Pest X Pro Shadow Rat Trap Box - 2 Pack, Safe for Kids & Pets, Reusable Indoor/Outdoor Traps

I’d tried a few types of trap to catch the mouse that took up residencey in my kitchen but I was either using the wrong bait or he was wise to snap traps. With two food-obsessed dogs it had to be something that wouldn’t result in a yelp and a sore nose and this trap fitted the bill. Set up was easy and within a day it caught Mickey. The trap is strong enough to ensure that a swift, powerful blow that finishes off the mouse instantly.Tip: I’ve been told London mice can be quite fussy but this one obviously couldn’t resist homemade strawberry jam. At least his final meal was a nice one. Disposal was straightforward and there was no having to touch the carcass of the deceased rodent. It’s not nice the nicest thing killing a cute living thing but when they spread disease and live in your house it’s a necessary. That’s how I consoled myself when within a few eyes there was a sharp crack from under the kitchen units where I’d placed the trap. This device ensures they are killed quickly and efficiently and it is less cruel than them dying from internal bleeding due to poisoning. Rabbie Burns said, ‘ The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry’. This one’s did - under my kitchen units. RIP Mickey.

This is really good and very effective and really easy to set up . ,caught a rat straight away using peanut butter I only had pet peanut butter but it did the trick I knocked a star off as the key is a bit awkward to use also when you catch a rat the key hole is just above where the dead rat is hanging out ughhhhh I was trying to undo the key and not touch the rat , I would have preferred the key hole maybe on the side . Apart from the issue with the key and position of the key hole excellent product .

Initially I was dubious about these traps as they had been down several days without any success. I’ve actually got cameras over seeing the area where they were & it irked me to watch 8 hours worth of footage of the rodents literally sitting on top of them but at no point sticking their heads in. I’d tried peanut butter, chocolate & biscuits to no avail. To say I was getting frustrated was an understatement as we also have 4 bait boxes out & the same again. The rats will stand on them to reach other areas but won’t take the bait. Being as j appear to have the healthiest rats ever living in my garden I decided to bait the boxes with the bird seed they keep breaking into containers to steal. Apparently that was the bait that works - aniseed flavoured bird seed. Who knew. So once I’d put some seed inside the trap I had 2 rats in under 12 hours. No idea how many more are left but I’ll keep the traps out for a while to be sure. So, because I keep birds I didn’t want anyone sticking their heads into these as they are not going to keep a curious bird out, so it was important to ensure they were out of reach at all times, as I don’t want to have any injuries or worse to something that these are not intended for. It’s also worth noting if you happen to have larger rodents then their death throes will literally bounce these traps several feet. I noticed the first one was not where I left it once triggered but the second one was caught on camera & whilst it’s fair to say I’m sure that death is quick as it appears to indeed snap the neck, the animal still thrashes about in the first few seconds & as such if they are not secured then expect to find them moved once triggered. Pleased to report that emptying & resetting is quick & easy & a dog poop bag is an ideal size to dispose of said dispatched rodents. The boxes are easy enough to get into but I cannot get the key back into the holder which is frustrating but not the end of the world. Not sure how I can clean the peanut butter out of them but that’s a problem I’ll worry about later as I’ll perhaps try hosing them out or maybe a blast with the pressure washer will suffice. My only suggestion for improvement (aside from the key thing) would be the red cable tie that’s used for setting/releasing is perhaps not ideal for someone with grip issues as it’s hard to hold if you have arthritis. I struggled a few times to grip it & pull it back enough to click into place so maybe something on the end like a bead would be better to allow people to grip it easier. But for the money they have worked out cheaper than the bait boxes & more effective with 2 confirmed kills in a short space of time once the right bait was found.

The media could not be loaded. Bought these as I had a family of rats living under my shed. I already caught 2 using a rat cage before i bought these but they seemed to avoid it so I needed something else. I caught 3 rats within about 4 days with these which only left 2 rats left now. not only do they seem to be avoiding the traps now but I only have 2 working traps left as 1 just won't stay activated and the bit of plastic has snapped of another one so can't even activate that one. Not even had them 10 days yet and I'm down to half the traps what I bought. Good traps and do the job well when they work but they seem to be more of a disposable rat trap that are useless after a few goes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, something that actually works We had a bit of a rat issue in the shed and after trying a few different traps that didn’t do much, I came across this one. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting miracles, but I was really surprised by how effective it is. The build quality is solid — it feels like it’s built to last, not like the cheap plastic ones you usually get. It’s also really easy to set up. I used a bit of peanut butter as bait, and within a few hours, it had already done the job. No fuss, no mess, and definitely no escape. I also like that it’s a lot safer to handle than some of the older traps I’ve used. You don’t have to get too close when emptying it, and resetting it takes seconds. We’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and haven’t seen (or heard) any more signs of rats. Genuinely relieved. If you’re dealing with a similar problem, I’d say give this a go — it actually does what it’s supposed to do.
