Rat Reaper – Humane Rat Traps That Kill Instantly | Ready to Use with Peanut Butter Bait | For Outdoors Garden Garage | Dog & Pet Safe Rat Killer for Large UK Rats | Best Rat Traps for Indoors

Why did you choose this product over others?:We bought a two pack of these traps after the frequent appearance of brown rats in our garden near to the house. They are very easy to set up and use and have caught four rats in the last few days. As we and our neighbours have pets this was a much better solution than using poison.

Lovely quality. Quick and easy to use

Initially my review would have been 10⭐️’s!!But as I have to give 1 star to post any kind of a review, which is ridiculous by the way!!Any negative reviews/from Honest customer product testing, with their total honesty & time spent testing an item fairly for a short amount of time, why is it, that that honest remarks & warning, ideal to those of us who read reviews on everything before we buy anything, is totally put off to see 1-2-3⭐️ reviews have been made but are unavailable to be read!!!So the negative truth never makes it to the review MAT, for us genuine customers, to warn those potential purchasers of a substandard product, these types of useless/faulty products, should have no place receiving any stars!!!but when will Amazon ever take any notice of us customers screaming for this system to change for years now??So as I have to leave a star some godforsaken reason, the 1 star is for the seller = A+B only!!So here goes for My HONESTY:-A. Speedy deliveryB. Well packaged inside & out of packagingC. Build quality of trap (at initial usage)D. Ideal size for my disabled hands to use 2 handed without any injuries!E. It caught 2 mice within the first 2 hours of being placed down outside.E. 2.0. I had mixed half a teaspoon of peanut butter & a just a little less of a very well know hazelnut chocolate spread together in an egg cup, I put it inside the little cup, (home hack) I used a Mc-D’s frappe straw with the spoon end to cleanly load it without any mess, then smeared a very small amount on a piece of cardboard near both ends, of the entry tunnels, only what was left on the back of the straw spoonI, just entice faster, I had cut cardboard to place it on, so I could be sure of it not spreading the attractant mix all over the flooring, would have used a large butter tub lid, but it wouldn’t fit flat on it at all..Then this happened:-F. It caught 7 in total, 3 at mine & 4 in My Mum’s Garage, so it worked initially great.But I Went to set it again recently, just to be sure all was still 🤞🏻clear in my back garden in my outdoor shed, as my hubby was sure he heard familiar sound recently, havent needed it until now & just to be sure…So I again unboxed & loaded the mix, hubby went to engage crocodile mouth jaw, to find that the mechanism was broken, it had clearly snapped the flimsy plastic bit that primes it, on its last catchment of a mouse at Mums, where it was wiped down & boxed up, stored for next time it was required…So here I am with a trap & possible mouse in the shed & we cant use it, it should not be that brittle, it should be sat ready for its next potential victim!!Due to these issues & TOTAL PRODUCT FAILURE, that was Never fit purpose!!Its states recyclable again & again for years to come somewhere I had read at purchase, little did I know it would only last 2.5 weeks maximum!!So this was a major waste of money, I am very disappointed & quite angry, that at that cost & it only works 7 times before disintegration!!Total catastrophic failure of the device after 7 times primed ready to rock!!So clearly not fit for use/purpose, maybe Trading Standards can look at it & test the actual substandard plastic, clearly is not the right kind of plastic to use for it at all, as there is clearly a weakness, totally highlighting a clear design flaw & substandard materials used to make it!!So NO recommendations here from me, now I have to save & then waste more money to buy another one, else where online that is sturdy & reliable, as I walked to bed one night & woke up the early hours & was paralysed from Cauda-Equina Syndrome, so I will need hubby to deal with ot for me

Placed Cheshire cheese in this trap. Placed near a wall in the outbuilding and was careful not to touch with my hands as human scent can deter vermin from entering the trap. Caught two rats and 2 mice in the four nights that I put the trap out. Cleaned with antibacterial spray after each capture and left outside to dry each day. On the fifth night I heard the trap trigger at 10.45pm, a massive rat like scream and squealing and the trap being clattered against the wall. Next morning the trap had been triggered, it had moved from the original position it was set in and there was a pool of blood on the floor.....but no vermin. I can only speculate that this was a very big rat and the trap failed to hold it. Good trap, but ask yourself how big your rats are. If big then you may want to consider a more heavy duty trap.

I don't really know what to say about this trap, good? Bad? You decide -I followed the instructions about baiting it unset. The next day the food was gone so I re-baited it and set it to snap. Very simple to do, easy.Less than 10 minutes later it went off. Very simple, quick and efficient. So that's the good part.Now the bad part. The rat wasn't dead. I could hear thumping coming from the attic and called friends for assistance. They very gamely went up, wrapped the trap in a towel, put it in a plastic storage box and brought it down. The rat was very much alive but stuck. I'm the end I had no choice but to fill the box with water and drown it. This is not the quick humane end for the rat I was hoping for. This was very upsetting and stressful for me and cruel for the rat.The rat had been pinned on the snout. Be aware the trap can pin the rat alive.I don't think I'll be using this trap again, if I need one in the future, as I don't want to go through this experience again. This trap is not 100% effective.

This trap is very easy to set up and use. Putting the bait in was simple, and it does the job well. It catches what it’s meant to.

Caught 2 rats with this,the first one was that big the body was out of the trap 😳 but still managed to catch it. Not seen any since 🤞

Not very strong and doesn't seem big enough for a rat to get into. Probably okay as a mouse catcher.
