TRATPER Rat and Chipmunk Traps. Prevents Accidental Triggering with Dual Tunneled Design. Covered Snap Traps for Humane Kill, Reusable, Pest Control for Rats, Indoor & Outdoor Use. 2 Pack

II cannot say enough about this rat trap. I am SO IMPRESSED. I truly hate mice and rats but living accross from a wooded area I'm affraid it's going to be a constant battle. The only thing I dislike even more are the old school wooden spring traps. I would like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this little goddess of a trap for rodents. You my friend are going down in history. It's super easy to set these traps. Before you set the trap, flip it upside down and unscrew the little loading cup. We used peanut butter with a peanut stuck in on top. You can use your hand to undo it and put it back in. There is no screwdriver or anything needed. It's just a little half turn. Then flip it back to the correct side and place it up against a wall where you know you have rodent traffic. (where you see droppings that look like chocolate sprinkles but ytou don't want to put this kind on your ice cream) Then you can use your hand or I like to use my foot to press the mechanism down. It's the big thing in the middle that looks like a piano peddle. It's spring loaded. So you might need to put a little umph into it to get it all the way down. That is why I use my foot. You will feel it lock in place. And your good. We started catching rats on the first night. I haven't even had to change the bait for two weeks and we catch something every night. I think it's something to do with the small tunnel that makes them very comfortable. The old wood traps it was kind of hit or miss depending on how well you set the trap. Sometimes they were able to gently lick all the bait off the trap without setting it off. But not these. These are almost self setting every time. You just have to press the peddle down and it catches at the right place. I check it every morning and when I see that the peddle is back up again I know to look for a black tail sticking out. Then I just put my disposable gloves on and have my partner in crime hold a plastic bag open then I position the trap so the tunnel is horizontal and I press down on the piano peddle and out falls mr rat into the bag. Dead and stiff as a rock. Tie the bag off and put it into the trash. We have it on our back patio and we put a little doggie gate around the area so in case our dogs detect it first they can't get to it. But That is just because my silly dogs think they are ratters. They LOVE catching rats. It's so disgusting to me. When I see them do it, I'm like ok but no kisses from you today. I don't want to be near your mouth after that. But the way the trap is designed I'm not sure they would even be able to get to the rat. Maybe if they grabbed the tail and pulled on it hard enough. But I kinda doubt it. I also don't think you would have to worry about your pet getting snapped by it. The tunnel is a brilliant design. I used to put the wood snap traps out by my shed in the back and occasionally some poor baby cardnal or something would get snapped in it and I would feel so bad about that and stop using them altogether. But with this tunnel design I don't think a bird would feel comfortable going inside a tunnel on the ground level like that. So problem solved. Anyway this is a great trap and I highly reccommend it for everyone who has a problem with rats and mice.

👍 Solid choice! The mouse trap is a classic for a reason. I mean, it's not exactly a pleasure to see that many mice, but it gets the job done. The design is actually pretty genius - simple, effective, and no batteries required! The spring mechanism is satisfying to set (just don't trigger it by accident, ouch!). It's compact, easy to set up, and doesn't take up much space. Would recommend for a no-nonsense, old-school approach to pest control. 👍 Would I use it again? Yeah, if I had to. 😂 5/5 stars - would love to see a more humane version, but this gets the job done.

This thing is awesome. Caught a rat in our attic the first night it was setup. Super easy setup and very safe to handle, easy disposal, excellent design.

This is the most impressive trap I have tried, in terms of quickly and effectively catching vermin. I got three rats which had been spending time in the engine compartment of my truck in just a few days. I also tried it with some voles which had been tunneling in our pathways and it was sensitive enough to trap those as well. It is also easier and cleaner to empty than most traps. So far, an easy 5 stars. Then in a single night both traps disappeared from opposite sides of our house! The best case scenario is that they caught something, and then scavengers came along and carried off the traps with their contents. The worst case scenario is that something like a cat or raccoon reached inside and got its paw in the trap. It might have then run off in fear. I have searched our yard pretty well, so whatever took the trap went over our fence or through one of only a couple of holes big enough for the trap. The solution would be to manufacture these with a place to attach a thin metal cable, and provide instructions to do so. That way the trap would not get lost and if there is an animal I don't want to kill I can try to release it, or at least place the trap in or under something which would exclude that type of animal the next time. My next steps: 1) Buy another pair of traps. 2) Find or make a hole and attach a cable. 3) If the trap is catching something I don't want to hurt, put a weighted piece of plywood over it so that rats can still get it but larger creatures can not. I'll have to figure out how not to block the mechanism.

Estoy satisfecha con la compra, si son muy efectivas para atrapar a las ratas, el diseño ayuda a que no tenga uno contacto con la rata al retirarla. Solo es necesario poner crema de cacahuate en el deposito.

We had a rat and the next day it was trapped! Did what we had to do!

Had these only 2 days and caught 4 mice.

EXCELENTE. Se han estado subiendo al motor de el auto. Puse la trampa allí y es segundo día cayó una. Crema de cacahuate y un poco de queso p olor Excelente producto.

I got this for the instant kill factor for the less pain on these poor things. I just got them today and put it in the basement. I went to check about 30 minutes later and it had caught one. Unfortunately, it's head was sticking out where you set the trap and alive as it snapped on the body. Horrible way to go! I may be settinf traps to ultimately kill them but suffering is not what I expected to happen. 😭
