Kat Sense Covered Rat Trap & Chipmunk Trap, Prevents Accidental Triggering with Tunnel Design, Quick Action Pest Control Device, Indoor Outdoor Mouse Trap, Reusable Snap Style Rodent Control

Excellent! Avoids the pitfalls of the old fashion rat/mouse trap and is easy to use. It has worked well in trapping and killing rats in the house and in the patio. The 'old fashion' (wood based) trap was a danger to hand and fingers and was difficult to set and a danger to touch or move once set. This trap resolves those problem, allows you the set the trap even before baiting it, allows you to move it after the trap is set and the tunnel leading to the trap wire protects fingers. Also, the trap, made of plastic, can be washed easily before its next use. Someone has finally made a better mouse (rat) trap!

You will not regret getting these. I personally buy products based on customer reviews and after unfortunately needing rat traps and purchasing the Kat Sense Covered traps I know I would never use anything else again. I feed birds on my deck and the occasional squirrel but at night I started getting rats so I made sure to remove all the bird feeders and placed the rat traps out at night. The first two nights nothing but every time after that the traps caught a winner or loser. The traps are extremely easy to set and empty, just holding down the lever and dispose. There is no mess inside at all as the teeth inside are not sharp. I experimented with different bait inside since apparently different rodents have preferences. There are no pesticides, they are reusable, quiet and no risk of pinching your fingers. You will never need another trap. Now if I could only get the neighbors to not leave garbage outside.

best trap ever, kills even small rodents, two at a time even. Also kills chipmunks, no mess removal, great baiting system, super safe, can't get your own fingers trapped. Super simple to use with great results. Pet safe , children safe, simple and clean.

WARNING SLIGHTLY GRAPHIC CONTENT: good hard plastic. easy to set and make work. Was very excited that within a week of putting them out I was able to capture my pest. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is more of a humane one. The Trap did not kill the rodent immediately. It Suffered the entire night it was trapped. It was able to move the trap Ten feet and if it had been able, probably leave the area with the trap. When I found it in the morning I was pretty surprised. I had to try and put more pressure on the spring to clamp down further on the animal and it only made it mad. in my opinion, the spring needs to be stronger, teeth on it need to be something sharper. not going to post a photo because I think its unnecessary.

Highly recommend!!! Easy to set and it’s made of sturdy material so my fear of accidentally setting it off it didn’t happen and I don’t think it will. Woo hoo! No chemical smell or use needed - I just put a little peanut butter in the refillable tray. This trap got a GIGANTIC RAT that kept invading my kitchen at night through the garage door within 12 hours of me setting it in the garage. I was afraid the tunnel on this wouldn’t be big enough for a rat but it absolutely is. I still have the second trap set in the garage because I unfortunately highly doubt there’s only this one invader. It kills fast and I don’t want to risk a diseased rat and its excrement around my kids! We definitely plan to reuse these as long as possible, starting with cleaning and resetting this one as soon as my husband empties the trap.

