK47 can be reset quickly without specialised tools, reducing time spent on-site and improving operational efficiency for pest control companies managing multiple locations.
As part of an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, the trap allows operators to maintain effective control while reducing reliance on chemical treatments.
The MK47 platform also supports optional smart monitoring integration, enabling remote status reporting and trigger alerts.
This capability can help pest management professionals optimise service schedules, reduce unnecessary site visits, and improve documentation for audit and compliance purposes.
By combining humane performance, durability, and a safety-focused design, the MK47 Automatic Rodent Trap provides a practical solution for pest control professionals responding to changing regulatory, environmental, and customer expectations.
