TL;DR
A snap trap grid is a deliberate array of mechanical rodent traps placed at mapped intervals along walls, runways, and entry points, rather than a few traps scattered at random. Technicians space them every 8 to 12 feet for mice (closer in heavy activity), set them perpendicular to walls with triggers facing the baseboard, and log each position so catches reveal travel patterns.
What it means
A snap trap grid is a deliberate array of mechanical rodent traps placed at mapped intervals along walls, runways, and entry points, rather than a few traps scattered at random. Technicians space them every 8 to 12 feet for mice (closer in heavy activity), set them perpendicular to walls with triggers facing the baseboard, and log each position so catches reveal travel patterns. The layout converts trapping from guesswork into measurable monitoring, which is why inspection reports reference station numbers.
