Power-Kill Rat Trap (6-Pack)

The rat stayed alive well over 20 minutes with out it dying. It was still able to breathe while it had it by the head. So I put glue traps incase it got away not HUMAN at all

Used gloves when handling (avoid human scent), peanut butter, and loss leader dabs nearby to get its confidence up. On the same night I tried their cheaper wooden version which had the butter licked off but didn't trigger.

It works well. Better than bucket or live Trap. Killed 13 rats in a week . Easy to clean and use.

I have to modify this trap to be more effective. Secured two of them on a wood and added nails for more effective kill.

They work I've gotten 6 so far in the back yard Quality item,very durable . reusable

Saw a rat run across my outdoor patio so went straight to Home Depot. Debated between this and bait based traps and went with this bc I didnt want to kill any birds. Put a piece of bread topped off with the bait gel made by Tomcat. Came across this this morning.

I bought two types of traps and this was the one that caught both mice so far. Going back for more since exterminator won't be here for a while. So much easier to setup than most traps. Kills immediately (I've seen it in action) some traps are weak and the mice run around with the trap on it for a bit. Super gross and gives me anxiety. This trap kills on site.

This trap WORKS. It is strong and does the job and it was definitely worth every penny.

Had rats in the garage so I bought a few different styles of traps, this being one of them. First off I need to point out that rats are far more intelligent than mice. Humane traps are mostly ineffective, esp. for the adults. Once I found I had more than 1 rat, I decided waiting out the humane trap was not an option. Victor has a great reputation, so I bought a few of these along with the basic snap traps. The first trap I opened was missing the sear (for lack of a better word). That's the part at the back of the trap that holds the snap back. The "sear" and little pin that holds it in place were missing. The other traps were complete. Arming was easy, and a bit safer than the basic trap, however I would suggest waiting until you place it before arming it. After arming it, I noticed the spring tension was not quite as strong as I thought it should be. There are 2 holes in the rear of the base for securing the trap to a block of wood. I did thins just in case the trap didn't immediately kill the rodent. It took the better part of a week, but I finally got one. Unfortunately it did not kill the animal quickly. I found blood spattered over the area as well as claw marks in the wood I mounted it to. This was a smaller animal. Had it been a full size adult, I don't think it would have worked. I have no problem killing when necessary, but I avoid torture....period. Pros: Easy to arm. A nice large bait area. Cons: Not enough spring tension for an instant kill. The bait area is not attached to the trip, and larger rats can get the bait without activating. Remember, they are clever!! Bottom line: For under 4 bucks you can give it a try, just remember to mount it to something. I rated this 2 stars because it is not instant kill, and for 1 new unit missing pieces. I will stick with the Victor basic snap.

Got a rat on the second try. The first time I used peanut butter and the bugger ate it all without getting caught. Second time i used a small brussel sprout I shaved down at the base and wedged in there so it would not easily come out. Worked like a charm. See the picture. I know its mean but rats can be a problem and where there is one there are bound to be many more. I will keep using this. Much easier and safer for me than the older wooden ones.
