This thing was a God send. Unfortunately, our home was visited by the live version of the Rats of NIMH. It was so smart that it would not fall for conventional traps and it seemed to eat the rat poison with no problem. It was chewing through pipes and wires and I did not think an end was in sight. I bought this trap. I had to set food outside the cage one day. And inside the cage the next. Finally on the third day I put the food all the way in the trap and it worked.

I have used these for smaller squirrels that were digging under my house and patio. While I don’t like to do things like that I also don’t like all of the foundation around my house torn up. They’re easy to work and it’s nice to have my home rid of the squirrels.

What a good little trap for the price. We had these crazy chipmunks gnawing on the wall of our house to build a nest. And with sunflower seeds I immediately caught 2 chipmunks and accidentally caught one field mouse and one small bird. All were released and unharmed. Remember to check the trap often!

This cage was the right size and easy to set up. When I set it out to try to catch a chipmunk, a squirrel got caught inside. It wrecked that cage so badly; I wasn't sure I could free it. The squirrel after it couldn't get out began gnawing on the cage and was making a dent in the metal! The metal is really thin, reminds me of chicken wire. It's a good cage if you can catch what you want inside. It worked, but it was flimsy against anything I assume that's larger than a chipmunk. The damage to the cage was so great. I only owned it for two days before I had to trash it after the squirrel got caught inside. I'm not saying you shouldn't purchase it, but just keep in mind the cage wiring is flimsy. You can only catch something that is not able to bend or tear up the wiring or the trip plate inside.

Oh boy, I can see why customers would return this item. It is very cheaply made and with no instructions, it took me a minute to figure out how it works. Made in China and feels like braces wire. It can easily be moved around since it weighs about 3 ounces and it appears to be so flimsy that any self respecting chipmunk would be able to get out. Not worth the money. Buy American made.

My rat was very smart. He seemed to know from the get-go that this was a trap. He was not falling for the peanut butter on a Ritz. I finally mixed some peanut butter with a little bird seed and put some right outside the trap, right inside, and the finally on the trigger that closed the door. Winner winner! Was able to let him go without injuring him. This trap is self explanatory and super easy to use. Tricking the rat is the hard part.

This is a perfectly well made trap. It's sturdy. It's not hard to set. The rats are really smart. They walk around it. They walk over it. They had a little party next to it, with music and everything. They didn't even wear masks, which I found to be hopeful in this time of pandemic. But they did NOT go in it. No way, no how. I've baited it with everything yummy. I've let it sit there, quietly, to get the rats used to it. Nothing. Period. I'm thinking of using it as a planter.

trapped one the first night and again the next morning plan to order more they work.
