I live in the country or just in it and have a large garden where we feed birds and hedgehogs. And inevitably the odd large rat... Of course, the thing about rats is that they need to be kept under control ASAP otherwise they will be out of control very quickly. So, I bought these along with many others over the years. This brand is the best. No doubt about it the quality of construction and general design is a winner. Not for the rat mind you... Few things to note. Rats are damned clever animals and very wary of traps of any kind. Some will avoid this and any other trap regardless so you need a combination of traps and poison. I prefer these kill traps because it's done and dusted and there is no body left to poison any other animal if eaten. From my use I'd say using the right bait - peanut butter - and located in the correct place which is along a wall where rats tend to run these give the best results possible. The actual traps inside are well made and easy to set with not too much risk of catching yourself if you take care. They locate positively in the container unit thus making a very solid trap indeed. Couple of things to note. I have a lot of hedgehogs around and while a full grown one would not get inside, smaller or young ones could with the consequent results not being ideal. Thus I put these on slightly raised levels so rats but not hedgehogs will investigate as well as the usual places such as outbuildings and sheds. Cats might get inside but they wouldn't go for the bait but for the dead rat or mouse in which case the trap is already activated. Small children need to be watched and I remove these when my grandchildren come over. Overall, a great rat trap.

Easy to use, decent quality, powerful sprung trap bar, handy hole/cable tie method of letting you know the trap has been sprung without disturbing the trap unnecessarily! Sturdy but not heavy. Good price too.

We have a happy expanding band of rodents resident under our shed so I ordered two of these traps before they started looking for more living quarters. The traps turned up with pretty good instructions. A lot of people complain about the lock and there is a knack to it. The key must be rotated 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and held in that position as you open the box (this splays a couple of tines within the box allowing opening). A little fiddly but it works well once you have the knack. I handle the traps with gloves (even when unpacking) to avoid getting human scent on the traps. I've used a mix of nutella and birdseed as bait. The snap traps are powerful and relatively easy to set without risking fingers. The first night we had one juvenile rat, the second, two, one in each trap and the third night another. So, four rats in three nights is good going. They seem to be fairly humane as all the rats have died instantly. We tested the boxes to ensure our rabbit who roams freely in the garden cannot get into the boxes; so they are safe for her. The older rats may be harder to deal with as I suspect they get bigger by being more cautious but they may relax as the traps are around longer. I remove the rats each morning and rebait the traps in the evening. A good solid product that has worked well for us at a reasonable price. Update (29/04/20): The instructions recommend to leave the traps in place and keep them baited. They have dispatched a mouse but today, a few of weeks on have removed another rat. So, I'm really pleased with the traps and provided you follow the instructions carefully they work well and I thoroughly recommed them.

These are very strong, they have dispatched a good few rats VERY humanely. They are instant. no suffering, just a fast death. Be careful when setting them, if they go off on your fingers they can cause an injury. Be warned, that's why they are so good for getting rid of vermin. I have used them over and again in friends property and would highly recommend them.

Produit de qualité et très facile à mettre en œuvre. La mise en tension est difficile avec la boite fermée. Mieux vaut le mettre en tension avant. Cette languette est quand même bien utile pour vérifier s'il y a piège ou non ( faire un petit marquage noir pour voir le déplacement ... ) La mâchoire est efficace. Très satisfaite. Premier piégeage au bout de 2 semaines.

The media could not be loaded. Ich habe diese Rattenfalle bestellt, weil meine alten Fallen einfach zu schwach waren. In meinem Garten treiben sich wirklich große Ratten herum, und es war bisher sehr schwer, sie zu fangen. Ich hatte mal eine sehr gute Falle aus der Schweiz, die lange gut funktioniert hat – bis eine besonders kräftige Ratte sie komplett zerstört hat. Diese neue Falle hier hat aber endlich überzeugt! Sie wirkt stabil, zuverlässig und scheint auch mit den besonders großen Exemplaren fertig zu werden. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass die Marke aus England stammt – und wenn man an London denkt, dann weiß man, dass man dort sicher Erfahrung mit großen Ratten hat. Und tatsächlich: Die Falle funktioniert einwandfrei! Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann sie definitiv weiterempfehlen!

Acheté il y a quelques semaines, je n’ai attrapé qu’un rat, j’aurais dû mettre des gants pour préparer le piège. Pas de stress pour les autres animaux domestiques, pas de toxicité et de risque d’intoxication, réutilisable à volonté. Je suis contente de mon achat malgré le peu de résultat. Placement d’un colson qui permet de constater à distance si le piège a été déclenché.

Déjà deux rats attrapés (sans utiliser de poison). Par contre il a fallut être patient. Plus d'une semaine dehors. Je pense que malgré que j'aie utilisé des gants, l'objet était quand même imprégné de l'odeur humaine.
