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

I've tried so many things to kill rats around and in my house. I used a large glue trap once and I'm still traumatized over having to finish the job of killing it! This rat trap is awesome. I put it out and in 2 days it already killed a rat and all I had to see was a large tail sticking out of it. It was easy to dispose of the rat I didn't even have to see it! Just turn it sideways and push down on the lever and it slide right out. I set it up again and waiting for the next kill! I also have small grandkids and dogs and no one touched it! It was safe to use. Highly recommend it.

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

Thank you for this AMAZING trap. This is the absolute best trap I have ever used at an affordable price. Well worth the money & investment. This is the easiest, minimal contact trap I have ever used. Simple. Turn the traps over, unscrew the bait cup, add the peanut butter to the cup, screw the bait cup back on the bottom of the trap, turn the trap back over & press down to set the trap. DONE!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! To empty, just press down & discard mice. Which, I do have to wear rubber gloves when touching the traps. The first time I used these traps, I set them under my house the night before, the only area that I have mice, I checked them the next morning & I actually had 2 mice.....yes 2 mice in 1 trap!!! A mouse in each side, in each tunnel, facing each other with their tails out the end. Looks like 1 mouse went in one tunnel & another mouse went in the other tunnel at the same time. The trap caught them both. Now, not even 24 hours later, the traps have caught 3 mice. The second trap was still set, but the bait cup was empty, so I am hoping that it was just a fluke and that the second trap works as well as the first one. I am absolutely terrified of mice & have been since I was a little girl, but now I am on daily chemo & do not want them in or around my home at all. Mice carry too many germs & diseases & I can't take a chance of being exposed to their germs & diseases!!! Even before the cancer, I refused to allow a mouse IN my home, if they got in, I stopped them immediately. Now, I don't even want them around or under my house either. This is an excellent product & is so easy to use & I HIGHLY recommend these traps. Very wise investment & you are keeping yourself & your family safe from being exposed to the germs & diseases that mice carry.

these are awesome traps BUT always a BUT... small mice are not heavy enough to set the trap off. ALL of the ones I set about 8 of them total ALL of the peanut butter was eaten. now the bigger mice work great, and ya don't have to handle or look at them. that's what I do love about the traps. breaks my heart but they are "NASTY" and cost me over 1,000 dollars to get out of my rig, and repair what the destroyed by chewing.

Upon receiving my two traps mid-day I loaded them with peanut butter and put them out. By bedtime I had caught three chipmunks and a mouse. The traps were super easy to load with food, set and place. Upon the dispatch of the critters, they were equally simple to release the spring without ever having to touch the animals. We have many large gray squirrels that do not seem to be able to enter the traps. I have yet to have to wash the units as there is no blood involved and it appears the subsequent animals are not deflected by any odor of a deceased animal. They are heavy enough that they don't flip or move from where they are placed. I highly recommend the units which are also less expensive than others on the market.

Frankly, this is generally an amazing trap. The through-tunnel design allows it to be placed against the wall, where rodents tend to run. It's easy to set and to bait, and (most importantly, to me) keeps my pets from accidentally triggering the trap and injuring themselves. A covered kill bar has a whole lot of advantages, in that it helps keep the target in the kill zone by limiting escape routes and protecting from pet injury. This is really one of the best designs that is available. In addition, the large arming lever can be operated with the foot or hand very safely, and offers no injury to human parts, as well as making the trap very easy to clear - just hold it vertically, and squeeze the trigger to release the contents. The only problem with this particular trap, and the reason for the four-star review, rather than five-star) is that the trigger latch (which holds the trap open until the trigger is tripped, and the kill bar released), which is weak and prone to breakage if the trap is accidentally dropped while armed (or sometimes while arming the trap). I have had two of these traps fail due to this particular part, and no replacement parts seem to be available so that I can repair the trap. I'm planning to have a friend print me a couple of spares, so that I can fix the one that I didn't toss out in frustration. (Oh, hey! If you happen to be the manufacturer and are reading this, send me a few of those trigger latches!) That's the only problem that I have found with this device, and the two that I bought initially have sent many furry fiends to their demise. I would certainly recommend this trap to anyone with a rodent problem. You won't have one much longer, with this trap. I've yet to see it get triggered without having killed a rodent... as long as you don't drop it. ;)

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.

Decide to write this review after setting here and having the trap. Go off three times in a row with just a few minutes in-between. I will have to say they work great. They are loud when they go off I will say that. The kill most of the time is instant sometimes it may take a second or two. But have not had any take a long time like some reusable traps I have used. Set up was easy as is empting you can just dump reset and back at it. Build seems good and like they will hold up for sometime. All in all very happy with them and thinking of buying another set of them.

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.
