Would not really say "much better" those rats were all over the thing and only putting its entire weight on it seemed to finally trigger it.

I dunno about that trap. It took a rat to sit with its full weight on the already modified trigger pad for it to snap down. I’d give that trap a little flip.

It’s more like a rat feeder than a trap.

I've used the same trap with varying degrees of success, I found the most effective was to play with the trigger to set it to "hair trigger" like the video shows but i turned mine towards the wall instead of away from it. They have a natural tendency to track along walls. So if the bait doesn't entice them well enough, just walking across the trigger worked just fine.

Rat couldn't resist that 7 grams of protein per serving

Hey Shawn, in years of my trapping experience, I have figured out a way so rodents don't steal your bait. I simply it a piece of scotch tape over the bait cup. This way, if the rat/mouse is even the most careful it can be, it still gets caught because of the scotch tape that the rodent is pushing down or working at chewing to get to the bait. The rodent will push down or find out that there is tape on the cup. This will make them work extra hard and eventually get caught.

Those rats were bold as hell. Trap didn't work like it was supposed to. They were climbing over it like an amusement park.

I’ve actually used this trap before, the other traps never caught the mice in my garage but this one damn near cut them in half.

*Large rat* SNIFF SNIFF "MMMM I smell peanut butter!"
*Steps a bit closer* SNIFF SNIFF "I smell SHAWN! I'M OUTTA here!"

I have used these traps with success.
A couple tips:
Dab a little white grease on the trigger mechanism to free it up a bit.
I drilled two holes on either side of the bait cup and ran a wire over and out the bottom as a "grille" to decrease the likelihood of stolen bait.
Be sure to attach the trap to something as I have found the trap 50 feet from it's original spot after it was dragged away with a hind leg in it.

[dragonskunkstudio]

They were doing a pile-on on that trigger pad.
Not that good of a design.

[kalet]

"the trap has a little play".... Two rats procede to step on it and didn't go off 😂

[ninjatastisch]

You could literally see the blood of the Rat on the weight pad.

Soon you'll have to blurr the stuffed rat getting trapped

The model before this one is a lot more sensitive I had one and killed 38 rats with it before it broke.

Had a rat infestation in my house a couple of years ago...these worked very well for me.
