TRATPER Rat and Chipmunk Traps. Prevents Accidental Triggering with Dual Tunneled Design. Covered Snap Traps for Humane Kill, Reusable, Pest Control for Rats, Indoor & Outdoor Use. 4 Pack

Chipmunks are adorable but they were out of control on my property. They tunnel under my sidewalks til my pavers collapse and they were getting into my siding and downspouts. No deterrents had an impact so I finally tried these to at least address the ones that were ruining my house. Got my first one the morning after setting it with peanut butter as bait. I emptied and reset it and got a total of four the first day. One more the next. I can’t recommend these enough. Need some smaller ones for mice.

II cannot say enough about this rat trap. I am SO IMPRESSED. I truly hate mice and rats but living accross from a wooded area I'm affraid it's going to be a constant battle. The only thing I dislike even more are the old school wooden spring traps. I would like to shake the hand of the person who came up with this little goddess of a trap for rodents. You my friend are going down in history. It's super easy to set these traps. Before you set the trap, flip it upside down and unscrew the little loading cup. We used peanut butter with a peanut stuck in on top. You can use your hand to undo it and put it back in. There is no screwdriver or anything needed. It's just a little half turn. Then flip it back to the correct side and place it up against a wall where you know you have rodent traffic. (where you see droppings that look like chocolate sprinkles but ytou don't want to put this kind on your ice cream) Then you can use your hand or I like to use my foot to press the mechanism down. It's the big thing in the middle that looks like a piano peddle. It's spring loaded. So you might need to put a little umph into it to get it all the way down. That is why I use my foot. You will feel it lock in place. And your good. We started catching rats on the first night. I haven't even had to change the bait for two weeks and we catch something every night. I think it's something to do with the small tunnel that makes them very comfortable. The old wood traps it was kind of hit or miss depending on how well you set the trap. Sometimes they were able to gently lick all the bait off the trap without setting it off. But not these. These are almost self setting every time. You just have to press the peddle down and it catches at the right place. I check it every morning and when I see that the peddle is back up again I know to look for a black tail sticking out. Then I just put my disposable gloves on and have my partner in crime hold a plastic bag open then I position the trap so the tunnel is horizontal and I press down on the piano peddle and out falls mr rat into the bag. Dead and stiff as a rock. Tie the bag off and put it into the trash. We have it on our back patio and we put a little doggie gate around the area so in case our dogs detect it first they can't get to it. But That is just because my silly dogs think they are ratters. They LOVE catching rats. It's so disgusting to me. When I see them do it, I'm like ok but no kisses from you today. I don't want to be near your mouth after that. But the way the trap is designed I'm not sure they would even be able to get to the rat. Maybe if they grabbed the tail and pulled on it hard enough. But I kinda doubt it. I also don't think you would have to worry about your pet getting snapped by it. The tunnel is a brilliant design. I used to put the wood snap traps out by my shed in the back and occasionally some poor baby cardnal or something would get snapped in it and I would feel so bad about that and stop using them altogether. But with this tunnel design I don't think a bird would feel comfortable going inside a tunnel on the ground level like that. So problem solved. Anyway this is a great trap and I highly reccommend it for everyone who has a problem with rats and mice.

This trap is worth every penny! I got a rat on the first night I put it out. Hats off to the engineer who designed such an amazing conTRAPtion---see what I did there hehe. The design is perfect. The bait cup is easy to fill and setting the trap is literally as easy as pushing one button. Its not remotely dangerous or scary to set like the old wooden board and bail type traps. Once you catch ratatoullie all you do is press the button again to release him into the trash, then press the button agian to reset and then wait to catch his cousin next. Cant say enough about how perfect this trap design is!

I have had mixed success with these traps. Two traps are included, so I set one up next to a trash can that was getting frequent rat activity and another in my shed. Both traps are set up directly parallel against a wall. The trap by the trash can has been set off multiple time with nothing inside and no signs that whatever set it off was even injured. I have yet to actually catch anything in that one. The trap in the shed has caught 4 rats in the span of about a week. All clean catches with the rat squarely centered in the jaws. Not sure what is causing the disparity here. Both traps are set against walls, both using peanut butter as bait. I like the design of the traps. The tunnels on each end force a head on entry and pretty much guarantee a clean catch. The traps are fully plastic, so time in the heat and cold will likely break down the plastic faster than wood and metal traps. I still expect to get at least a couple years of use put of them. Emptying the trap is super easy and clean: just release the jaws (can be done one-handed), dump the contents and reset. I do wear plastic gloves just for sanitary reasons, but it is definitely better than dealing with the OG traps where you have to directly touch surfaces that have come in contact with the animal. The price is fair and unless you have very large critters, these traps should work fine.

