Best rat trap on the market, IMO, and I have tried them all. Lots of black rats here in Florida so a constant battle. Very strong spring, sensitive trigger, easy to set, weatherproof, bait plate has long spear and holes for option wire tie. Also has holes in the frame in case you want to screw it down. Caught two the last two days.

Great traps, rarely miss. I was using the old fasioned Victor wooden traps and getting thrown traps, no rats night after night. These rarely miss- the metal teeth hold the rat and prevent escape and the spring is much stronger than teh Victor. These work very well.

These work as advertised. Very strong springs so you need to be careful with when setting. I have had great success setting them with a small slice of salami jammed behind the barb on the paddle.

I like this trap because it is all metal. No wood to deteriorate. It is strong and a bit hard to set. Beware with your fingers please. I have not caught anything in it because the varmints do not like the gourmet food I have tried to feel them in the trap. I am still trying to learn their tastes.

Traps work great caught a rat in our garage the first night I set it out using peanut butter as bait!

Nice and strong very well made thick metal. The serrated edges are very dangerous if you get your finger caught in the Trap would cause some serious damage but it's meant to do a job just watch your fingers. Definitely worth the money. Have caught more rats with these that I've ever caught in with wooden traps.

Our chickens and horses food attracted rats. Tried bucket traps, Havahart, old fashioned wood spring. Rats learn fast. Buggers found their way into our basement. I've killed nine full size rats this fall. One entered sideways and that was not a clean kill. Had to drown it. Now I make sure there is a clear space in front of the trap. Every other time it was a clean kill. I put a loop of braided fishing line on the trigger plate and hide it inside peanut butter. Be careful that your pets or someones hands can't find these on accident, they are strong and have teeth. They are very effective for adult rats. The young can sometimes clean the bait off without triggering the trap. I'm ordering four more for the barn. Hope to solve this problem once and for all this winter. Never had rats before. Don't ever want them again.

I got a rat the first day I received these and set all four up in our backyard, where there are rat activities. It is August and we have the windows open. In the middle of night I was wakened up by a quite a commotion outside: the sound of a rat screeching in desperation, and the sound the trap moving on and hitting the concrete patio repeatedly. I was quite certain I caught a rat. It lasted five minutes and I finally decided to get up to kill the rat to end its misery.Using a flashlight, I saw a rat caught by its neck in the trap. His front legs were not caught, which was why he could still struggle quite a bit. His eyes were wide open and he was breathing rapidly with his belly going up and down. The trap does not have the strength to kill the rat. The rat was just trapped, literally.I cannot care less about a rat. Still, I don't want to make an intelligent mammal suffer unnecessarily. So I found a garden pruner with two-foot-long arms, and cut the rat almost by half. There was blood on the pruner, and I saw blood came out of the rat. It thrashed a little more convulsively. I went back into the house, knowing it would be dead soon, but not wanting to see the final moments.I did not fall asleep for the next hour, and did not sleep well for the rest of the night. In fact, the whole family was awakened by the commotion and my going in and out of the house. They did not sleep well either.So here is my assessment of this trap. It is effective in trapping. It seems it will last a long while. It will not poison the rat and then poison other creatures (owl, cat, etc., we have magnificent looking owls around here), which is very important. Nevertheless, it will trap, but not kill a rat in a timely fashion. The rat, once trapped, will struggle quite a while, and may need your intervention to euthanize.I give it four start instead of five because I had to get up in the middle of night, kill the rat with a pruner, see the blood coming out and all other gory details, and could not sleep well afterwards.But, if you care at all about other creatures out there, buy these instead of poison!Update: 8/17/2016These traps got tripped a couple of times each day in the past few days, but nothing is caught. Out of curiosity, I set up an infrared camera to see what tripped the traps. I suspected raccoons. Nope, it is rats. They trip the trap without being caught, and sometimes they left behind furs pulled off when they wiggle their way free after being caught. They have become very very cautious around the traps. I saw them circling the trap, drawn to the peanut butter there, but eventually leave. They are fast learners. So I'm reducing the rating to three stars. These traps are not powerful enough to kill instantly!!update 8/20/2016I've given up on using these traps. They consistently trip but not catching anything, and the peanut butter will be all gone. So they have effectively become rat feeding stations, and I refuse to further feed the rats! I really wanted these traps to work, but am disappointed.
