Does this trap really work to kill rats? What bait is best to use?

I wouldn't say it's the trap that kills rodents, it's the bait you use to kill them. This trap just funnels the rats toward the bait while keeping other animals, like dogs, away from the poison. As for what I'd suggest, while your mileage may vary, I got rid of a rat infestation with the following bait in less than a week. JT Eaton 166004 709-PN Bait Block Rodenticide Anticoagulant Bait, Peanut Butter Flavor, for Mice and Rats (9 lb Pail of 144), Green

How large is the opening?

Large enough for a large rat but too small for a grown cat or dog. Not good for small dogs and kittens. Bait (Peanutbutter based) is way inside so I think it is 95% pet safe.

Will this work for squirrels?

We don't recommend using this product for squirrels. It is only labeled for rats and mice.

Have the trap but did not have any bait, what kind of bait do I buy?

Neogen's 000550 Rodent Bait Station does not come with bait. We recommend using with Ramik Mini bars, Havoc blocks, Di-Kill blocks or CyKill blocks.

L**!

Great Rodent Bait Trap!

This was recommended on a YouTube video while searching how to rid rats/mice in our attic. I hate the thought of killing anything but the rats were out of hand and its dangerous. Snap traps were not working; they stole the food on them! Smart little critters! After several months of use, we have heard zero critters. It is now springtime, and I think they are gone. Great price for something that is easy to use and has been effective!

Work as Intended

Context: Bought these as an exterminator friend recommended them. Pros: - Work as intended. - Special keys needed to open. - Can hold 4 pieces of bait, which is plenty. Cons: - Light weight and will blow away unless you secure it to wherever you put it. Overall: 5/5; Gets the job done.
