What Customers Are Saying
Customers report widespread dissatisfaction with this rat trap, citing a trigger mechanism that fails to activate even when bait is consumed, allowing rats to steal food without setting it off. Many describe the trap as extremely difficult and dangerous to set, requiring 10 to 15 minutes and risking finger injuries from the heavy spring. Reviewers frequently compare it unfavorably to competitor brands, calling it unreliable and poor quality. A small number report successful catches and praise the sturdy construction, but these positive experiences are vastly outnumbered by complaints of ineffectiveness and poor design.

Would Not RecommendBought a few of these with high hopes on evicting 2 little critters. I loaded the trap with peanut butter, on the first day the rats licked it clean and the trap did not release. The second day, I reloaded the trap with PB and again it was licked clean with no rat and trap did not release itself. The trigger is not sensitve enough. Do not waste your money. I have used Victor traps for mice with great success, will have to pick up some of their rat traps instead.
Junk
Would Not RecommendThe only brand Lowe's had otherwise I would not have bought two. Most of time bait(PB) disappeared, then I caught one chipmunk in each after that the traps fell apart and I had to throw them out, $4 wasted. Look somewhere else for a quality V trap
Rat Feeding Station
Would Not RecommendB ought 3, bait gone and not one tripped. Tried again and same thing. A complete waste of money. I'll go find the old reliable brand.
Better Than Poison
Would RecommendYou have to use real bacon bits for bait, not peanut butter or other bait that can be licked off. Pick the larger pieces of lean bacon bits to force thread through the bait pan. The rat has to pull it back out. I have not found another bait that works this well.
