Worked eventually

Would Recommend

Worked eventually but bait was stolen several times. Even with cream cheese, the rats in my yard were able to clean the bait cup.

Within a hour of setting out. Noticed some stuff torn up in garage. Knew exactly what it was! Used peanut butter and sunflower seeds.

Large and strong

Although we have not caught the rat yet, I’m confident this will take care of our menace.

Didn't Work on My Rats

Would Not Recommend

It is easy to set and bate but the rats left it alone for a couple of weeks but then stole the bate without tripping the trap. These rats are quite trap wise.

Best trap I've found

Would Recommend

Liked: very effective, easy to set, and eat to clean after use. Dislike: bait cup is small and does not allow for much to be set to attract rodents.

Best traps I’ve used.

Would Recommend

Easy set up. Easy clean up. Put a little peanut butter, set and leave. It nice because you don’t have to worry about getting your fingers clamped like the old fashioned ones. When you do get a critter, grab the trap squeeze the clamp, and release into the trash. Then you’re set up for the next. Best trap ever.
