rat traps
Vermin capture devices
Rat traps are devices designed to catch or kill rats, typically spring-loaded mechanisms that snap shut when triggered.
The term extends to any trap for rodents.
Figuratively, a rat trap describes a squalid, run-down place: That apartment was a real rat trap.
Also spelled as one word: rattrap.
