M144 Instant Power-Kill Easy Set Rat Trap - 6 Reusable Rat Traps

As disgusting as it is to see dead rats in a trap, it's a lot more quick acting than bait stations. I found that these traps are much less complicated (and therefore safer) to use than other traps I've seen of this type. Although they are a little smaller than other traps, I've been able to snag several very big rats because the bite is pretty powerful. For those brave at heart, you can release the dead rat into your trash. Easy to clean if you like. But I am so horrified about the rats that I use a shovel to scoop up the trap and the dead rat and pitch the whole thing. Not very economical for me, but that's my choice. The only down side for me is that the pressure required to set it is hard on my arthritic hands. But that's what makes it effective and I think someone with more youthful hands would have no trouble. It's surprising how effective such a simple device can be.

They work great 👍😃

Well the rat was able to smatch the food from the first trap without setting it off. The second time it did kill one, not immediately, however. I had to hear the rat fighting for its life for several minutes, while also splattering blood all over my kitchen. Pretty gruesome thing to have to clean up. Effective? Yes. Humane? Not sure about that one. I won't make yall look at a photo of that.

Very easy to use. Simple to set. These are meant to be easily reused, but I don't have the stomach for that. Great construction, very sturdy. Very high tension kill bar. I caught a couple very quickly, had to be a little patient for the last two as they were a bit leery. I put them in a known area right up against the wall. I also sprinkled baking soda through a sifter on the floor so I could see their little footsteps and where they were gaining entrance. I never heard them being caught (no struggle or thrashing), and from the looks of it I feel death was pretty immediate which was important to me. Although quite horrifying to have them in my space, I did not want the animal to suffer a horrible slow death. I will definitely buy more of these if need be, but I hope I don't have to!

These work fantastic and will save you money. The way this is constructed makes it very easy and simple to remove rat and reboot for the next. I have bought two bundles of these and taken out small mice to large Jurassic rats. I have take. Out at least 20 so far and reuse the traps every time unlike the traditional ones which can be messy and too close for comfort removal of dead rat: I had only one rat that got away stunned but is was not far away from the trap where I was able to capture him. Baiting is simple, usually I use peanut butter but the rats and mice in our area prefer meats, so chicken mixed with French bread seems to work every time.

I bought these to trap California ground squirrels, and I liked that the traps were reusable. The instructions were extremely simple, and the traps were easy to bait and place, with no danger to me. However, the traps were repeatedly sprung, and the bait taken, with no squirrels caught. All I can guess is that the animal can approach the bait from the rear of the trap (where you press down to set it), and grab the bait without triggering the trap. At any rate, they are worthless to me.

At first, this trap is very effective, and I would give it 5 stars. Put peanut butter in the bait well, set the trap near rat traffic and - bam! - you've got dead rat. Unfortunately, rats are very clever, and can smell either your scent on the trap or the scent of dead relatives (even nearby), and would not come near the same area nor the trap in it. That being said, you'll likely need to use a new trap for every single rat you wish to catch. Oh, and they also quickly figure out what the trap is all about, and stop going for it. So, in a nutshell - this product works great but only for a short time and is not reusable. We ended up hiring exterminator service which placed bait stations around the house, which finally got rid of the rats. Their technician said that where's one rat caught, there are 10 more nearby. So, from financial standpoint, mechanical trap like this is not very cost effective. And since we've caught 3 rats with it, there were theoretically 30 more out there. I could not imagine setting up 30 rat traps, nor expect them to be as effective as those bait stations. That's why I ended up giving it 3 stars. Good luck to everyone else out there!

i bought the 6 pack in i 4 days caught 6 rats in the house - very fast humane kills on 4 either on head or neck - one caught just above the tail probably as it walked by the trap, i heard the trap snap and was able to kill quickly - the 6th was aweful it was snapped about the chest area and didnt find it for a day as it was able to crawl to its nest with the trap still on it, finally located its nest and killed it but it suffered a lot - traps are super easy to set and much safer than the old wooden ones, are easy to clean and very easy to bait - just be aware not every time will it be a quick humane kill

Watch your fingers, these have a powerful kill bar and the release mechanism seems very light. Removing the dead rodent is pretty straight forward - pull the catch bar back, and let them fall off into a garbage bag. Simple to bait as well. I would recommend buying them.

This trap is powerful enough to snap those rats immediately! I Setup 3 traps upon arrival and the traps were "Fuĺll" within 10mins past sundown. I am totally satisfied with this prod7uct

watch your fingers very powerfull

Although good I like these better than the original Victor traps for the setting process. Less likely to set off and catch a finger. They're really easy to use and so far very effective - less mess. We've reused them multiple times with no issues.

Prompt service! The design is small but attached to base… no problem. The kill bar is exactly what they say. Very hard… keep fingers away.