Recently I noticed my neighbors ripping up their lower wood deck, shortly after that these unwanted guests arrived. This 2nd story deck is off of my kitchen, used often as a general sitting, grilling area and is constantly visited by my children and dogs. I was HORRIFIED when rats suddenly started coming on my deck as we are clean people, no food, or garbage out there. We live in a nice area, have a nice home, I thought this only happened in dirty homes, farms and in the big city's. Apparently I was wrong. This was a 1st for me. I freaked out, read everything online, started cleaning my deck with bleach and pine scented cleaners, removed bird feeders, just hoping and praying they would just go away. Sadly they did not leave, I would hear them moving around out there and see poop around the deck. I was scared to use poison due to my small dogs, even with safe traps, I was scared the rat would die and my dogs would get it. Yet the thought of removing a dead bloody rat from a trap grossed me out and there was no way I was going to catch them and release them. I needed something easy, like a hotel they checked in and never left. (Sadly there is no such thing) Per my father, get the cheap traps, they work, so I tried the old fashioned traps. I am not sure why, but I had so much anxiety setting them, fearing it would snap my fingers. Night after night, empty, the nasty things were too smart for those. Desperate for a solution, and trying to avoid having to call an exterminator due to my tight after Christmas budget, I found these on amazon, read the reviews, mostly good but someone said they the kill was messy, which turned me off of them. After a few more tries with the old fashion traps and even trying the baking soda natural kill method, I was desperate and ordered them. Let me just say these are SO SO SO easy to use. I put peanut butter in the feeder, pulled the lever and put them out at night. The next morning I was shocked when I saw tails coming out of the traps. I will admit I freaked out, hesitated, having to face my kill, expecting it to see blood and guts everywhere. THANKFULLY, it was easy, no mess, no blood, no having to see him. With one hand holding a garbage bag, the other hand released the trap, and he was easily in the trash. I put the traps out again the next night, and again, in the morning I saw tails again. It was quiet for a few days or again I was in denial till one walked casually across my deck looking at me. Feeling more comfortable with the traps and determined to take them down, I decided to get creative, I lightly spread some peanut butter at the entrance of the traps and sprinkled cinnamon over it, to get the smell out there. The next morning I saw another tail. I have 5 down so far and can not thank these traps enough for making this horrible situation easier for me. Surely this has to be all of them, however I am going to continue to put them out for the next month, even ordering 2 more to put on the lower level yard in hopes of getting them before they get to my house. My method with kids and pets is, put these out at night, remove in the morning, clean & disinfect deck daily and repeat. Despite what the internet says, the smell of bleach and pine do not seem to keep them away, but good for disinfecting. I use creamy peanut butter and sprinkle cinnamon on top of it. They apparently love the smell of cinnamon and based on my results it appears to be true. Other Pro's - The price is good, fast shipping

I bought a two pack of these traps to help me take care of a mouse problem. Never dealt with mice before and I wanted something foolproof, and sanitary. These traps looked to be a good solution. When I first got them, they worked flawlessly. I put a dab of peanut butter into the bait cup, and set the traps along walls I knew they liked to run along. I caught 6-8 mice in the first 3 days. Now I'm stuck with smart mice who are able to come in, eat the bait, and leave without triggering the spring mechanism. Instead of eliminating these mice (I think there's 2-3 left), I'm now providing meals for these little jerks. I don't know what to do. Maybe they're too small and aren't putting enough weight on the trigger plate to snap the jaws down? I'm going to order one of these electronic traps that are supposedly more effective as they don't rely on the size of the mouse to trigger the trap. It sucks, tho because I liked these jaw traps and was really encouraged when they caught those 6-8 mice in the beginning. I would suggest the makers of these traps add some sort of control that let's you increase or decrease the sensitivity of the trigger plate. Or even just makes the trigger plate more sensitive.

I have two of them set up but haven’t caught anything yet. But most likely because I already used other traps and repellants. These are strong, seemingly good snap force, easy to bait and set up. The access hole for mice or rats is also a good size. Would recommend this to others.

Captured 5 rats and 2 mice so far

Definitivamente las volvería a comprar son efectivas y funcionales, evitan que mascotas metan la pata y el roedor no sufre ya que el golpe es demasiado rápido y fuerte. Para liberar la trampa no hay que tener contacto directo solo levantar el seguro y tirar directo a una bolsa o la basura. Seguro y práctico.

Exactly as described

Trabajan de maravilla, las deja bien muertas y no hacen desorden, llevo dos días con ellas ya hemos atrapado 4 ratas. 100% recomendables!

Funcionó muy bien. La rata se resistió varios días a comer el cebo que cambie varios durante varios días. Lo dejo como oportunidad de mejora el poder tapar una salida puesto que el roedor ve un túnel y no ingresa a comer con confianza. Además que cuando lo puse en la ruta la rata lo esquivaba.
