The Big Cheese Ultra Power Ready-Baited Rat Trap – Twinpack, Kills Rats, Ready-To-Use, Easy Disposal, Plastic, Indoor or Outdoor Use, White

This is a good product and it has successfully caught the rat that was going under my decking. I have been very stressed by it all as I have a dog and diseases from the rat are not good to put it lightly to him, let alone to humans. This is an easy trap to fill with peanut butter (that is what attracted my rat) or any other bait that is recommended, but don't overfill as you have to be sure that the rat doesn't just get part way in and reaches the bait too easily. The rat has to put its head in properly to reach the bait. This is a strong spring and it does snap the trap shut quite ferociously. Also very importantly, TIE the damn thing down, or as someone else suggested, put inside a bait box as it is quite a light trap and as with my rat, he must have reversed in order to try and free himself, and therefore in the location mine was in he managed drag the trap and slip down a a gap next to the built in water feature tub. I also thought that ( perhaps too innocently), that it killed the rat outright,but alas no, and it was rather upsetting to hear the rattling of the trap as I guess he was in death throws trying to free himself. I hate killing anything and would have preferred to have got a humane trap, but I could not have got to the next stage of releasing it without having to drive out to the countryside, and I do not have a car. It is though, a clean kill,in as much as there was no mess or blood, and as far as I can make out,it probably breaks the neck I guess and traps it. If you have rodent problem, I am confident that this will do the job for you. It got mine and I am still leaving the others out for a while in case there is another rat lurking. Things to remember: place the trap where other wild life will not be tempted to try and get the bait, like hedgehogs,cats,squirrels, and even ground feeding birds, that would be a tragedy. I have ordered two more as I have a big garden,so I am ok with the effectiveness of them, For those reviewers who put things like ''it never caught anything'' patience is the key, it can take a week or more depending on the circumstances,, or if you never catch anything, maybe you don't have a problem with rodents so much as you thought. I took all the bird feeders down and removed all bird feeding equipment as recommended by the RSPB after I saw this rat, as they are attracted to the fallen bird seed, and nuts and anything else that may drop to the floor that you feed the birds on. I watched my rat eating the seed dropped by the birds directly underneath the hanging bird feeder, so this had to go, and that was a big disappointment. Anyway, hope this is helpful and they are not too expensive and at least worth a try I think you will find they are good even though they don't look meaty enough to do the job, I found them quite capable in the end.

These are quite good, easy to set with being pre baited but you can reuse them easily enough. I have had to reuse as I caught plenty of small mice but no rat yet so this is an on going project. Generally though impressed with them and they do catch something even if it's not the thing you're trying to catch. It is easy to dispose of the victim. Can recommend.

I'm not sure how to rate this trap. It caught a rat on the second day I had it out using the pre-installed bait. However, the rat was very much alive and trapped at the shoulder. This meant I had to contain it (still attached to the trap) and get it outside while it was struggling and squealing. I let it go out there, which was very easy, the traps are very simple to open and close, and left it to be eaten by the local cats. The traps are very easy to set, and easy to open once the rat is caught. This may have been just a very unlucky rat. Updated: same thing from the second trap. Caught by a leg and didn't kill. Rat dragged itself screaming across the floor.

Caught the rat in our ceiling within an hour of putting the trap down. Used some bacon fat and peanut butter in the bait trap as added treat. Trap worked 100%. So relieved!
