I would love to give this trap a 5* rating because setting it is soooo much safer than the Victor brand traditional traps. The design looks and feels like "a better rat trap" but has the one drawback that I get a lot more sprung traps without any victim than I do with the Victor traps. By the way I have no affiliation with Victor at all. I just like to kill rats. Talking of Victor, they make two types (that I know of) - a traditional one with a small metal bait holder, which scares the Sh*t out of me when I set them, but is as good as it gets w.r.t. dead vermin. They newer and safer ones have a large yellow paddle which is easier to set (nothing like as easy as the Big Snap-E trap though) and are still effective. The older type still has the 'hairier' trigger though... Bait - I've used dried apricots, peanut butter and gummiworms all to good effect I'm told fruit gums work well, but my local store only had worms. Didn't make much difference to the momentarily happy rat I caught last week. ;-) Cheese is quite poor. I also had one of the Big-E traps break - in the 'trip' mechanism. I have to confess I didn't bother to find out how their customer service is - it's a $5 trap after all - but it's a shame it broke. 'Hope you kill lots of rats. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. best rat trap By William C. Milo I have a lot of fruit trees. As a result I attract a lot of possums and rats. I have over 50 rap traps of different designs around my property and in my garage and attic. This trap is the best because, 1. made of a good plastic and the bugs and fungus don't eat it up like the wood ones do when used outdoors 2. easy to set and remove the rat 3. It catches rats 4. it is well made and is reliable not like a Victor of the same design 5. There is another design that snaps like an alligator but doesn't work to well and breaks easy I catch as many as 35 to 40 rats in a typical year. I tie a brick onto the trap so bigger animals and possums don't get into them and walk off with my trap. This happened a few times before I started using bricks. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. can even trap inverted By L. Scott Collins I researched and purchased these traps after seeing them used by an expensive animal control company to deal with a flying squirrel problem in the eaves of a cabin. I live a mere mile from the national park boundary of the Great Smoky Mountain nat.park in a log cabin. We get animal visitors and invasions ranging from squirrels & raccoons to grown black bears and coyotes coming right up on the back deck. The particular challenge was removing a large colony of southern flying squirrels which previously unknown to me are incredibly fast and agile as well as the amazing ability to run up walls and upside down across ceilings with no regard to gravity These animals had nested deep in the roof structure and were keeping my family up at night with noisy squeaking and loud nocturnal scampering that was especially loud in back bedrooms only feet above beds. Upon locating the entry and exit holes that were soffet/eave vents on the underside of a roof, the problem arose of how to get a conventional trap close enough to attract and do the job without other animals getting caught by mistake. Enter the Snap-E rat trap. These small squirrels are not much bigger then a large rat. I was pleased to see that the manufacturer designed mounting holes so that these traps can be mounted upside down in areas that only this species of squirrel could reach. The bait tray is a closed well to keep the bait regardless of the trigger mechanism to protect the sides of the bait to prevent nibbling or snatch steal baitThe trigger mechanism is well designed to cover the dead zone so that the animal can not use the trap itself as a.
