ROSHIELD 2 x External Rat Snap Trap Control Protector Box - Rodent Safety Kit for Gardens, No Poison Solution - Green Professional Quality

I live in the country or just in it and have a large garden where we feed birds and hedgehogs. And inevitably the odd large rat... Of course, the thing about rats is that they need to be kept under control ASAP otherwise they will be out of control very quickly. So, I bought these along with many others over the years. This brand is the best. No doubt about it the quality of construction and general design is a winner. Not for the rat mind you... Few things to note. Rats are damned clever animals and very wary of traps of any kind. Some will avoid this and any other trap regardless so you need a combination of traps and poison. I prefer these kill traps because it's done and dusted and there is no body left to poison any other animal if eaten. From my use I'd say using the right bait - peanut butter - and located in the correct place which is along a wall where rats tend to run these give the best results possible. The actual traps inside are well made and easy to set with not too much risk of catching yourself if you take care. They locate positively in the container unit thus making a very solid trap indeed. Couple of things to note. I have a lot of hedgehogs around and while a full grown one would not get inside, smaller or young ones could with the consequent results not being ideal. Thus I put these on slightly raised levels so rats but not hedgehogs will investigate as well as the usual places such as outbuildings and sheds. Cats might get inside but they wouldn't go for the bait but for the dead rat or mouse in which case the trap is already activated. Small children need to be watched and I remove these when my grandchildren come over. Overall, a great rat trap.

Great product , keeps rodents out of garden, very good price.

We have a happy expanding band of rodents resident under our shed so I ordered two of these traps before they started looking for more living quarters. The traps turned up with pretty good instructions. A lot of people complain about the lock and there is a knack to it. The key must be rotated 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and held in that position as you open the box (this splays a couple of tines within the box allowing opening). A little fiddly but it works well once you have the knack. I handle the traps with gloves (even when unpacking) to avoid getting human scent on the traps. I've used a mix of nutella and birdseed as bait. The snap traps are powerful and relatively easy to set without risking fingers. The first night we had one juvenile rat, the second, two, one in each trap and the third night another. So, four rats in three nights is good going. They seem to be fairly humane as all the rats have died instantly. We tested the boxes to ensure our rabbit who roams freely in the garden cannot get into the boxes; so they are safe for her. The older rats may be harder to deal with as I suspect they get bigger by being more cautious but they may relax as the traps are around longer. I remove the rats each morning and rebait the traps in the evening. A good solid product that has worked well for us at a reasonable price. Update (29/04/20): The instructions recommend to leave the traps in place and keep them baited. They have dispatched a mouse but today, a few of weeks on have removed another rat. So, I'm really pleased with the traps and provided you follow the instructions carefully they work well and I thoroughly recommed them.

Works very well and keeps the trap away from children and pets. Caught the rat in under 12 hours with peanut butter and chorizo. Remember to use gloves to not get your scent on the trap, I didn't read the instructions and didn't wear gloves, but it did the job anyway.

Well made and as advertised, but not for me. I knew I had a rat, as I found the rat runs and set up a night vision camera overnight and had the displeasure of watching a very large rat walk over and under my decking and down my path. When I say a big rat, this thing was very well built and had obviously been well fed in the field to the rear of our home. The trap/bait boxes seem to be well engineered and the great feature that everyone will find useful will be the activation indicator using the tie-wrap, very useful, as I could see if the trap had activated from my bedroom window, no need to open the box every day. But, there are some short-comings for my circumstances. Knowing the size of the rat I faced, I was a bit concerned about the power in the trap and thought it could have done with bigger springs and dragons teeth to grip the rat. I did buy such a trap, but it did not fit in the case, so I had to use the supplied traps. I cannot stop thinking that my concerns about the trap might have been justified, as the first night that the trap was armed (4 nights left unset to get the rat accustomed to the box), the trap activated, but no rat. Apart from that incident, I caught a rodent every time I set these traps and they instantly killed the rodent, but the problem was that I was catching wood mice, which I am happy to live in peace with, they just got in the way of any potential rats who wanted to have a go at the bait - albeit, if Mr Rat had a close shave on night one, he would probably be trap shy for life. The real problem for me, that resulted in me disposing of these boxes, was part of the design. The rat needs to walks in a few inches and the trap is right in front of the rat, no curves to keep out children or pets. My cats had ignored the boxes for the first few days and had been confined to barracks due to rain for the first few nights I caught wood mice, but on a brighter day, I removed the wood mice and left the traps unset and let the cats out. My wife began shouting about the cat, I looked outside to see both of our cats going bonkers over the mouse smell in the boxes, each cat was at a different box. One cat had a front leg fully in the box and if it had been activated, the consequences would have been awful. On seeing this, I did for a second feel sick until I realised I had not re-set the traps. My experience was that I need boxes with more powerful traps and for the trap to be out of reach of a pet and I have sourced such boxes from Amazon, but they are not so well engineered as these boxes. Summary - Very well made, really useful activation indicator; but watch out for pets. if I ever get a mouse problem in the loft (or anywhere else the cats do not go), this will be my trap & box of choice, it might also be if I had a problem with smaller rats.

These traps and the boxes are really good . Young rats were coming from our neighbours garden ( turns out they lived under their shed ) and we could see the entrance they had made to gain access under the edge of our decking . Well , we didn’t want them taking permanent residence as they got bigger under our decking so we lifted two of our deck boards and placed the baited traps along the joists and loose laid the boards back down . Next day two dead young rats ! Day after two more young ones dead and then the day after that one dead large rat ! So far no more but at least we know that if any dare to stray under our deck they have a high chance of not getting out ! I will say that we used peanuts wedged into the bait hole . Wedge the peanuts in because if any larger rats come in there’s a small possibility they could reach and pick up the bait without triggering the plate ! This way they have to work at getting the bait and triggering the trap in the process ! These traps are so easy to use and cleaning is simple too and I highly recommend them as they are more humane , they kill instantly and don’t need poison to bait them . .

Bought these traps placed one in the garden with peanut nutter as bait, following morning checked the trap and found unfortunately a mouse rather than a rat in it. Work very well the box keeps the trap away from the dog

The quality is good but the locking is not the same as the one advertised. I would still say they are value for money and hope they will do the job.

parfait pour vos rats et autre rongeurs

Efficace pour les rat et rongeurs e. Tout genre. Je me suis débarrasser de tout les nuisibles.

Well I caught the rat 🐀 Thats the main thing. These boxes allowed me to place potion and trap in one location instead of separately. They didnt stand a chance really. I worried about birds getting caught but didnt go near them. I actually scattered bird seed inside them and thats what worked.

Die Schutzboxen machen einen äußerst robusten und hochwertigen Eindruck. Das Material ist stabil, wetterfest und für den Einsatz im Garten bestens geeignet. Die Fallen lassen sich problemlos im Inneren platzieren und sitzen sicher, ohne zu verrutschen. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass Haustiere und andere Tiere zuverlässig vom Inneren ferngehalten werden. Genau dafür habe ich sie gekauft, und diesen Zweck erfüllen sie absolut zuverlässig. Auch nach längerer Nutzung im Außenbereich zeigen die Boxen keine Schwächen und halten Regen sowie Schmutz problemlos stand. Die Handhabung ist einfach, das Öffnen und Schließen funktioniert sauber, und insgesamt wirkt alles sehr durchdacht. Für mich eine klare Lösung für alle, die Rattenfallen sicher und geschützt einsetzen möchten. Insgesamt ein sehr hochwertiges, funktionales Produkt, das seinen Zweck perfekt erfüllt und uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert ist.
