## How the traps work

The traps are CO₂-powered and self-resetting: after a strike, the trap automatically resets
itself for the next animal, killing repeatedly on a single gas cylinder without manual
intervention. Kills are instant and toxin-free — no poison, no bait stations, no secondary
poisoning of pets, children, livestock, or non-target wildlife. A trap kit costs roughly the
same as a single visit from an exterminator and then runs on its own.

## What makes ATC different

- Self-resetting: the trap continues working after each kill without being reset by hand.
- Poison-free: no toxicants, no anticoagulant baits, no risk of secondary poisoning.
- Humane: kills are instant. (Note: this is distinct from live-traps, which prolong stress.)
- Safe around children, pets, livestock, and non-target wildlife.
