Roshield Rat Trap Killer Box - Easy to Set Safety Box for Home, Shed & Garage Control & Treatment (Professional Quality, Pack of 1)

Not the sort of thing you want to shout about, but I will say I really like these. I found out that we have rats visiting the garden, I tried poison (well the rats did, not me) but to me, it seems to be spend spend no results, with these outdoor rat traps, you see the results. They are quiet in operation, very easy to use. You can't use a rat trap outdoors as it rains, and they go rusty and seize, but these are good value as not only does the trap not rust, you can use them again and again, I find the traps to be very effective, I put peanut butter in the trap, killed several so far.

Good trap that catches junior rats but to get the big boys your need the big cheese rat cage. As for this won Good but can't see it's big enough. But still good easy to set and no releasing problems and they don't even get to finish of the bait so there mates get it to with a quick reload. Also fat balls does the trick every time. Maybe Mr big rat if he could get in the trap may do a runner with the trap connected round his head. Excellent for anyone who wants to test if they have a rat problem that's not to hard to set up just use the red key on the side to open it and wedge the bate in the round hole before you set trap and I found round the bin area to be a good testing location.

This device has been excellent so far. In the past I used the simple and cheap wooden rat traps. The one’s that almost take your fingers off every time you try to set them. Whilst they were effective I didn’t like the thought that I might lose a digit in the process. Also I had to put on disposable gloves when removing the dead rat as I nearly always had to come into contact with them when removing them from the trap. Also the overly-sensitive traps often went off without a rat being anywhere near.This device is similar to the wooden ones in that it has an arm that gets pulled back into position and then activates when anything touches a small platform containing the food. However the really excellent thing about this design is that the whole process occurs inside a box and that the trap can be set with the box closed by pulling a plastic strip until you hear the device click into the set position. Your fingers are therefore nowhere near the actual trap and there is no chance whatsoever of getting your fingers damaged.The other great thing about this trap is that when you come to dispose of the captured rat you can lower the whole box into a bag and then pull the plastic strip which opens the trap and lets the late rat drop into the bag without your hands being anywhere near it.As for actually catching rats the story has been nearly all positive. We had a large rat coming into our garden to pick up the scraps of food that the birds had dropped from our bird feeder. A few days on and my wife spotted a smaller rat also coming in to feed. I therefore got this trap to nip things in the bud before an infestation occurred. I used peanut butter and oats as bait and in the first 24 hours I caught 2 small rats and in the next 24 I caught another small rat. That makes 3 rats in 2 days which is excellent going. My only doubt about the device is that we have not yet determined whether it can catch larger rats as the bigger rat hasn’t been seen for a few days now. It may simply be it has been scared off by the sight of 3 smaller rats being caught but I would have liked to have seen if the device can cope with a much bigger rat.Overall I thoroughly recommend this device for all the reasons above. Given it’s effectiveness and safety it is well worth paying a bit more than the cheaper but less effective and more dangerous traps.

Fabulous product, easy to use with 💯 success 👍🏻

I have quite a large rat about the same size of a squirrel (20cm) running around the back garden of my housing block. So i was looking for a humane trap that would target the rat but not the hedgehogs & squirrels.Im aware grey squirrels are considered vermin but they don't bother me as much as a rat. I also have a cat that has brought both mice & rats home. So i didn't want to use poison as that risks my cat also being poisoned should it try eating it & poisons will appeal to other none target mammals, nor did i want to use exposed traps that could trap my cats paw or face. So i thought an enclosed trap is the best solution.The rat avoided it but i have found that the opening is large enough to allow a squirrel in & seen it had triggered the device. It was a close call as the squirrel didn't go fully in but must have just stood on the edge of the flap. That shows it could have been seriously mamed which is cruel as i dont want to cause suffering.

While the product is fairly good overall it appears the rat is not interested in going inside it. It has been baited with peanut butter, using rubber gloves so no human scent, and left in a path that the rat takes. Have a camera watching it and the rat will not go inside it. Have tried leaving a rich banquet and an ALL YOU CAN EAT sign but no, it is ignored.Going to try something a bit more open instead of a trap inside a box!

does the job well and works with big rats as well and very easy to see if its triggered by the long red zip-tie
