TRATPER Rat and Chipmunk Traps. Prevents Accidental Triggering with Dual Tunneled Design. Covered Snap Traps for Humane Kill, Reusable, Pest Control for Rats, Indoor & Outdoor Use. 4 Pack

I live in Boise, ID The city is now having a rat infestation. I purchased 4 open snap traps and had very littlie luck catching rats.. I found they were able to steal my bait and not set off the trap. Frustated I looked on Amazon and found Tratper Rat and Chipmunk Traps. First night I caught one rat..Next day I found three in dead rats in the trap.. Delighted with its performance I ordered two more for a total of 4 traps. I have 4 traps set all the time. These traps are pet friendly so I am able to place them in different spots of the yard. So far I have been able to eliminate 35 rats since April28 If you have rats, this trap is the ticket to eliminating them I use wild bird seed in the small round tray in the trap. The are very easy to set, not scary! I highly recommend if you are seeing rats in your yard and they are very affordable. Happy trapping!

II cannot say enough about this rat trap. I am SO IMPRESSED. I truly hate mice and rats but living accross from a wooded area I'm affraid it's going to be a constant battle. The only thing I dislike even more are the old school wooden spring traps. I would like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this little goddess of a trap for rodents. You my friend are going down in history. It's super easy to set these traps. Before you set the trap, flip it upside down and unscrew the little loading cup. We used peanut butter with a peanut stuck in on top. You can use your hand to undo it and put it back in. There is no screwdriver or anything needed. It's just a little half turn. Then flip it back to the correct side and place it up against a wall where you know you have rodent traffic. (where you see droppings that look like chocolate sprinkles but ytou don't want to put this kind on your ice cream) Then you can use your hand or I like to use my foot to press the mechanism down. It's the big thing in the middle that looks like a piano peddle. It's spring loaded. So you might need to put a little umph into it to get it all the way down. That is why I use my foot. You will feel it lock in place. And your good. We started catching rats on the first night. I haven't even had to change the bait for two weeks and we catch something every night. I think it's something to do with the small tunnel that makes them very comfortable. The old wood traps it was kind of hit or miss depending on how well you set the trap. Sometimes they were able to gently lick all the bait off the trap without setting it off. But not these. These are almost self setting every time. You just have to press the peddle down and it catches at the right place. I check it every morning and when I see that the peddle is back up again I know to look for a black tail sticking out. Then I just put my disposable gloves on and have my partner in crime hold a plastic bag open then I position the trap so the tunnel is horizontal and I press down on the piano peddle and out falls mr rat into the bag. Dead and stiff as a rock. Tie the bag off and put it into the trash. We have it on our back patio and we put a little doggie gate around the area so in case our dogs detect it first they can't get to it. But That is just because my silly dogs think they are ratters. They LOVE catching rats. It's so disgusting to me. When I see them do it, I'm like ok but no kisses from you today. I don't want to be near your mouth after that. But the way the trap is designed I'm not sure they would even be able to get to the rat. Maybe if they grabbed the tail and pulled on it hard enough. But I kinda doubt it. I also don't think you would have to worry about your pet getting snapped by it. The tunnel is a brilliant design. I used to put the wood snap traps out by my shed in the back and occasionally some poor baby cardnal or something would get snapped in it and I would feel so bad about that and stop using them altogether. But with this tunnel design I don't think a bird would feel comfortable going inside a tunnel on the ground level like that. So problem solved. Anyway this is a great trap and I highly reccommend it for everyone who has a problem with rats and mice.

Amazing! The best traps for catching chipmunks, rats, and mice. I have had problems for years with chipmunks and nothing has even come close to the effectiveness of these traps. Easy to bait, set, remove, and reset. I don’t even have to rebait every time. I can probably get 5 catches before having to rebait with peanut butter. Haven’t accidentally trapped a bird or other critter. The foxes sometimes get to them in the night if it’s caught something before I get to it in the morning but they can only eat the end and haven’t done any damage to themselves or the trap. I leave all my catches for them or the crows to eat. Sometimes resetting the trap can be a little finicky but I just tilt it and move it around and it eventually sets. I know they are a bit pricey but at this point they’ve paid for themselves in the damage those rodents cause and how quickly the traps work to take care of the problem as well as wasted sticky traps and traditional traps. Just get them!

Ordered these to trap striped ground squirrels. Traps were very easy to setup, set, and release what is caught. First one was caught and killed when trapped within minutes of setting it out. Second one was caught not long after. It wasn't dead but stuck in trap. We put trap in a bucket of water and successfully finished it off quickly. Very satisfied overall. We did put tape on front of it once set so as to see when trap was triggered from afar. Gave 4stars only because it may not instantly kill everything it catches.

