Excellent Device!

Would Recommend

This is truly a "Better Mouse Trap"! With a little peanut butter in the bait holder, it has captured and killed 4 big ones! I recommend using the Duracell 'C' battery. No muss, no fuss, very easy to use. Never had to touch a dead rat. If one goes for the bait in this device, it's CURTAINS for them. Get the smaller one for mice if you've got little ones. This big one may not be suitable for smaller mice and the small unit won't provide enough body clearance for the fat ones to get in to the...

it does not work

It doesn’t work. We tried it for 2 weeks, followed instructions exactly. I have a trail cam and see the rat walk around it. Waste of my money.

I had my doubts

Would Recommend

after a slow start I really didn't think this item was doing the job. but in the last 48 hours it's two for two. the only difference I made was to change the bait to bread and put it in a better place. I found a good traffic area and now the vermin can't resist it. easy clean and reload, just set and forget it, just like it says.

M241

Would Not Recommend

The web site shows M241 so I ordered it. What I got was M241B I guess it is the new model made cheaper not as well made. Lowe’s needs to change there web site to show the new model so people know what they are getting.

We have a really bad rat problem in my area where I live. We had tried everything but nothing was working. So we purchased this box. Best purchase ever. Got a double whammy too. I have been so frustrated with the rat problem we have. We clean put up food and tried to starve them out but they just became more destructive. Chewed up wires, chewed up towels, chewed up clothes. This box has saved me so much money. Rats are a pest to deal with and can cause stress. I am no longer stressed out.

We had a friend in our kitchen for a bit ... honestly he didn't get into much and our dog seemed to befriend him (Small Dog)... but a day came and we discovered the mqost disgusting mess under our oven that had come from him. He had to go. We had tried conventional traps .. wood ones../ spinning ones... but we realized after glimpsing him one day that he was a lot bigger than we anticipated. So we needed a large opening...and since the small dog could fit in the same areas Mr Rat could, we need...

Rat repeatedly eats from this trap, no dead rat.

Would Not Recommend

I have a rat in my garage. I have multiple traps set and they are set off nightly, but the rat is too smart so it's never caught. So I spent the money on this and still, no rat, even though it gets inside and eats the bait. One time the trap was turned over, but still no rat, only urine. I read instructions over and over but it just doesn't work. I will be returning this trap.
