Extra Large Rat Traps That Kill Instantly, Super Heavy Duty Humane Mouse Traps for Indoors and Outdoors, Squirrel Trap with High Capture Rate Safe for Family and Pets(2PCS)

Great for the job of catching rats. A good idea is to fasten the traps onto a length of wood to keep them better in place

Very good

I bought a 2 pack of these as we had rats in our garden eating bird food from the bird table. We read the instructions correctly and placed bate into the section, we used peanut butter. Chocolate spread, cheese. The setting the trap was quite easy to do just a click which was quite resistant, however we assumed it would kill the rat out right as I do not want them to suffer. Anyway we set the traps over a 3 week period, the rats got the food off of the trap without it going off, we had cameras set up to watch and we had 3 regular rats visit. Terrorising my rabbits, the traps went off but not once did they ever catch a rat. I was very disappointed in this product and would not recommend. We got poison in the end. So these plastic traps are not worth the £8.99 I paid for the 2. They were quite lightweight and looked quite good quality however the job they were bought for failed. So value for money is a no go. Save your money either buy poison in a sealed unit which is safe against other animals. Or call pest control.

Nice and strong catches well, not caught anything yet, still hoping, not for rats though, too small.

Does what it says it will.

Well, I've waited a while before reviewing because I wanted to see the effectiveness of the product. The products are snappy. If you set it off yourself and get your fingers caught in them then it flipping hurts, so the quality of them are pretty good. But ... I loaded with cheese, pushing the cheese into the recepticle to ensure the rat had to stand on and trigger the trap to get at it. Well, I had to load it several times as the rat would ignore it but after a while when checking it to see if I need to reload it I noticed the cheese had gone. The trap had not triggered but it still took the cheese! So, after all this wait it appears that the trigger is useless. I'll reload and wait but not hopeful.

I like mice as pets, but unfortunately not as unpaying guests. Some time ago, I caught some live in a humane trap - but that's pointless as it's illegal to release them near residental areas (I took them on a freedom outing to the woods instead). So really they have to be killed :( The mice I catch are really small, about 2inches in length, so really don't weigh very much. When I initally set these traps they were easily able to eat their trace peanut butter last supper and vanish without triggering the trap. With my mechanical mindset (which undertood not to get fingers trapped when setting), I just bluetacked a pound coin just past the pivot point of the seesaw sufficiently increasing the sensitivity. Mousey caught had a cute non-stressed expression on his/her face, the bar had come down on the tummy. But no bodily damage, and nothing that would upset the squeamish. Just imagine you've seen someone prepared at the undertakers and not at the morgue (or on TV, since every second programme shown these days is of someone's grizzly death) Anyway, with mousey carried to the back of the garden and dumped over the rear wall, he/she will make a nice meal for the remaining wildlife that frequents this place (magpies, crows, foxes) These traps are sufficiently constructed for the purpose.

Products do their job. Snap snap.
