Ratkil Ultra Powerful Rat Trap - Large, Heavy Duty Trap That Kills Instantly | Professional Quality Rat Killer & Mouse Trap for Indoors & Outdoors - Best Rat Trap for Effective Rodent Control

Easy to manage, bait, place and monitor. First kill on night one, so I'm impressed! I was going to knock off a star for having two sets of incompatible and slightly ambiguous instructions (one inside, one printed on outside of box), but frankly, you just need to put on some new latex gloves (do not touch the outside of the latex gloves while putting them on), THEN open the cardboard box, bait with peanut butter, as per instructions inside box, place as instructed against a wall. When you have a "customer", put on new latex gloves, collect dead thing using an inside out plastic bag with no holes in it (many bags have safety holes to reduce risk of child suffocation), tie a secure knot to prevent anything nasty getting in or out of the rat's coffin bag, and dispose. Be sure not to crush or perforate the coffin bag with other rubbish. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with such dead things, but I use household trash. Check bait, or carefully replenish, reset and place trap. NEVER TOUCH THE TRAP with bare skin - rats will avoid it like ... the plague (there's a poor taste joke in there somewhere). UPDATE; caught rat #2 this morning. This was a BIG rat - his body did not fit the aperture. The trap fractured his skull but didn't kill him so he was reversing around the garden with a trap on his head. Humane kill. Knocked a star off at the request of the agonised rat.

This arrived 3 days ago, and it's caught 4 rats already. All quick, clean kills - which is important to me! It's safe and easy to bait & set. I read other reviews about not touching the trap before use, but these rats are already in our house so it didn't make a difference. I baited in with peanut butter as recommended and placed it where I know the rats are, I sprinkled flour on & around it too as that's something they've tried stealing from our kitchen. It's quick & effective, and once the trap is triggered its easy to remove the body. We haven't had to clean it yet as there's been no blood but it seems as though that would be an easy enough job too. I'm so glad I found this thing as I hate using poison!!

I deeply regret buying this. It's fartoo small for a rat to get into and the second night it killed s stoat - the very thing we need in the garden to deter rats! It is therefore worse than useless and I strongly advise against using it.

Easy to use does not come with bait

Baited trap and got rat kill second night, easy to empty and cleaned with the water hose

The item looks good and robust but the peanut butter I'm using just isn't attracting the rat. Disappointing as we've tried repositioning the trap where we've seen its route. We've used gloves to avoid touching the trap but, no success to date. I'm more worried about trapping a curious squirrel so it's now been consigned to the garden shed for the time being.

Well, I've had my first kill using this trap. Very easy to bait and set. Used it in an area where rats forage. It took a day or two but there was remnants of bird seed still in the garden for them to feed on. Was a bit hesitant in dealing with the body so left it for a day or two and luckily the visiting fox ate it. I wasn't worried as no poison had been used, just peanut butter. Really pleased with the trap and would strongly recommend.

I never leave reviews but felt I should. Anyone with rat issue this is the way. Excellent 👌, mature Pilgrims choice as bait, within 24 hours rat dealt with. No mess so easy and works!
