I don't usually feel compelled to write reviews, but this trap worked so well, I felt I had to!! I'd noticed an apparent lone rat in the back garden, tucking into the bird food, but I was loath to kill him and would rather move him on. So I tried deterrants like peppermint balls and liquids, but with no luck. Hence I decided to try this trap to catch him. Delivered on Friday, baited and put the trap out early Saturday morning. Had the rat sniffing around the trap all day Saturday, but clearly too nervous to enter. Sunday morning and he had clearly gained confidence/interest. Over the space of an hour he gradually went further and further into the trap, until finally, he stepped on the pressure plate and the door slammed firmly behind. "In a rat trap, you've been caught"!! This is where it gets tricky, as he was incredibly lively in the trap, knawing at the metal frame, pulling on the door and especially agitated when I got near. But with a sturdy pair of gloves and the solid roof of the trap, it was comfortable to pick up. The rat will calm down if placed into the dark; so cover with a sheet, or put in a recycle bin with lid the lid on as I did. Then you need to find a responsible release site, be careful not to release too close to the capture site or near other houses; do not pass the problem on!! I used a wire coat hook to fashion a tool to pull the door open and keep my hands away from the trap and rat. That made for a comfortable release, do aim the trap into clear/open ground, the rat will likely bolt straight for cover. Superb though, the trap worked an absolute treat!! It was of a really sturdy and solid construction, no chance of the rat escaping when trapped. Honestly could not fault it!! I would recommend leaving the trap in the "rat area" for 24/48 hours, they'll need to get used to it. Worth taking some time to practice setting the trap and releasing before putting out as well, but this is easy. The only negative was our garden robin, who subsequently triggered the trap twice and locked himself in, so do keep an eye on the trap for unwanted captures and release them quickly!! But with no sign of another rat, I'll be retiring the trap. Brilliant product!!

Does the job very well no rat is escaping from this like other traps of the same style only a shame after i caught one rat a few days later i caught a rather big hedgehog and could not release it due to its spikes being wedged so i had to destroy the trap to free the poor thing i felt so guilty that i put some dogfood down and watched it eat for 5 mins before it continued on its way so i think these need a way of opening the top so you can release hedgehogs without having to destroy the trap but i would rather lose the value of the trap than hurt or harm these endangered species. i will be now looking for another trap that may allow this this is and the reason why i gave it four stars instead of five.

An excellent bit of kit. Really easy to setup. It caught the rat that was residing under the floorboards and was finding his way into the house to eat the dogs food. I had a motion sensor camera so I new when and where he was appearing. I put down a number of different traps to catch him but he was so cautious and clever he managed to evade all of them. The big Cheese rat trap did the trick though. I don't understand how anyone can give this anything but 5 stars. I am a design engineer and am always looking to improve things, but this doesn't need it, as it work just as it should. Highly recommend.

Good size, very sturdy and should catch rats, but not yet successful after two weeks use. Appears to be reasonably sensitive. Good value. Have tried various baits - clearly need to try more.

I agree with other reviews, it may catch vermin but its a nuisance setting this trap. You need small hands for this job and at least 2 pairs! Fairly obvious never designed by anyone with any knowledge as to how these things should work. I don't understand why it needs two springs, one below the plate and one for the door and 2 catch levers. Not easy to bait either. What the description doesn't tell you - open the sprung door, keep this squeezed together and engage the top door lever (almost impossible), bait the trap plate - a nice shiny and slippery surface which is sprung (almost as impossible) and make sure the wire pendulum is engaged against the trap plate at the same time. Keep all of this in place while you set it in a corner and watch it all disengage and back to step one. You can't see what you are doing either because there is a top plate in the way. So just to summarise open door, engage top lever, set bait and pendulum at the same time and set trap down. Cant wait for this to go rusty and make it even more difficult and frustrating. It would be simpler using the old school traps one lever, one spring step on plate and trap shuts and drop bait through the wire top - life would be so much simpler, meanwhile your intended furry friends are laughing their furry socks off at the hapless pest controller! Best to avoid all the above scenarios!

Muy buen producto. Bien acabado, resistente, el tamaño de sobra para lo que se busca, facil de usar y totalmente efectivo. De esos productos que no te vas a arrepentir de haberte gastado los cuartos, porque cumple lo que promete. Lo uso para unas ratas que se cuelan a comer el grano en un gallinero, y van cayendo una tras otra, para ratones de campo más pequeñitos no es efectivo. Uso como cebo trozos de queso de una cuña que se estaba empezando a poner rancia, lo guardo en un tupper bien hermético para que no escape ningun olor e ir reponiendo el cebo, es infalible. No he probado otras jaulas ni probaré, esta va de lujo.

Gekauft, aufgestellt und gefangen!!! Funktioniert super. Allerdings sollte man sich vorher überlegen was man mit dem gefangenen Schädling macht! Der Versand war schnell und zuverlässig und lässt auch hier keinen Grund zur Beanstandung.

La cage piège à rats The Big Cheese a très bien fonctionné pour capturer le rat qui s'était installé dans ma maison. Elle est facile à utiliser et la qualité du produit est au rendez-vous. J'apprécie particulièrement le fait que ce piège soit sans cruauté, permettant de capturer les animaux sans les blesser, ce qui est un vrai plus pour moi. Points forts : ✅ Efficacité prouvée : La cage a rapidement capturé le rat avec un appât simple, sans échappatoire possible grâce à la porte à ressort. ✅ Robuste et durable : Fabriquée en métal galvanisé, la cage est résistante à la rouille et aux intempéries, ce qui la rend idéale pour une utilisation en extérieur toute l'année. ✅ Utilisation simple : Prête à l'emploi dès la sortie de la boîte, il suffit de placer un appât et de la positionner à l'endroit souhaité. ✅ Sans cruauté : Capture les rats sans les blesser, avec une structure qui ne comporte pas de bords tranchants ou dangereux pour les animaux. ✅ Sécurité pour l’utilisateur : La plaque protectrice sous la poignée de transport est un excellent ajout pour manipuler la cage en toute sécurité, sans risque de morsures. Points faibles : ❌ Instructions en anglais : Les instructions sur l'emballage ne sont pas toujours disponibles en français, ce qui peut compliquer l'utilisation pour certains. ❌ Prix un peu élevé : Le prix peut paraître un peu élevé par rapport à d'autres options, mais la qualité justifie l'investissement. En résumé, ce piège à rats est une solution efficace et respectueuse des animaux pour gérer les nuisibles dans et autour de la maison. Sa construction robuste et son utilisation facile en font un choix idéal pour ceux qui cherchent une méthode sans cruauté pour capturer et relâcher les rats en toute sécurité.

El producto tiene calidad y cumple su función y particulaqrmente me parece adecuado al precio.lLa llegada ha sido en 24 horas, más rápido imposible. No le asigno el máximo ya que, como dice otro comprador y he podido comprobar en mi pedido, la medida no es de 40 cms sino de 34 cms. Quien necesite una trampa de 40cms deberá saberlo y el vendedor deberá corregir las medidas para no tener problemas de devoluciones. No entiendo con lo tecnificado que está todo, se hayan mantenido en el error. No quiero pensar que es intencionado.
