    Powerful Trap

    By Reggie on 09/18/2013

    Verified Purchase

    These are powerful traps! Put them out the first night using berries as recommended by our pest guy...Well, not a good move. They snatched them right out of the trap. You need to use something sticky like p-nut butter with some bacon so they have to work to remove it then setting off the trap.

    1,2,3 strikes

    By Anonymous on 08/03/2013

    When they work, they are great. Had a problem with the critters getting the goods and getting away. Manually set the traps off a few times to break them in, plus shoved the bait down into the cup so they would have to crawl in to get to it. Successful with most of the traps.

    Real good

    By Chester on 01/19/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Traps work great but need to be secured to something heavy.  The big guys, if they are not killed, will drag them away.

    Good Trap

    By Anonymous on 07/19/2013

    I've had good luck with these. One failed after a year and several catches. Tried an Ortho trap from the hardware store but it broke within a week. Now I'm keeping T-Rex spares on hand. Quick service from DMOPC.

    The best rat traps available today... But...

    By Rat on 08/26/2011

    Where I live, pack rats are a huge and constant problem. You have to deal with them, or they will overrun your home. I have tried the old style traps, the electronic type, but the T-Rex traps are the best. Easy to set, easy to release the victim. BUT... I wish critical parts were made of metal. The plastic just plain wears out after a certain amount of time/uses. That is why I buy a dozen at a time. Other than that, an excellent trap.

    Trapper T rex

    By Dr on 11/17/2010

    Verified Purchase

    I haven't caught anything nor has my bait been stolen. I was using wooden traps and bait stolen every night. I can't be sure I have rats or that was what was taking the bait on the wood traps. I have these type traps (Smaller scale) for mice as well and have found them excellent. I feel this is a very good product if you need to capture or kill rats or large pests. BTW: The ease of being able to remove the bait compartment means you can leave the dirty trap outside and just bring those compartments inside to rebait. Excellent idea!

    price 40% higher than my last 2 orders

    By Long on 12/24/2014

    Verified Purchase

    As of dec 24 the 12 pack was $79 on domyownpestcontrol and the past 2 orders in the past 2 years i got for $55, forced to buy elsewhere due to 12 pack pricing being out of line compared to other online pest control retailers. Great Traps, i rated this the same rating as the average rating so not to influence the rating of the item but just to get my voice out there. $55 x 1.42 is $78. The other seller i purchased it from had free shipping as well. so?

    Trapping the Critters

    By Walter on 12/01/2012

    Here in Florida we have an abundance of "Roof Rats or Palm Rats". They are small, and nocturnal. In the winter they move into my attic. I set out a line of Trapper T-Rex traps and got three the first night and two more the second night. The traps are simple to set and easy to empty. I am very happy with your product, the rats are not.

    Humane, lethal chipmunk dispatcher

    By Dirtdigginmama on 06/14/2018

    At my wits end with chipmunks ruining my garden and flower beds, but didn't want to poison or drown them (so nasty.) So I decide to try this RAT trap. Figured it was big and tough enough to do the job. It's the best! Easy to bait, dump the carcass, clean and reset. No problems. Seem to be catching them early in the morning. Just pay attention to where they run, and set it in their pathway. Squeeze til it stops to fully set it. Worth every $$!!

    I purchased this trap and used peanut butter as an enticement and caught the rat I was after. It worked great and I'm really happy how easy it was to use.

    Rat Trap

    By Henrietta on 03/15/2013

    I purchased this for a friend as they have used this before with great success. It's easy to use (but be careful not to snap it on your fingers) and immediately breaks the neck of the rodent.

    Small for Pack Rats

    By Robert on 07/25/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I have had reasonable success in trapping wood (pack) rats, but they are bigger than house (Norway) rats and have had some trouble with them escaping the trap. I have not found any trap that works better, however.

    Simple&Safer

    By Jjames on 03/08/2017

    Product is easy to set and has a small tray that can be removed from the bottom to fill with bait. Sometimes trap is hard to set.

    Little bait cup broke

    By Karen on 02/19/2023

    The little bait cup broke trying to remove it. I just set it back and caught a mouse. I'm trying to catch the rats!

    Great Rat Trap

    By Steve on 02/05/2021

    Works great. I have trapped 7 rats so far. Two were caught by the legs but could not get away. Some seem to reach for the bait. If the trap was slightly larger so their head would have to be within the jaw area when tripped it would probably kill 100% of the time. I will still buy more thought. They work very well and crazy easy to set.

    Caught one

    By Dawn on 08/15/2020

    Caught 1 rat so far. It was still alive in the trap and dropped 2 traps to my chain link fence. He was on 1 side and one trap wouldn't fit under my fence. By morning my traps were empty and the rat was gone. Hope he was either dinner for a coyote or crawled away to die. So far no other rats seen, holes found, or anything caught. So I'm happy the rat is gone.

    Does the job well

    By D.p. on 11/01/2019

    Used with peanut butter & bird seed to trap chipmunks that were digging holes along my foundation & chewing away an air conditioner condenser pad. Trapped about 8 or 9 however did trap one alive by it's feet (released alive) & caught 2 birds (both released alive), one of which lost it's lower leg. Be careful if you use bird seed & where you place the trap since this increases the likelihood to trap birds. Finally, either a small chipmunk or mouse is eating the seed & peanut butter but not setting off the trap. Does the job well with some unintended consequences.

    Happy customer

    By Jessica on 09/01/2018

    Verified Purchase

    I set it up and placed a small amount of peanut butter in the bait circle well. Do not overload the bait circle. It the bait is too big they can eat some and move on. Make them work at it and the trap is in the right position. I caught a large rat on day three that moved into my laundry room. It easy to reset and not worry about getting fingers in the way.

    Highley efective but some tedious elements

    By Russell on 07/13/2016

    The trap is effective. It does not have enough force to break the bones of a cat. However a cat will not be able to remove its paw from the trap. Also the trap is usually not immediately fatal to the rodents, this results in the traps being dragged some distance from there initial locations. Recommend tying the trap to something, to prevent them from being lost.
