Inhumane
1 of 5 stars
By Tammy in Coonut Creek, florida on 04/13/2016

It worked - CAUGHT the rat, but didn't kill it. The rat was trapped by its head, then ran around my garage dragging the tap with it for 24 hours, until I could get a neighbor to come and put it out of…

Works well
5 of 5 stars
By Linda in Long Beach, CA on 12/12/2010

The trap is easy to set and fill with bait. A few times I found it in the closed position with no rodent. But I think it's a vast improvement over the old wooden traps.

Things run off
1 of 5 stars
By Rose in Tucson on 07/01/2016

So, we set this, tied it down as others recommended. The T Rex chomps down on the critter, and they are able to pull themselves free because the critters use the tie down as traction to keep pulling t…

Very Snappy Traps
5 of 5 stars
By David in Jefferson MD on 06/05/2017

These are great traps with a hair trigger release. Much better than wood snap traps. Have to be careful loading them as they are very sensitive.

By Bryan in Dayton, OH on 07/31/2018

I'm having a hard time recommending this item. On the one hand, I've caught several rats and chipmunks with it and it performed flawlessly. It's easy to set, reset, clean, and bait. However, of the fo…

Rat Trap
4 of 5 stars
By Henrietta in Pensacola, FL on 03/15/2013

I purchased this for a friend as they have used this before with great success. It's easy to use (but be careful not to snap it on your fingers) and immediately breaks the neck of the rodent.

5 of 5 stars
By Roy in Algonac, Michigan on 07/21/2018

A little peanut butter with a couple sunflower seeds stuck in the middle is all you need. My husband got rid of 15 chipmunks and even a few mice within a week.

Not durable

By Donald in Seaside Ca. on 05/04/2019

I've gone thru several dozen of these. The catch mechanism often fails and the trap becomes un-settable. I no longer buy them.

This is the same trap the pros use. That is how I found it. I caught one of the little bastards the other day with a Snickers bar. It's a better mouse trap.