I bought these at first being very skeptical. Once I got him, I realized they were pretty easy to set up. All you have to do is mount the bait from underneath click the trap back and then set it and forget it. The material is very durable, I actually dropped these from the attic and they survived the drop with exception of the hinges that broke. Their reusability is actually pretty good. I'm using them again and I already caught one. Their sensitivity is set just right and the trap does its job on the first snap. I did a Google search and a combination of peanut butter and cocoa spread or a chocolate spread combined. Does it every time. Good luck!!

I am so happy with this trap. It is safe to use. Easy to empty and reuse. The day before purchasing these, I'd used the old-school trap. The next morning, I saw evidence that something sprung the trap and was injured, but no body only some blood and such. Had me thinking of other critters that might get injured. This trap works. I have caught three rats in a week in my backyard. The mechanism is contained inside an appropriately sized tube so you wont accidently injure larger animals like opossums. I set them out at night and take them in during the day. There is a one-star review that has a daytime video of a squirrel playing with the trap, of course, rats play at night.

This is basically a "t-rex" style trap with tunnels on either side. "T-rex" referring to the shape of the jaws, with exactly the same trigger mechanism and bait cup. They're loads better than the old snap traps. So it works--when it can attract a mouse. But there's the problem -- mice aren't attracted. I purchased these, along with some "regular" open "t-rex" style traps. I expected the tunnel design would both protect the bait better during wind/rain, and be attractive to mice when it's cold/rainy outside ("food? in a cave? where I don't have to get wet? count me in!" I imagined the mice saying to themselves). Unfortunately, these just don't attract mice when outdoors. I'm sure they're fine if you place the tunnel opening in front of a known mouse entry/exit hole where they have no choice but to pass through, but not otherwise. I've had four of these baited for almost 2 weeks now (re-baiting regularly). On the first night, I caught 1 mouse. I thought my investment was paying off. But none since. Meanwhile, I've also had 3 of the standard "t-rex" open traps baited. I've caught 10 mice with those in the same period. I even tried swapping the position of the TRATPER tunnel trap with one of the open traps that had been catching the majority of the mice. The result? The mice went to where the tunnel USED TO BE, and were caught by the open trap. The tunnel trap just sat there undisturbed - - again, it was in the same location that had been catching the most mice with the open trap. I don't have enough cameras to say definitively that mice aren't attracted, but I did video one night where a mouse went right past the tunnel, and found one of the standard traps (and was caught by it). All-in-all, very disappointed in the ability to attract and catch mice outdoors. If that's your situation, I'd stay away. If that's not your situation, they might work a lot better -- because this kind of trigger mechanism DOES work, and the bait cup both makes it easier to bait/rebait, and makes it harder for mice/rats to steal the bait without triggering the mechanism. The tunnel might even work better in some circumstances. No issues with the quality of these that I can see (vs the standard "t-rex" style, which are awesome), and they seem like they'd hold up well over repeat uses for a prolonged time. Just the tunnels seem to make them invisible to most mice.

I have had mixed success with these traps. Two traps are included, so I set one up next to a trash can that was getting frequent rat activity and another in my shed. Both traps are set up directly parallel against a wall. The trap by the trash can has been set off multiple time with nothing inside and no signs that whatever set it off was even injured. I have yet to actually catch anything in that one. The trap in the shed has caught 4 rats in the span of about a week. All clean catches with the rat squarely centered in the jaws. Not sure what is causing the disparity here. Both traps are set against walls, both using peanut butter as bait. I like the design of the traps. The tunnels on each end force a head on entry and pretty much guarantee a clean catch. The traps are fully plastic, so time in the heat and cold will likely break down the plastic faster than wood and metal traps. I still expect to get at least a couple years of use put of them. Emptying the trap is super easy and clean: just release the jaws (can be done one-handed), dump the contents and reset. I do wear plastic gloves just for sanitary reasons, but it is definitely better than dealing with the OG traps where you have to directly touch surfaces that have come in contact with the animal. The price is fair and unless you have very large critters, these traps should work fine.

A los 20 minutos de colocarlas, atrapamos la rata que nos etaba atormentando

Estoy satisfecha con la compra, si son muy efectivas para atrapar a las ratas, el diseño ayuda a que no tenga uno contacto con la rata al retirarla. Solo es necesario poner crema de cacahuate en el deposito.

EXCELENTE. Se han estado subiendo al motor de el auto. Puse la trampa allí y es segundo día cayó una. Crema de cacahuate y un poco de queso p olor Excelente producto.

No me funcionaron

En efectividad 100%, el roedor cayo a la primera. Solo dos puntos: 1) Es muy ligera, en mi caso, coloque la trampa en una barda (ruta habitual del roedor) y, al activarse, se cayo (aprox. 1 m). Resistio el golpe, pero no se si pueda romperse o se abra la trampa, dando oportunidad de escape al roedor. 2) La primera impresion es que es pequeña. El roedor atrapado era de unos 20 cm (sin la cola), no se si funcione para animales mas grandes.
