Have problems with Ratty, he’s taken an interest with the bird seed on the bird table, don’t want to use bait that might harm other wild life so decided to give this trap a try. So far no success, Ratty is clever and crafty, he likes cheese and bread and manages to pinch it without setting off the trap. The battle is on, just going to need a lot of patience, hope for success in the future.
I’ve been bothered by a very large rat that couldn’t get in to the normal bait stations so I tried something a bit bigger. It took a while (around 3 weeks) and a change of bait to Nutella but I heard the trap shut and some scraping around and when I looked there was a huge rat backside sticking out the trap and it was very dead. The trap itself is easy to use once you get the hang of it, it is very sturdy and it doesn’t go off prematurely when it is put in place. I used the gloves that came with the trap and soon got used to setting the bait. It is very easy to get the dead rodent out of the trap, the clips on the side open it up and the rat dropped out. The smaller poison bait stations appear to have dealt with the smaller rats and I appear to be free of them (for now).
These rat traps are the best we’ve used and reasonably priced. Easy to set up and we put peanut butter in it. We feed the birds and rats have been going for food on the ground and so we put traps in a bush next to the bird feeders. Within a week we have caught 6 rats!
Hate to poison any creature but I tried humans traps and this little mouse was to smart and I couldn’t catch it. I put a camera on the trap and the first couple of nights it sniffed around but didn’t go in. Happily for me but sadly for the mouse he was caught on the third night.
As a child I used to keep mice in a cage. They have a gestation period of 19 days and they usually have about 10 babies and the babies can mate when 6 weeks old. So in theory in 8 plus weeks you could be overrun with mice.
Value for money they do work i have caught quite a good few rats since i got them Peanut butter
is a good bait to use to attract the rat into the Trap and then when u remove them from the trap an owl
or a magpie or such bird that might take the body will not be harmed..
I highly recommend this trap and will be buying more.
I’m not sure whether it killed straight away, if the dog picked it up or the force of the trap closing moved it but the trap did move about half a foot, so I question if it really is instant kill, however it did the job so I’m happy, hopefully we can get the rest I’m guessing he’s one of many 🙁
My dog tried to gain access he’s a mid size Cocker spaniel but couldn’t get in so that’s good that was the main reason for buying this type of trap.
That being said i also purchased two Roshield snap type traps as back up for cracky which i placed in my shed. Snappy and Zargon, as i have named them, are steely eyed dealers of instant death. They are both already double aces with a score of 10 and 11 respectively and they kill instantly. On reflection i would have just got the three Roshields with the Froboo only winning in the ease of getting rid of dead rat department.
