Good Trap

A well made trap. Sometimes it can be a little bit fiddly to get the catch in place to set it and you need to be a bit creative to get the bait to stay in position, but once set it seems very efficient. This size trap might be a bit too small for the big fat squirrels in my area though!Read full review...

Rats aren't stupid!

I thought I'd try an humane trap to get rid of a large rat that has moved into our house. Well the rat won! Quite simply they are intelligent and simply refuse to go in to get their food. I left it baited with peanut butter (crunchy) and not set for a full week (you need a cable tie to stop the trap going off, there is no clip) and the rat completely ignored it. The first night I set the trap for real I caught - a hedgehog! The hedgehog found it very homely and refused to leave until the morning. The next night it came back for more! Sorry rattus rattus it's poison now!Read full review...

GONE AND FORGOTTEN

When the trap arrived, I was afraid it was too small, but gave it a go anyway. The first attempt found the bait taken, but nothing trapped. My doubts were looking realistic. However, at the second go, we found that our squirrel friend had jailed himself, and we were able to remove it from our garden to a safe distance. Just one thing. I think it cut itself trying to bite through the wire as blood was found on the mesh, so be sure to watch for the trap being tripped so the prisoner can be let free as soon as possible.Read full review...

Back to the drawing board

The lock down system is very poor. The idea that a small lip balanced on a steel pin which is held just by the end of another pin is totally ridiculous. The previous trap I bought had a strong sensible mechanism and I thought I was purchasing the same model. I would go back to the drawing board on this one. It was so sensitive that on three occasions it trapped small birds which was the last thing I wanted it to do. No squirrels.Read full review...

Brilliant cage!

Brilliant cage. Ready assembled. Wiped over with a damp cloth and rubbed it over with a fat ball to remove any human sent. Caught squirrel after 2 days with peanut trail from edge of door to the trigger plate. Looked at a few before buying this as alot had bad reviews. Glad I chose this one.Read full review...

Rats ar'nt stupid - find an alternative

I'll start by saying that this trap is good value, well made out of strong materials, functions well (after some experimentation and use of common sense) and works...ONCE!
I caught one rat in it after only an hour of setting it. I watched as it mustered the courage to enter it. Unfortunately i wasn't able to release the rat immediately (well away from home in woodland 2 miles away) and consequently it will have relayed its distress to other rats. MISTAKE.
Even after power washing it and wearing gloves there haven't been any further captures (1 week later and the bait is still there).
So, the product gets 5* but in reality it's not the way forward for long term use.

6 and counting

the best money I've spent in a very long time. we was having a major squirrel problem, taking all the bird food and chewing everything in sight so we got one of these traps.
it works great, we got two within a couple of hours on the first day and now 5 days later I have just got number six.
for the price this has got to be one of the best ways of getting rid of the little beggers. good for rats as well, we got one of those as well :)

Useless!!!! And avoid..THESE THINGS ARE UTTERLY INEFFECTIVE!!!

I urge any would be buyer to AVOID this... It simply CAN NOT work. Whatever you do, DO NOT think u can trap a thing with this... Its WOEFUL. Nothing against the sender, the sender has been conned as much as I have... This design has no prospect of catching a thing, other than a futile expense...Read full review...

Good design but don't expect it to catch tiny rodents..

I'm still learning how to lighten the trip function since the animals entering could be mice. The bait has been taken and the trap remained open. The trap appears just right for the job..
