Kat Sense Covered Rat Trap & Chipmunk Trap, Prevents Accidental Triggering with Tunnel Design, Quick Action Pest Control Device, Indoor Outdoor Mouse Trap, Reusable Snap Style Rodent Control

Thank you for this AMAZING trap. This is the absolute best trap I have ever used at an affordable price. Well worth the money & investment. This is the easiest, minimal contact trap I have ever used. Simple. Turn the traps over, unscrew the bait cup, add the peanut butter to the cup, screw the bait cup back on the bottom of the trap, turn the trap back over & press down to set the trap. DONE!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! To empty, just press down & discard mice. Which, I do have to wear rubber gloves when touching the traps. The first time I used these traps, I set them under my house the night before, the only area that I have mice, I checked them the next morning & I actually had 2 mice.....yes 2 mice in 1 trap!!! A mouse in each side, in each tunnel, facing each other with their tails out the end. Looks like 1 mouse went in one tunnel & another mouse went in the other tunnel at the same time. The trap caught them both. Now, not even 24 hours later, the traps have caught 3 mice. The second trap was still set, but the bait cup was empty, so I am hoping that it was just a fluke and that the second trap works as well as the first one. I am absolutely terrified of mice & have been since I was a little girl, but now I am on daily chemo & do not want them in or around my home at all. Mice carry too many germs & diseases & I can't take a chance of being exposed to their germs & diseases!!! Even before the cancer, I refused to allow a mouse IN my home, if they got in, I stopped them immediately. Now, I don't even want them around or under my house either. This is an excellent product & is so easy to use & I HIGHLY recommend these traps. Very wise investment & you are keeping yourself & your family safe from being exposed to the germs & diseases that mice carry.

This product is very easy to use and was effective in trapping rodent that got into my birdseed. The removal was really easy and you don’t even need to look at the animal if you don’t want to. Obviously, a dead rodent is smelly but the trap itself has no odor except the small amount of peanut butter. Unfortunately I didn’t secure one well enough and raccoon stole it. I love that they are durable and reusable. I think the value for money was great.

Upon receiving my two traps mid-day I loaded them with peanut butter and put them out. By bedtime I had caught three chipmunks and a mouse. The traps were super easy to load with food, set and place. Upon the dispatch of the critters, they were equally simple to release the spring without ever having to touch the animals. We have many large gray squirrels that do not seem to be able to enter the traps. I have yet to have to wash the units as there is no blood involved and it appears the subsequent animals are not deflected by any odor of a deceased animal. They are heavy enough that they don't flip or move from where they are placed. I highly recommend the units which are also less expensive than others on the market.

Decide to write this review after setting here and having the trap. Go off three times in a row with just a few minutes in-between. I will have to say they work great. They are loud when they go off I will say that. The kill most of the time is instant sometimes it may take a second or two. But have not had any take a long time like some reusable traps I have used. Set up was easy as is empting you can just dump reset and back at it. Build seems good and like they will hold up for sometime. All in all very happy with them and thinking of buying another set of them.

I cant give it a higher rating and wish I could. I've tried other kill traps that either missed the target rat or got a kill and then fell apart. I have tried the pellets...save your money. The pellets have been scattered all over and still got rats. I have a small dog and I had fear of her being snapped by the other traps. I tried 2 different types and failure was the problem even after one worked, it broke apart on the reloading. This tunnel trap truly is very safe for pets and absolutely works great....repeatedly. THIS IS A REAL 5 STAR RATING BY A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

I’d give this trap a 3 out of 5 stars. It does work, but there are a few things to keep in mind before buying. The covered design is a nice feature since it makes it safer to use around pets and keeps things more discreet compared to traditional traps. It’s also relatively easy to set up. However, the effectiveness can be hit or miss depending on placement and bait. Sometimes it takes multiple tries to actually catch anything, and the mechanism isn’t always as sensitive as expected. Cleaning and resetting can also be a bit inconvenient. Overall, it’s a decent option if you want a more enclosed trap, but it may require some patience and trial-and-error to get consistent results.

The traps, unfortunately are kill traps (vs the catch/release I use for house mice) but they seem to work as "humanely" as a killing trap can. I've seen no dragging or other evidence of anything but an instant kill. The latch is pretty brutally strong which is a plus. The one downside is I bought 2 more since our garbage collection is only 2x per week and I prefer to set traps only the day before a collection. Figured 4 gives me better odds than 2. Unfortunately after starting to use the 2 I bought last summer, the plastic click-latched broke on second setting. The mechanisms of both the older ones were pretty rusty looking but they seemed to work fine. I subtracted 1 star for the breaking in less than a year - that said, between the first 2 traps, at least 20-30 of the "foundation sabotagers" were killed. The only other advice (not a minus) is that you should check the Peanut Butter used in the traps every couple days, especially after a day with no catches. Bugs like ants will eventually remove or reduce it enough to lower the bait-use for ground squirells.

Recently I noticed my neighbors ripping up their lower wood deck, shortly after that these unwanted guests arrived. This 2nd story deck is off of my kitchen, used often as a general sitting, grilling area and is constantly visited by my children and dogs. I was HORRIFIED when rats suddenly started coming on my deck as we are clean people, no food, or garbage out there. We live in a nice area, have a nice home, I thought this only happened in dirty homes, farms and in the big city's. Apparently I was wrong. This was a 1st for me. I freaked out, read everything online, started cleaning my deck with bleach and pine scented cleaners, removed bird feeders, just hoping and praying they would just go away. Sadly they did not leave, I would hear them moving around out there and see poop around the deck. I was scared to use poison due to my small dogs, even with safe traps, I was scared the rat would die and my dogs would get it. Yet the thought of removing a dead bloody rat from a trap grossed me out and there was no way I was going to catch them and release them. I needed something easy, like a hotel they checked in and never left. (Sadly there is no such thing) Per my father, get the cheap traps, they work, so I tried the old fashioned traps. I am not sure why, but I had so much anxiety setting them, fearing it would snap my fingers. Night after night, empty, the nasty things were too smart for those. Desperate for a solution, and trying to avoid having to call an exterminator due to my tight after Christmas budget, I found these on amazon, read the reviews, mostly good but someone said they the kill was messy, which turned me off of them. After a few more tries with the old fashion traps and even trying the baking soda natural kill method, I was desperate and ordered them. Let me just say these are SO SO SO easy to use. I put peanut butter in the feeder, pulled the lever and put them out at night. The next morning I was shocked when I saw tails coming out of the traps. I will admit I freaked out, hesitated, having to face my kill, expecting it to see blood and guts everywhere. THANKFULLY, it was easy, no mess, no blood, no having to see him. With one hand holding a garbage bag, the other hand released the trap, and he was easily in the trash. I put the traps out again the next night, and again, in the morning I saw tails again. It was quiet for a few days or again I was in denial till one walked casually across my deck looking at me. Feeling more comfortable with the traps and determined to take them down, I decided to get creative, I lightly spread some peanut butter at the entrance of the traps and sprinkled cinnamon over it, to get the smell out there. The next morning I saw another tail. I have 5 down so far and can not thank these traps enough for making this horrible situation easier for me. Surely this has to be all of them, however I am going to continue to put them out for the next month, even ordering 2 more to put on the lower level yard in hopes of getting them before they get to my house. My method with kids and pets is, put these out at night, remove in the morning, clean & disinfect deck daily and repeat. Despite what the internet says, the smell of bleach and pine do not seem to keep them away, but good for disinfecting. I use creamy peanut butter and sprinkle cinnamon on top of it. They apparently love the smell of cinnamon and based on my results it appears to be true. Other Pro's - The price is good, fast shipping
