Note: If your not experienced with traps I recommend you buy our simpler snap traps instead Finally, you can eliminate giant rats and rodents without using poison or hiring an exterminator! We’ve been in the pest control industry for a long time. We started to notice a frustrating trend. Most pest traps were only effective at catching very small animals like mice and young rats. The wooden mouse traps, glue pads, and electric mouse traps were worthless for big rats and rodents. Even though our smaller rat traps can kill bigger pests, we wanted to up the ante and create the biggest, strongest rat trap on the market. One that not only eliminated huge rats, but squirrels, bats, voles, chipmunks, and other annoyances too. If you’re familiar with Kat Sense products, you know that we always go the extra mile. We’re innovators. This Subway Series Mega Trap is the result of months of R&D and testing. We wanted to be 100% confident that it worked unlike any other trap out there and killed these pesky critters fast and as humanely as possible. We gave these XXL snap traps to a group of ten pest control experts. We asked them to provide us with their honest feedback. What they said blew us away. They could not believe how effective they were at killing large pests. Each one of them wanted to stock their trucks with our Mega Rats Traps. That’s when we knew that we changed the game. Homeowners and business owners would never go back to cheap, wooden traps, poison, glue traps, or electrics zappers again! Try one for 30 days and see for yourself. We guarantee results, or you don’t owe us a dime! Click the “Add to Cart” button above to put an end to your infestation problem once and for all.

Great trap, not strong enough to eliminate squirrels humanely
I didn't know I had so many rats around until I started catching a new one every other night with these traps.TO BAIT: I use a soda bottle cap filled with peanuts and Bit 'O Honey under the trigger. A dab of peanut butter on top always helps. This bottle cap keeps the candy from melting into a puddle in the heat. Once a rat or squirrel tries to run off with that delicious pot 'o goodness, it is bad news for them.STAKE IT DOWN: I put a keyring through the hole in the rear and stake the trap down with a 12inch galvanized nail. If you don't stake it down, your trap may get dragged far away to a place you'll never find it.If a trap won't stay set, bend the latch bar on the end of the strike bar back/down with some pliers. The welds are strong, but don't overdo it or you may break the trap... 1/16inch at a time...I bought this to reduce the squirrel population, however, it it not strong enough to end them immediately. Sometimes they just get "headlocked" and struggle for hours. The addition by consumers of some screws pointing up from the base would achieve that (be careful).Great, sturdy, powerful trap. Weatherproof. Very easy to set and the upward pulling trigger makes it far safer for clumsy fingers and toes than typical rat traps.

POOR trigger design
As fall is setting in I noticed more rodant activity on my property. I bought 3 different types of traps. I have old school normal wood based traps, some advanced plastic type of the old school traps, some of the jaw closing type I've been seeing lately, and these huge ones. I have some big rats and raccoons that I was hoping that these extrs large ones would help with.On every single rat trap I have ever used, the trigger platform releases the spring assisted bar when depressed. This is the only design I have seen where the trigger platform needs to be lifted up to activate. So there is a large size food dish below the bar to where the rodant squeezes his head or hand underneath the bar to raise it up slightly which activates it.Incredibly stupid design.The rats just poke their head in eat around the bar and leave the food dish empty. There is no reason that they would have to lift up on the bar to eat around it so the trap never gets activated. Every type of trap on my property has caught rats and mice in the last couple weeks aside from these large ones that I was really looking forward to because they are so large and powerful. Very disappointing.

Awesome Trap
There are rat traps then there's this, the mother of all rat traps! Ordered a 2-package and both were just fine operationally, as advertised. I baited with just a small piece of smoked pork jowell (they just CAN'T resist it ... and before baiting I smeared the pork all around the base to make it extra tempting. The absolute KEY to effectiveness is tying the bait to the underside of the hook with thread... the rat's gotta pull the bait up to trigger the trap. The first night...SNAP-BLAMO... the sucker was darn near cut in half by the trap's extremely powerful spring. I reset the trap (same bait) and 2nd night ... SNAP-BLAMO... got that rat's partner! You MUST be extremely careful not to have your fingers/hand anywhere near the strike bar area... this will break or crush bones. When you set it, just forget it... if you suspect it's a rat then it's already dead, it just doesn't know it yet!

XXL Rat Trap - strong, but they require too much pressure to activate, they don't work
I am in a high alpine area with critters all over the place. I've had the Kat Sense XXL Rat Traps set with bait (which you need to secure on the trap because the activation device requires way too much pressure to engage). I was impressed with the build quality, but the actual activation mechanism requires WAY too much pressure. If bait is not secured in heavy duty screen, the critters will just eat all the bait & bounce. The trap never sprang... I have had them out for days and not a single catch. I got these to catch the large mountain rats around my place, Sadly, they caught nothing. I am returning them. These need a complete overhaul because the sensor won't work effectively. Anything large enough to set the trap off can probably get away.
