I heard metallic chewing coming from my a/c unit last evening. This morning i saw a chipmunk sitting in front of it. Looked like he just woke up.I knew I couldn't hesitate on this one so i went to Lowe's and got this trap. Watched a youtube video on it and set it up. Instructions say not recommended for anything but rats/mice and for indoor use only. I set it up outside and went by my house at lunch and there was a chipmunk in it. Don't know if it's "the" chipmunk and the last thing i want to ...

Don't bother

Almost 18 years ago, when I first bought my house, I saw signs of mice. I hate seeing them and I could never pick them up. So when I found electronic mouse zappers, it was great. And that first year it caught mouse after mouse. In 17 years I have seen no evidence of mice in my living space. Then recently, I had the insulation removed from my attic in preparation to some wiring work. Well, they must have been up there because I started seeing mice and droppings. So of course, I bought a new rat z...

Houdini Rat

I've been chasing and baiting a pretty large rat for a month. He's pretty much destroyed shelves by putting holes in containers with liquids, escaped glue traps leaving behind fur, escaping snap traps with the bait and even taking the bait without setting off the trap. Today takes all, he opened the back bait door and ate the bait without walking into the trap. Pray for me! Design flaw or evolved rat?

Worked freaking awesome.

Would Recommend

I had a rat problem at my lake house. I put out bait but then had to hunt the dead rat when it would start to smell. I tried the snap traps but they are a pain to put out, as well as deal with a nasty rat when it kills it. This trap here is easy to use, works great, and you simply dump the dead vermin out when you the light is blinking. The top with the electronics part pops off and the rest is easy to clean. Can't find any cons to this trap.

Hopefully the product should work. Haven’t tried it yet because I forgot to order C batteries. Perhaps let me know how to do so. I will need at least 12 so I will ask for 24. If you can’t do so, please let me know.

Exceeded my Expectations

Would Recommend

We actually used it for the mice issue we had. Within 2 weeks of using it, we rid if 6 mice. The trick is, moving it after every catch. I highly recommend this product.

Does not work good.

Would Not Recommend

This product does not work well at catching rats. They are not attracted to the pea size amount of peanut butter you use. We have caught around 15 rats and only 2 of those were in this trap. I feel I wasted my money by purchasing this trap.

This really works

Would Recommend

So I moved into this place 6 years ago and after about a year started thinking we had rats couldn't figure out how to get rid of them. Called exterminator and they never showed. Tried other rat traps the rats just got them off and continued. This year I noticed more of them figured this cost more checked reviews not a bad one in there. Was not disappointed this thing really works so well. Caught 4 in one day will keep setting until nothing is in them. Never been as pleased as I am with this trap...
