## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Works well - but be patient. - We have a rat in our loft for a couple of months (confirmed by placing a WiFi camera up there to monitor) very clever rat who had figured out how to dodge classic snap traps, these came close a couple of times but the sneaky rat ducked at the last millisecond avoiding the kill bar and making off with some free liquorice allsorts! I bought this as I thought we would try a cage trap as a last attempt at trying to sort the problem ourselves before calling someone in, as poison left up there for over a month hasn't worked (so far) either, but they've been loving munching on it. Placed the trap up there the day it arrived but secured the door open with a cable tie and baited it to allow the rat to get comfortable with entering it before setting it for real. After seeing the rat visit and take the bait a couple of times I removed the cable tie and waited. It took three days for it to return to the trap, but it finally caught the rat tonight, so I'm pleased to say that the trap performed perfectly. Triggered instantly when the rat stepped on the trigger plate and the springs on the door are strong enough that it couldn't let itself out. Felt confident carrying the trap by the handle with the solid plate on the top protecting your hands from the understandably scared critter within. Now you can't just release rats into the wild on others land, as you're just moving on a problem to a new area, so had to figure out a way to humanely dispatch the caught rat (baking soda, vinegar and storage container to act as a makeshift gas chamber was the answer to that so not the most pleasant of evenings truth be told, but rowena rat was sent to heaven swiftly and without struggle) I will be placing this back in the loft with more bait as I suspect we likely had more than one squatter up there, but I'm very happy with how it has performed. It was well sized for the adult female rat I caught and I believe it would just as easily catch a slightly larger rodent too. All in all a very sturdy, solidly built and effective trap. Instructions were clear enough, though setting it was a little fiddly at first, but once you manage it once, it's very simple to repeat - just don't plop the trap down too hard once you've set it or it will slam shut when you do.
Review: Works, but is a bit faffy - Irritated that i had to buy 2 of these at once - so note to seller - one at £9 is ok - having to buy 2 when you just want one - not very happy., but anyway. These are robust, sturdy, well made - however setting them is a bit faffy, and them unsetting themselves whilst you're trying to position them is the biggest issue. The 'clip' is too easily released and i just ended up spilling any bait through the floor (the bait plate is just flat - and our rats like bird seed so we've been using that - the two here are not compatible) due to each time it tried to position the trap it released the very loud very tightly sprung door. We did catch one rat the first day we put it out though once i'd tiptoed away from the uber sensitive trap, however, all the other rats are now steering well clear ofit partially i think because it made such a loud noise when it was sprung. The spring and clipping mechanism could be better designed. Also we have one of the other styles with a small elevated hole and a 'none return' flap which i feel happier about leaving out all night. We get squirrels and the occasional cat in our garden in the early morning (clearly not often enough to disturb the rats!) but if a squirrel got in there i fear his tail could be badly damaged by the strength of the door snapping shut as he is longer than the trap of course with tail .... and a cat could end up with an injured back for the same reason. Sooo i think if you're using indoors or in an outbuilding where cats and squirrels - long tail larger species can't access - these will work - but i'm still wary of using outside unless i can confine the area - and thats hindered by the sensitivity of the door closer/release. Anywhere niche i've tried to snickle it into - it just snaps shut and i'm back to delicately trying to place it down on the ground and gently nudge it ... and then BANG door closes and i'm back to square one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be big enough to live catch a young rabbit?**
A: If you could get it in there, then yes. I've caught (but not wanting to) a couple of chunky hedgehogs who obviously couldn't resist the lure of a broken Twix finger and it's creamy caramel topped wafer biscuit... dammit.... can someone get me out of this trap.... hello? Someone...? :)

**Q: Both my traps are extra sensitive- I can't set them. Any tweaks I can make?**
A: I found using a bit of masking tape to wrap a single layer around each of the two setting arms that touch, allowed enough grip to keep the trap 'loaded' without tripping. Also putting a small weight on the top of the trap prevents it being knocked and also setting off the trap.

**Q: My rat turns out to be a squirrel- will this work for him?**
A: Most definitely should...ours turned out to be a baby hedgehog who was very indignant about being kept securely incarcerated overnight :)

**Q: Can it catch a mouse? I'm not sure if its a mouse or a rat in the garage. Its rustling quite alit. Eeeeek**
A: It would probably trap an adult mouse but it will also catch squirrels and hedgehogs and birds if used outdoors, also they can be tricky to set, as you are using it in a garage it would be Ok but I have also used these baited humane kill traps The Big Cheese STV149 Ultra Power Rat Traps (Ready Baited, Easy to Set, Twin Pack), White. these should never be used outdoors, I inadvertently caught and killed a Wren.
