Extra Large Rat Traps That Kill Instantly, Super Heavy Duty Humane Mouse Traps for Indoors and Outdoors, Squirrel Trap with High Capture Rate Safe for Family and Pets(2PCS)

Snapped a few necks. Work great

I like mice as pets, but unfortunately not as unpaying guests.Some time ago, I caught some live in a humane trap - but that's pointless as it's illegal to release them near residental areas (I took them on a freedom outing to the woods instead).So really they have to be killed :(The mice I catch are really small, about 2inches in length, so really don't weigh very much. When I initally set these traps they were easily able to eat their trace peanut butter last supper and vanish without triggering the trap.With my mechanical mindset (which undertood not to get fingers trapped when setting), I just bluetacked a pound coin just past the pivot point of the seesaw sufficiently increasing the sensitivity.Mousey caught had a cute non-stressed expression on his/her face, the bar had come down on the tummy.But no bodily damage, and nothing that would upset the squeamish. Just imagine you've seen someone prepared at the undertakers and not at the morgue (or on TV, since every second programme shown these days is of someone's grizzly death)Anyway, with mousey carried to the back of the garden and dumped over the rear wall, he/she will make a nice meal for the remaining wildlife that frequents this place (magpies, crows, foxes)These traps are sufficiently constructed for the purpose.

Speedy deliveryBoth traps went off no Rat yet...Trying againTraps went off again no joyWent to local CoOp and got a trapRat killed 1dayMy advise sadly don't buy this..

still waiting for a capture

Well, I've waited a while before reviewing because I wanted to see the effectiveness of the product.The products are snappy. If you set it off yourself and get your fingers caught in them then it flipping hurts, so the quality of them are pretty good. But ...I loaded with cheese, pushing the cheese into the recepticle to ensure the rat had to stand on and trigger the trap to get at it. Well, I had to load it several times as the rat would ignore it but after a while when checking it to see if I need to reload it I noticed the cheese had gone. The trap had not triggered but it still took the cheese! So, after all this wait it appears that the trigger is useless.I'll reload and wait but not hopeful.

Got these traps and set them both in place the afternoon I got them.When I checked a few hours later both traps had been triggered with a large dead rat caught in one of them.Did a brilliant job. Quick, clean and efficient. Obviously be vary carefull setting these in place once armed as they are very powerful so be sure to keep them away from any children or pets. Secured in place by a length of wire to ensure the trap cannot be moved or lost if triggered.

So easy to set up, I ordered these ones, as it had a very clear on screen step by step stage in which to set these up. I was terrified of breaking my fingers on these. But they were easy to set up & I just followed the diagrams. I like the fact that these are re-usable, so its good value for money. Unfortunately poison costs alot & you need to keep replacing it.

I have a rat problem thought these traps looked robust, they are. However whilst one clicks into place the other does not hence cannot be set. You have to be extremely careful as the spring is very strong. Try as I may one trap will not work, looking closely at it the metal bar does not sit into the plastic groove so it just snaps shut. Disappointing but cannot return as had to set one today to catch a rat.
