A good quality well made trap. It is a good size too so rats and squirrels feel more confident walking in. I've caught one rat already, so starting to pay for itself. The steel used in construction is a sturdy guage and built to last. I would recommend this product.

This item is strongly made- so that's good. However, the trap gate is loose fitting so it tends to lean left or right in it's sleeve when set open. The fit should be better. The trigger mechanism is the weakest part of this trap. It rely's on two metal rods (thin) holding together purely by resistance. It's difficult to set up although the mechanism itself is logical. It's the triggering rod that's the problem. I'll have to modify this trap to make it trigger better.

Its excellent quality, sturdy and it did the trick. I just have one quibble. The catch that the mechanism rests on is not well designed. It is extremely difficult to get it to balance with the door open. Its very frustrating trying to set the trap! And its much too inclined to shut when the rat first touches the cage, rather than when its inside! We had to bend the catch to change its shape. The manufacturer should do this!

Rat Trap has several good features. Galvanised metal construction for a long life. Simple trigger mechanism. The top is panelled to help keep bait dry and prevent live rodent from nipping your fingers. Fold down handle for easy transport. Could anything be improved? The trigger is friction and can prove tricky to set. The trigger is sensitive and the trap can be easily false triggered if nudged or tapped and is close to the baited trip plate so could be nudged by the target animal, locking it out of the trap! A single catch per day could mean one trap can't keep up with a large colony. Professionals use upto 24 traps on one infestation, making these traps far more expensive than a simple multi catch walk the plank type trap that could catch over ten rodents per night. You can fill it with water and make it a lethal trap if required. Read full review

Strong lightweight live trap which works quite well, if not just a bit of a faff to set, it is quite precise to set and has a tendancy to go off at the slightest touch. Caught rats, mice hedghogs squirrels and birds so it is quite multi purpose.But it could be down to the bait....Chocolate...
