eXuby Large Powerful Rat Traps - Kills Instantly with Powerful Steel Spring - Setup in Seconds - Wash & Reuse Over & Over - Hands Free Disposal - Rat Control Without Harmful Poisons (4)

These rat traps are excellent! They’re very easy to set up and use, with no complicated parts to figure out. I really appreciate that they’re reusable, which makes them much more cost-effective than single-use traps. Best of all, they’re designed so there’s very limited contact with the pest, which makes disposal quick, clean, and hassle-free. A simple, effective, and reliable solution—I definitely recommend them!

Super easy to use and set up. Sturdy material and strong enough not to be easily broken. Being able to remove the bait part from under the trap is ingenious. They definitely take care of the job. Very effective and not very loud when the trap is triggered.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these traps because they looked like they were easy to use and also easy to clean.Traps simply did not catch rodent. Traps would either not spring at all or would spring and not catch anything. I found numerous times that bait would be gone and trap did not spring. Found numerous times that the trap would be sprung but did not catch anything. I used peanut butter as bait and placed bait in bait cup so it was not a case of bait coming off easily. Found plenty of evidence of rodent droppings around showing rodents had been near traps. It is true that these traps were more safe to use, easy to use and easy to clean, however, they did not serve the purpose of catching rodents.

works on squrells but they get wise to them

Roof rats infested my kitchen. I bought 12 of these. The jaws looked powerful. Advertised to work with rats which are a little bigger than mice. Advertised as powerful kills. After a couple of weeks, only 2 rats killed. THREE OTHERS SURVIVED! They were screeching --in two cases, their heads were caught somehow but it wasn't fatal; the third one was caught in the tail. The failed kills taught the other rats to avoid the traps located nearby. Also, even though these traps are advertised as reusable, the ones that caught rats didn't work afterwards--the bait was eaten and when I tried to set it off, it didn't.

I was not hopeful...but I was wrong! Our small shed/chicken coop and 40'x40' run had become over run with rats. And why not...they are being fed and keep warm. A few years ago, we had rat snakes that would come in the summer and take care of any problem. For some reason, they are no longer coming so the rats are out of control. Rat poison was not an option.So we tried these traps and within 18 hours and 4 traps set....3 rats were caught dead. --- I was worried about they would be caught, but not dead. Nope, they are dead!! And b/c there is no poison I can put the dead rats on the edge of the woods for the vultures and scavengers.I put the traps in empty dog crates to keep the ducks and chickens safe. Also I read where rats would move the traps, so the dog crate is perfect. I forgot to take a photo, sorry. All 4 rats were dead, even one who got it more on the bridge of the face.Tip: remove all animal feed or bird seed so the rats are hungry. We are fortunate in that we can open our gate to the front yard and let the chickens eat out there.CAUTION!!! Be very mindful when you are re-baiting the traps. One was empty of bait so I thought 'oh, I will just take a little from the other trap'....THANK GOD I thought about what I was about to do....which was reach my finger in an already set trap to remove bait!!!!! I know DUH, Right! Now, you can do that from the bottom easily. JUST be mindful of what you are doing!! I do think this trap could break a finger.With that said....this is a very easy trap to fill and set. Then remove the dead rat, clean and reset. I am very excited to think we might have a solution to our rat problem. It's definitely, a better Rat Trap!!!!!UPDATE: 48 hours and 10 rats caught. 9 dead but 1 rat was not dead in the trap. This is not for the faint of heart. My husband could not deal with this. I deal with all death on our tiny farm. I do not let animals suffer a slow death. So I would not let him suffer in the trap until he finally died and there was no letting him go to suffer his wounds.

They are strong but can’t honestly say how it works. It seems as soon as I set them up the rodent problem just disappeared. But they are of great size. Seem very effective. And easy to use.

Zero ability to catch and hold any rat of any size. The mechanism works good but there is zero holding power in the spring and the plastic jaws are not sharp and the rodent can easily wiggle its way out. This size trap is too big for a mouse and not powerful enough for a rat. While setting the trap, I accidentally tripped it and my fingers were in the trap and it was slightly uncomfortable not the potentially finger breaking strength of other conventional traps.