I’ve caught 13 chipmunks in less than two weeks. It was a bit of an infestation in my yard, and they were eating anything and everything I planted. In addition to this I’ve had small sinkholes because of their burrows, including under the sidewalk leading up to my porch. To make it more effective, I’ve placed two bricks on either side of the hole going into the burrow so they can’t dig around the trap. I’m shocked by its effectiveness

The Tratper traps work really well. They’re easy to set up and you can visually see if the trap has sprung. Once a rodent is caught, it’s easy and mess free to release the trap and the dead animal falls out. Just replace the bait and reset the trap. I prefer these traps over others because it kills the rodent instantly so it’s not lying there suffering like glue traps. I use peanut butter in the small bait bin, which is easily accessed from underneath the trap. I had mice chewing through and borrowing into the cushions on my outdoor patio furniture. I placed one of these traps on each piece of furniture and within a few days they caught the mice. Since it’s a self contained device, it’s easy and safe to pick it up and move it off the furniture when I want to use it and then place it back on the cushion when I’m done. I use these traps year round, placing them under the patio furniture covers in Winter, and they really do work. I bought two sets of them so far and plan to buy more.

This is basically a "t-rex" style trap with tunnels on either side. "T-rex" referring to the shape of the jaws, with exactly the same trigger mechanism and bait cup. They're loads better than the old snap traps. So it works--when it can attract a mouse. But there's the problem -- mice aren't attracted. I purchased these, along with some "regular" open "t-rex" style traps. I expected the tunnel design would both protect the bait better during wind/rain, and be attractive to mice when it's cold/rainy outside ("food? in a cave? where I don't have to get wet? count me in!" I imagined the mice saying to themselves). Unfortunately, these just don't attract mice when outdoors. I'm sure they're fine if you place the tunnel opening in front of a known mouse entry/exit hole where they have no choice but to pass through, but not otherwise. I've had four of these baited for almost 2 weeks now (re-baiting regularly). On the first night, I caught 1 mouse. I thought my investment was paying off. But none since. Meanwhile, I've also had 3 of the standard "t-rex" open traps baited. I've caught 10 mice with those in the same period. I even tried swapping the position of the TRATPER tunnel trap with one of the open traps that had been catching the majority of the mice. The result? The mice went to where the tunnel USED TO BE, and were caught by the open trap. The tunnel trap just sat there undisturbed - - again, it was in the same location that had been catching the most mice with the open trap. I don't have enough cameras to say definitively that mice aren't attracted, but I did video one night where a mouse went right past the tunnel, and found one of the standard traps (and was caught by it). All-in-all, very disappointed in the ability to attract and catch mice outdoors. If that's your situation, I'd stay away. If that's not your situation, they might work a lot better -- because this kind of trigger mechanism DOES work, and the bait cup both makes it easier to bait/rebait, and makes it harder for mice/rats to steal the bait without triggering the mechanism. The tunnel might even work better in some circumstances. No issues with the quality of these that I can see (vs the standard "t-rex" style, which are awesome), and they seem like they'd hold up well over repeat uses for a prolonged time. Just the tunnels seem to make them invisible to most mice.

We kept hearing scratching in our shower walls. Didn't notice mice or rat droppings, but could hear them scurrying around in the walls. Wasn't sure how to get in there n get them, and didn't want to put poison out that our animals could get into. Found a hole in our wall and food they had been eating. Decided on these traps. BEST DECISION EVER! We put these where the food had been at and by the hole and instantly caught rats...big ones YUK! We now have 4 of these traps and have caught almost 20!!! They are thinning out because we are now catching little ones. And the scratching in the walls have stopped. We use peanut butter and has not failed us yet. We paid over 10 bucks each, but worth every penny! Super easy to add bait, set and release dead rodent. Whoever designed these are a genius!

Excellent design and should work well.

Estoy satisfecha con la compra, si son muy efectivas para atrapar a las ratas, el diseño ayuda a que no tenga uno contacto con la rata al retirarla. Solo es necesario poner crema de cacahuate en el deposito.

Ils se sont avérés efficaces pour piéger un rat qui venait d'élire domicile sous la remise du jardin, et ce, même par grand froid cet hiver. Quand il fait -20 plusieurs jours et que le piège est recouvert de neige, j'avoue avoir eu des doutes, mais il a fait le boulot.

EXCELENTE. Se han estado subiendo al motor de el auto. Puse la trampa allí y es segundo día cayó una. Crema de cacahuate y un poco de queso p olor Excelente producto.

We had a rat and the next day it was trapped! Did what we had to do!
