Goodnature Smart Trap for Rat & Mouse, Self-Resetting, CO₂ Powered, Toxin-Free, Pet & Kid Safe, Indoor and Outdoor Use, Bluetooth Connected, App Compatible, Ideal for Home, Sheds, Backyards

**update** So all summer I was able to catch about 19 rats using traditional snap traps. I left this one set up and when the cold weather set in, I took my traditional traps down and stopped baiting. I honestly forgot all about this trap being out there as it had been since September that I had set it up without any action. Today, the power went out and I had to walk back behind the shed to see the pole, and noticed a great heap of dead rats laying in the bottom of the tray. I have the habit of disabling Bluetooth because it's used for tracking. Apparently when I do this it doesn't automatically reconnect, so I never got alerted. Twice I had found Rat body parts in my yard including a gut pile left by a cat and a random rat paw I don't know where from . The trap says since November it has killed 5 rats, I found 3 of them in there and they smelled pretty bad too. One was pretty fresh. I think the other two must have been scavenged. Rats are leery of new things but I guess after a while they will come figure it out. I plan to leave it set up and will make sure to manually reconnect to it once a day to check on the trap. Finding rotting rats is pretty disgusting to have to clean up, unlike a normal trap with claws I can release, I had to dump them into a bag and they were in a great state of decay. I wanted to like this product but it just hasn't worked for me. I have roof rats in my yard and they have been going right to the snap traps and completely ignoring the a24. The a24 ships with minimal information and the app is goofy. For example it tells you it hasn't synced, leading you to believe it isn't paired, but it only syncs it snaps the rat. The app let me delete my trap but wouldn't re-add it, and it took 8 days for the a24 "tech team" to fix it, but by that time I'd made the decision to return it. I know rats fear new things but the snap traps are new too and I've got 11 in them in the last 5 nights. If you're fighting norway rats, maybe this trap works better, I'm not sure if it's the bait, or what. I've even packed sunflower seeds and pb into the lure, and into the kill tunnel. If the rats weren't biting, maybe I'd forgive it but I'm getting 1-3 a night with the snap traps. Overall I give this trap 5 stars, trapping rats with normal traps requires a lot of effort and monitoring. This thing took out 5 without me even knowing, raising my kill count to 25 since September.

I assembled the device per the instructions. After assembly a test should be conducted using a supplied piece of paper to fire the plunger. When I did this (as the instructions said to do) the plastic housing broke apart. It is now unusable and unreturnable! This is a very expensive non working mouse trap, the only thing it caught was a bunch of my money. I feel taken advantage of. DO NOT BUY

I've had these traps for nearly two years, the bluetooth "smart trap" version is newer to me. These seem expensive, but are very effective compared to traditional traps or poison. Setup is pretty easy, I got results (dead mice) the same day! The food supply system is pretty innovative, the CO2 cartridge powers not just "bolt of merciful killing" but also vents a bit of air to the cap to squeeze out a bit more food. Lasts 6+ months. I suspect the system works better if you empty the dead mouse each time, but I forgot about one for a few months and found two dead mice when I did get back to it. Mice are dumb. The newest generation of the trap includes bluetooth connectivity. The manufacturer's documentation on how it works is a bit scarce - you can get it up and working fine, but I suspect most people will expect that when you stand next to the trap and hit 'refresh' in the app, they will synch. This does not happen. My guess is that the traps are not normally transmitting bluetooth. Only if they detect a strike do they wake up and start looking for a synch , once it synchs the transmitter turns off to save battery. I believe if you turn the trap upside down, you can also turn on the receiver to get it to synch. I get why they do this to save battery power - but it doesn't give you full confidence: if you want to know the trap does not have a dead mouse in it, you have to assume that you are in synch range and the failure to synch is because the trap is empty, not that you are too far away to synch. Takes a shift in mindset.

Received a new and defective trap. Customer support from goodnature is poor to disreputable. After downloading the Goodnature App and following the precise instructions, the trap failed to work, and (while initially being identified by the APP) it would not sync to my phone, per procedures given. The app directed to contact customer support, i emailed them, and they wanted to know where I bought it from, I sent them my amazon receipt, and their reply was so sorry, the third party amazon provider is not an authorized reseller, no warranty support for you. Then it was a hot potato amazon would not accept it back because of the CO2 cylinder and getting ahold of a returns rep is like a treasure hunt, to find a phone number to call. But it all ended well with a the reseller issuing a RMA and refunding the purchase. PS: The Goodnature app is horrible, you have one and only one chance to sync the trap with a device after that, it is bricked and will not sync or re-sync to your phone tablet..etc. Goodnature response what the App does have a limitation that way and that it would take a special request to look into reseting the trap? But that would be under warranty support which I did not have due to unauthorized reseller, no matter, as the trap failed work regardless of the being sync'd The device looks promising, but the manufacturer support and poor APP they provide is enought reason to be cautious in trying it.

I purchased a Goodnature A24 SMART Trap Kit to counter a rodent problem we have experienced in and around the chicken house on our hobby ranch. So far, the trap has been working very well for us. In the first 3 days of operation it has already dispatched 18 mice! Here is what I like about the A24 trap so far… Clearing the trap is an easy task for my wife and daughter, who otherwise despise the chore of removing mice from (and re-baiting and re-setting) standard mousetraps. The A24 trap is completely automatic and all we have to do is toss dead mice over a fence into a pasture for the magpies and crows to clean up. The app has a kill counter that gives us the date/time of each kill so we have a real-time account of trap effectiveness. There are only a few drawbacks to the Goodnature A24 traps worth mentioning… These traps are expensive, as are the proprietary Goodnature brand CO2 canisters that the company states must be used to avoid canceling the warranty. Furthermore, I am doubtful that each canister contains enough CO2 pressure for 24 activations. *Update* the canister only contains enough CO2 gas for 20 strikes, which is disappointing given the very high price of Goodnature refill canisters. Also, although the Bluetooth and the smartphone app of the Smart Trap Kit are working well, the cap containing the battery and circuitry will not stay snapped into place unless secured there with a wrap of duct tape. Overall, I am very happy with the A24 trap. I would certainly buy another trap or two if available at a lower cost.

The rats ate all the bait within days despite setting it up and testing it exactly as described. Now I learn there's no bait replacement? The formula pump is supposed to last 6 months, and then what? What an incredible waste of money. Do not buy this trap unless they decide to sell the formula replacement separately. I have more rats and mice than I did before buying it.

Worth every penny! Install in active area & you'll see results immediately with in 4 to 8hrs. Rats will stick their nose up in & trigger the trap & that's it! Recommend Installing vertically so you don't have to manually empty trap right a way so it can trigger on multiple rats over night because it auto resets. They'll just keep sticking their noses in & falling out after.

Was very excited for this. Had it for two months now and not a single kill. Mice running all around it and nothing. Disappointing.

I’ve had it in the garage for a couple weeks now, the spring traps are catching 100% of the mice currently, but I think if there’s nothing else available they’ll go for the bait in this trap. I like that it doensn’t need to be reset. Perfect for going on holidays and not worrying that the mice are going to get out of control.
