Large Rat Traps, Set of 6, Reusable Pest Control Solutions for Trapping Against Mouse, Chipmunk, and Squirrel. Instant Humane Kill Rodent Snap Trap That Work

I had a rat infestation in my chicken coop. I tried using the wooden traps and it kept failing. I finally decided to give a shot to and bought this one from Amazon. I added peanut butter as bait and set the traps. Next day, the traps got 6 large rats. Very strong rat traps! Very easy to use and it works better than any other trap I used in the past. I highly recommend it!

After 30 years with no vermin, one managed to chew through the aging mortar in our foundation wall which allowed more than a few -- first mice, then rats! -- into our basement. They did a lot of damage chewing wires throughout the house, as well as books, and almost any stored food items they could aggressively get to. We tried many natural ways to repel or live catch, and called many pest and wildlife control companies -- who proved over-priced and more interested in a long-term contract than solving the problem. The only way to do that is find and properly seal the point of entry and set traps to, sadly, catch and kill. It broke my heart that humane methods were not viable and our house was having thousands in damage done to the wiring they like to chew.I bought these traps out of desperation and frustration and am so glad they worked! I put a dab of peanut butter in the bait hole. The raised sides on the small well makes it harder for smart rodents to knock the bait out without springing the sensitive trap. I put them along a dark wall, behind other things as rats are smart and suspicious; but I kept them accessible to monitor and remove. Within two days I'd caught what turned out to be the last two rats we heard or saw evidence of. It no doubt helped that I had removed all accessible alternative foods from access (putting remaining ones we needed into hard plastic containers which many sites recommended as safer storage from rodents who can chew through a lot -- even concrete! -- but, evidently, not hard plastic). We had already had a basement foundation company send someone to seal the holes with spray caulk and copper mesh (also bought on Amazon but available at most hardware stores) before scraping down and re-parging/cement-plastering the weakened wall. I've held on to a few of the traps but hope we'll never need them. I also gave two to a friend and she said they worked very quickly to catch her small invaders. Every city and town has rats and mice -- my city has millions. They carry diseases and ruin homes making wiring into fire hazards or inoperable. I knew we had to seize the opportunity to get rid of them as quickly as possible! These traps were easy to set, and we could empty, clean, and re-use them (wearing disposable gloves to stay safe from any exposures). Or you coukd toss the whole trap but I'm somewhat obsessive about recycling and upcycling and not as squeamish as some about emptying the trap since I grew up in the country. Also, the very high price of having pros set and empty your traps is good motivation to do it on your own. Good luck solving your own invasion.

I purchased two sets (12 ) of these traps and I like how they work however, after the first few snaps the hold mechanism on 4 of them does not hold and there is no way to adjust. I even had one trap that the plastic hold mechanism snap off. I think this part should be made of a tougher plastic.Bill Bedard

Product is defective - catch does not hold - POORLY MADE. Do not waste your money. You will not catch one rodent. And once you purchase this trap, customer service will not respond to multiple attempts to contact them. You'll be stuck with a trap that does not work!!!

These traps are seemingly the best value on Amazon, at less than $4 / trap. They are powerful, and work well but have no longevity - the plastic is very brittle, and the trigger mechanism breaks over time. All six of my traps are broken, I purchased them 10 months ago.

Rats 10 - traps Zero. These seem like they'd be deadly, but the rat won't go near them, no matter what bait I used.

I live in a rural setting. Feild mice and brown rats are a natural thing in the woods and fields here. I have only ever had the big eyed field mice see refuge in the shed, garage and occasionally the basement when it gets cold in winter. I have been a die hard fan of the old wooden traps for over 20 years; they are inexpensive, and effective. What drew me to the idea of these traps - I also purchased the full plastic that look like a big pac-man - is that they do not rust up, and they are easier to bait and set.Having used the wooden traps, the springs will get corroded from dampness of a cement floor in a matter of months. That makes the recoil a split second slower over the years, and eventually, it creates a gruesome death, rather than a quick one. I hate having to continually replace rusted traps. Also the way some of the animals will enter a trap, they will stick to the metal bar. The way this trap is set up, you avoid much of the ugly part of rodent killing: getting the dead critter out.The bait cup just swivels out. No trying to smear a little peanut butter(or super glue a cheerio, as dad does) to the bait clip. The cup comes out, stuff the best attractant in it, and swivel it back in. If ants clean it out, as has happened to me in the summer, you can leave the trap set, and take the bait cup out and fill it and put it back in. Wonderful! No pinched fingers while attempting a rebait!If you are worried about if this would kill the animal, rest assured that it will. Release dead critter, reset. The full plastic ones are even easier.The rats I am catching are NOT large city rats. These have a body if 6 inches or less. These are brown woods rats, not the city rats that are the size of a half grown possum. I will gladly answer any questions onbthe device.

Best ones we own

To small for rats in London ... need redesigning.. found one rat in agony near trap.. all traps triggered and nothing....

Well made and plenty of snap. Many a rat has already given his life to these traps.

Easy to bait easy to set but do they catch anything no you just feed the moggy no matter how little bait I put in they still don't trigger and the bait Cup is licked clean

I haven’t caught a rat yet, but did catch mice with these traps. I had a very large rat lurking out in our barn. We have livestock a few cows and we keep our feed in steel containers.But rats still are opportunistic. I had to resort to the old style wooden trap with a hair trigger setting and peanut butter, and caught the big rat. These newer style plastic traps are much more friendlier to use. I find them easier to set and clean.
