We have one of these on the farm for catching rats. It works great with a piece of cream cracker with a blob of peanut butter on it as bait. Brown rats and black rats like different food but they both can't resist peanut butter. We catch the rats and then shoot them in the head. Once disposed of we pressure wash the blood and guts off the trap and then reset and put fresh bait in it (always wear gloves to avoid disease and wash hands afterwards). Because the trap is galvanised it won't rust so no problem using it outside. I recently had rats come in the attic because of the cold weather so purchased a second trap which is up there now awaiting it's first catch. Traps are better than poison as with poison the rat dies in cavities and inaccessible areas and stinks then you get a fly problem. Read full review

It really is too complicated. Setting the trigger isnt great and getting the bait onto the correct place according to the instructions is very difficult. The trigger isnt sensitive enough, Ive had to alter the angle at the end to make it work better. Its well made but if quality includes fitness for purpose its not good quality.

Well made and a good size. The door could do with a slightly larger handle as fingers get precariously close to the animal in cage when opening the door. I use a stick to help open and keep fingers away from angry rodent! Also, when set, the trap is a little sensitve and can go off prematurely from a small jolt. Having said that, have caught 7 squirrels to date, all released unharmed to another location.

I'm pleased with the rat/squirrel cage! It arrived on time. I thought I had a problem with a squirrel so I ordered the cage however my daughter said that she had seen a rat. I baited the trap with corned beef and put it in a place where only a rat (not a larger creature could get in. I checked it after a day but nothing then I forgot about it for three or four days. When I checked again there was a very large dead rat in it. I disposed of the dead rat and set the trap again but nothing since.

I operate about a dozen traps. This model is the best of the live catch type. It's design means that it will go very close to hole.Very easy to bait up and set .Used with peanut butter, it catches.Smear some on floor and outside of trap to overcome rats suspicion.I believe in "free samples" . Be patient, and please ,check traps at least every 24 hrs or sooner.You might get the odd small bird that can be released unharmed after eating all your bait . Finally,dispatch. My choice is .22 pellet.You owe your target a quick and humane.death.Never handle
