Wide Pedal Snap Rat Traps, 9-Pack, FSC Certified Wood

These Victor rat traps worked exactly as expected. They were very easy to set up, and the wide plastic pedal made them simple to use. The traps are sturdy, reliable, and worked quickly when needed. I also like that there are no chemicals or poisons involved, which gave me peace of mind. Cleanup was straightforward, and the traps can either be reused or disposed of after use. If you’re looking for an effective, easy-to-use rat trap, I would definitely recommend these. They made dealing with the problem much easier, and I would purchase them again.

These are my favorite traps and work great, killing instantly. Until recently they were very easy to set. This box has had two poorly machine traps out of four I have opened, as you can see from the bent bar here. These poorly machine traps won’t stay set and have to go in the trash. I’m lucky I didn’t break my finger when they snapped shut for no reason (yes, I was on the firm setting!) Never had this issue before with Victor traps and hoping I got a bad batch.

Very effective traps. Caught 10 rats in 48 hours in my mobile. The cold weather brought them in. Made a mix of 50% honey cornbread mix and 50% baking soda with a little sugar and a little bacon fat. What didn't get caught in the traps were eliminated with the home made bait. It is safe around pets. The rats and mice cannot fart so the baking soda causes them to explode internally. Finding them dead outside my trailer too. The plastic pans are way more sensitive than the old ones that had a metal pan. Very touchy and you really have to watch your fingers. Easy to get pinched. I find holding the trap down with my left hand and holding the plastic pan with my right index finger with palm over the metal trap will save your fingers. Got bit on my right index finger till I figured this method out. One side of pan is more sensitive than the other side. It's marked on pan.

Update 10/27 The traps are still doing great! I ended up ordering more, and so far they’ve taken out eight rats. I’ve learned that a little adjustment can make a big difference — using a bit more peanut butter and setting the plastic pedal to be less sensitive has worked best at catching the rats that weren’t getting caught before. The main takeaway is that you may need to tweak things a bit depending on the behavior of the rats in your area — some are more skittish or cautious than others. I’ve also noticed that they’ll sometimes change their paths to avoid the traps, so moving them occasionally can help. I have large trees where they seem to live, so I’ve caught more than I first expected, and I plan to keep the traps out for a while. Just be mindful of where you place them, especially if you have kids or pets around. One thing to note: I did have a squirrel trigger a trap once. It didn’t die, and I was able to release it safely, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall, these traps have been very effective, and I can see why so many professionals use them. Highly recommend. ************************************************ I’ve had great success with the Victor M205-9 Easy Set Snap Rat Traps. In a short time, we’ve eliminated 4 rats outdoors. The traps are very sensitive, which I consider a major plus—it ensures they trigger quickly and cleanly. I’ve found the best baiting method is to put a few small drops of peanut butter in the little bait cup near the base of the pedal. This encourages the rat to step directly on the trigger, resulting in a swift and humane kill. The tension is high, which may seem intense at first, but it’s exactly what you want for an instant result. I did have a couple traps trigger without catching anything early on, but since adjusting the bait amount (less is more), they’ve worked flawlessly. I haven't had these for long, but I could see the staples coming out over time, which hold the spring and kill bar. Once a rat is killed, it's easy to pick it up by the trap, avoiding contact with the rat, and then put in a bag and toss in the trash. Highly recommended if you're looking for a reliable, quick, and environmentally conscious rat trap.

Very strong trap - requires a little effort to 'cock; the trap and when an animal actives the pan the trap snaps instantly and the animal is killed instantly. I have discovered that with the innovative pan/lever interaction that turning the trap upside down is the easiest way to set it. The reason for the 4-star is the at the lever staple pulled out of the trap base and that trap has become inoperative - the other traps continue to work - effectively trapping pack rats and other rodents.

Worked like a champ! New fangled plastic ones- fail. Gluey ones- no action. Old tried and true- 2X winner! Problem solved!

Tried to set these traps on the fastest setting none was able to be set. But I did get them to be set up on the hardest setting. But only after i got snapped on the finger once. These traps are very dangerous to use. I had these in the past they worked fine but of course stuff made today is always so disappointing. Don't waste your money.or a broken finger I got lucky it snapped me on the meaty part .

I have used these traps before with great success, but this box of 8 are so hair trigger it is really hard to set them. Caught my thumb on one. I would send them back but threw the box away and they have peanut butter as bait.

più che soddisfatto

As said in other reviews get the M205 not the M205R. Even the M205 spring tends to bend after 7 or 8 goes so get the 12 pack. You'll see the paths the rodents make. I've found putting 2 traps together side-by-side with springs in opposing orientations across the run works. Put loads down and you'll get them. No bait required. I've taken over 40 out in the past week alone. Very effective traps.

Absolutely garbage trap. The plastic does not support the metal bar. Impossible to set up without breaking your fingers…avoid

only received one!
