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.

The rat box was excellent, care had to be taken when setting the sprung trap which is fixed inside the box as it was very easy to trap your own fingers if care was not taken. Using the bait which is bought seperately but recommended is woth buying as it does attract the rats. Normally when the trap is sprung the rat is swiftly dispatched. BUT we did have one very unpleasant time when a young rat was not killed instantly and although very badly trapped by its lower back and legs ended by screaming for some time until I could humanely dispatch it but this was very unpleasant for both of us and fortunate that I was aware of the rats dilema and was on hand but I think this purely down to the small size of the rat. The red indicator system wich is triggered when the trap goes off is excellent and the trigger mechanism is very sensative so as stated take care when setting the very powerful spring.

Well made and as advertised, but not for me. I knew I had a rat, as I found the rat runs and set up a night vision camera overnight and had the displeasure of watching a very large rat walk over and under my decking and down my path. When I say a big rat, this thing was very well built and had obviously been well fed in the field to the rear of our home. The trap/bait boxes seem to be well engineered and the great feature that everyone will find useful will be the activation indicator using the tie-wrap, very useful, as I could see if the trap had activated from my bedroom window, no need to open the box every day. But, there are some short-comings for my circumstances. Knowing the size of the rat I faced, I was a bit concerned about the power in the trap and thought it could have done with bigger springs and dragons teeth to grip the rat. I did buy such a trap, but it did not fit in the case, so I had to use the supplied traps. I cannot stop thinking that my concerns about the trap might have been justified, as the first night that the trap was armed (4 nights left unset to get the rat accustomed to the box), the trap activated, but no rat. Apart from that incident, I caught a rodent every time I set these traps and they instantly killed the rodent, but the problem was that I was catching wood mice, which I am happy to live in peace with, they just got in the way of any potential rats who wanted to have a go at the bait - albeit, if Mr Rat had a close shave on night one, he would probably be trap shy for life. The real problem for me, that resulted in me disposing of these boxes, was part of the design. The rat needs to walks in a few inches and the trap is right in front of the rat, no curves to keep out children or pets. My cats had ignored the boxes for the first few days and had been confined to barracks due to rain for the first few nights I caught wood mice, but on a brighter day, I removed the wood mice and left the traps unset and let the cats out. My wife began shouting about the cat, I looked outside to see both of our cats going bonkers over the mouse smell in the boxes, each cat was at a different box. One cat had a front leg fully in the box and if it had been activated, the consequences would have been awful. On seeing this, I did for a second feel sick until I realised I had not re-set the traps. My experience was that I need boxes with more powerful traps and for the trap to be out of reach of a pet and I have sourced such boxes from Amazon, but they are not so well engineered as these boxes. Summary - Very well made, really useful activation indicator; but watch out for pets. if I ever get a mouse problem in the loft (or anywhere else the cats do not go), this will be my trap & box of choice, it might also be if I had a problem with smaller rats.

These are really good rat traps. They also allow the bait to be secured inside making them safer to use around other animals. The tag showing if the trap has been sprung is another good feature.

Gut zu bedienen und sicher für Hunde. Weder Kinder noch Hunde kommen an die Schlagfallen. Und wenn ein Nager in die Falle gegangen ist, liegt die tote Ratte nicht offen rum.

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.

Produit très effcicace. J'en ai acheté deux pour poser à coté de mon poullaillier. J'ai choisis ce produit pour proteger mes animaux (poules, chats, hérissons) et piéger les rats sans risque. Résultt: Au bout de 15jours, 6 rats piégés ! Je l'utilise avec l'appat en seringue SWISSINNO. Facile à utiliser et sans danger pour vos autres animaux !

Kluge Muttertierratten gehen in das kleine Loch kaum rein. Für Jungtiere ok. Es wäre besser man sieht von außen oben, ob die Falle geschnappt ist. Eine Kunststoffscheibe wäre ideal
