    Quality Humane traps

    Review date 19/10/16 Ordered a trap and received two! Hadn't realised that was the offer. That said, we set one trap two weeks ago now and despite the food we've put on each day, only once was it empty and the cage not sprung. We have now set two traps (we're as certain as we can be we only have one rat as it has a destinctive light band on it's tail) bated with chocolate attached to the triggers themselves. Well, today we've caught two squirrels (or the same stupid one twice) and on one occasion the rat was digging the ground very hard at the side of the cage to get at the squirrel. My husband released the squirrel and rebated the trap. For the first time we're leaving the traps set overnight in the hope of catching the rat. I'm sure if it wasn't Houdini reincarnated he'd be caught by now! The fact he isn't, I don't think is anything to do with the trap design. Second review date 30/10/16 By stopping feeding the birds, putting fallen leaves and garden debris in and around the two cages, placing black polythene around the debris on the outside and clearing everything away from where they come from behind the shed, we have now caught 1 adult and 9 self surviving young. They have all been released over a period of a week and a half at the same site miles from any habitation. They like peanut butter. Interestingly all were let out with the opening of the cage in the same direction at the same place. All young went in the same direction but the adult ran passed us in the opposite direction. We still have the cages camouflaged and baited. They are extremely good cages with good trap mechanisms allowing relatively safe release however, my 4 star review is because I think they could come with some help along the lines of the tactics we tried. It would appear rats, by nature, are trap shy.

  • Most critical review

    OK but need modifying slightly.

    I bought one of these initially, and it was such good value and so effective that I later ordered another two. While the first one was faultless, the second two, though almost identical to the first, were definitely less well made and with the trigger mechanism having been altered in design and pretty useless. After modifying the trigger mechanisms myself to be more like that of the first trap, these traps also worked fine, but I shouldn't have needed to do this.

  • Strong construction but poor mechanism.

    These rat cages are of strong steel construction. They actually have a lock mechanism which is probably unnessary as they have two strong springs that keep the door closed. There one drawback is that the wire that attaches to the bait is not long enough, leaving the bait suspended in the cage. I have caught several rats and a couple of mice. As it is they work quite often but would be perfect if the food attachment wire was at least an inch longer, allowing the bait to rest on the floor of the cage. This small change in design would make the difference between a 4 star score and a 5 star score. I use peanut butter on bread as bait but recently tried a small piece of bacon. Smoked bacon is good because they have a good sense of smell and it seems to overpower the human smell which they fear. Wearing latex gloves when handling the trap and bait also helps and protects against disease. They are good value as having two, doubles your chances of catching a rodent. I am averaging one per night and have caught 21 rodents in the last 3 weeks with these and one similar slightly smaller trap of different manufacture.

  • All we caught were hedgehogs!

    Part of the trap was already rusting on arrival, so I can't say it is good quality. However, it's not a lifetime's investment and will do the job for a while. All we trapped in the end were hedgehogs when we were after the rat we had seen routinely on the night camera. The Hedgehogs were grumpy, but totally unharmed so I can confirm the trap does not hurt the critters. Baited with more Mars bar, and well away from the hedgehog's feeding area (absolutely no chocolate there), we put the trap next to the rat's home. Rat was too canny. We never managed to catch it this way so have had to fall back on bait boxes.

  • A fantastic product that works.

    After trying everything available to get rid of squirrel s out of my loft, I bought these and within an hour of putting them up with nuts in them I had caught two, put them back up and caught another two, a fantastic result, a brilliant product , hope I never need to use it again as sealed up an entry point.a great, well worth the money product.

  • Works, but.......

    I used this the first day i got it and caught a rat first time. However I think it's a bit too small as a humane rat trap as the animals tail and one back leg was trapped in the door and I had to kill it. It's a shame that you can only say yes or no to the questions above. I would recommend it as a trap for smaller mammals but not for rats as it's too small. Also the quality is not good or bad but it is about what you would expect for the price

  • OK

    As others have said needs a slight adjustment on the bait bar . Easy fix , could do with a bit padding during shipping one was slightly bent but again easy to fix , for the price you can’t go wrong 2 traps for the price of one is a bargain

  • As yet no success, give it time.

    The product is good value and quality for the price, but dont be in a hurry to catch a rat because as soon as the cage is installed the rats wont go near. Im told it takes weeks for them to become used to them being there.

  • How to get the best out of these great traps

    First of all, you might need to spend 30 seconds with a pair of pliers to get the catch that holds the door open just how you want it, I did this to get an easy smooth release. I also spent another 30 seconds moving the springs to another hole so they were tighter so the trap sprung more quickly. After that they were amazing, they are also well built and very sturdy. I tried various baits including peanut butter on crackers, bird seed, mealworms, and slices of hot dog sausages. The rats spent a couple of days sniffing around the outside but wouldn’t go in, but after a couple of days I found that the food had gone but the sneaky rat had avoided the trigger wire. I then put out some more hot dog sausages and crackers, and also smeared the trigger wire with peanut butter, again I found the food gone but no rat and the peanut butter on the wire untouched. I then speared a whole hot dog sausage onto the trigger wire inside the cage, so it was hanging down, if they wanted any food then there was no choice but to try the hot dog and that would spring the trap. This worked every time and I found two very angry rats in the cages, which I popped into a Sainsbury’s bag and then released them into the wild near a driver a few miles away. Great traps if you use them properly and another top tip is to cover the floor of the trap in soil, bark, or some other garden material.

  • good value

    I bought 2 of these and have had mixed success with them. I have caught squirrels with them during the day, but at night ,It must have been a rat, managed to chew through the internal springs, lift up the door and escape. I have now mixed hot chilly powder with grease and smeared the springs with it to deter chewing. It hasn't been back since so I don't know if this works yet.
