Effective, washable, reusable
Would RecommendWe bought three of these. One caught and killed two rats in a week around outdoor compost bin. One (raised bed garden) had peanut butter eaten out of it, but did not deploy. The non-deploying device might have given the rats a false sense of security when approaching the trap near the compost, though. Soaked used trap in a bucket of soapy water and reset the next day. Note: the trap spring is powerful; watch out when setting, releasing.

Wonderful product
Would RecommendThese traps are remarkable in their efficiency. Every time one has been triggered it has caught the culprit, there have been zero instances of failure to catch. It almost makes me wish I had more vermin in my yard to eradicate as the results are so pleasing.

Would RecommendVery easy to use and even being plastic it worked very well.

Strong and effective. Drop in replacement.
Would RecommendDrop in replacement for the standard plastic rodent boxes with swing open top. Basically the same trap design that originally came with my rodent box. Ideally these will last longer that the original (plastic trigger pin breaks eventually).

Effective proven tool to combat a rat issue.
Would RecommendI have used this product to take out rats for several years. I find them to be durable, effective, and well engineered. Recently helped me nab nine rats who were rampaging through a compost bin. I swear by this product.

I caught a rat every night for the first three nights, but now every night they are somehow eating the bait (peanut butter) without the trap going off!!
