The Big Cheese Ultra Power Ready-Baited Rat Trap – Twinpack, Kills Rats, Ready-To-Use, Easy Disposal, Plastic, Indoor or Outdoor Use, White

This is a good product and it has successfully caught the rat that was going under my decking. I have been very stressed by it all as I have a dog and diseases from the rat are not good to put it lightly to him, let alone to humans. This is an easy trap to fill with peanut butter (that is what attracted my rat) or any other bait that is recommended, but don't overfill as you have to be sure that the rat doesn't just get part way in and reaches the bait too easily. The rat has to put its head in properly to reach the bait. This is a strong spring and it does snap the trap shut quite ferociously. Also very importantly, TIE the damn thing down, or as someone else suggested, put inside a bait box as it is quite a light trap and as with my rat, he must have reversed in order to try and free himself, and therefore in the location mine was in he managed drag the trap and slip down a a gap next to the built in water feature tub. I also thought that ( perhaps too innocently), that it killed the rat outright,but alas no, and it was rather upsetting to hear the rattling of the trap as I guess he was in death throws trying to free himself. I hate killing anything and would have preferred to have got a humane trap, but I could not have got to the next stage of releasing it without having to drive out to the countryside, and I do not have a car. It is though, a clean kill,in as much as there was no mess or blood, and as far as I can make out,it probably breaks the neck I guess and traps it. If you have rodent problem, I am confident that this will do the job for you. It got mine and I am still leaving the others out for a while in case there is another rat lurking. Things to remember: place the trap where other wild life will not be tempted to try and get the bait, like hedgehogs,cats,squirrels, and even ground feeding birds, that would be a tragedy. I have ordered two more as I have a big garden,so I am ok with the effectiveness of them, For those reviewers who put things like ''it never caught anything'' patience is the key, it can take a week or more depending on the circumstances,, or if you never catch anything, maybe you don't have a problem with rodents so much as you thought. I took all the bird feeders down and removed all bird feeding equipment as recommended by the RSPB after I saw this rat, as they are attracted to the fallen bird seed, and nuts and anything else that may drop to the floor that you feed the birds on. I watched my rat eating the seed dropped by the birds directly underneath the hanging bird feeder, so this had to go, and that was a big disappointment. Anyway, hope this is helpful and they are not too expensive and at least worth a try I think you will find they are good even though they don't look meaty enough to do the job, I found them quite capable in the end.

These are quite good, easy to set with being pre baited but you can reuse them easily enough. I have had to reuse as I caught plenty of small mice but no rat yet so this is an on going project. Generally though impressed with them and they do catch something even if it's not the thing you're trying to catch. It is easy to dispose of the victim. Can recommend.

Used these around the shed and garage after spotting signs of rats. Trap’s pre-baited, so no faff—just set and place. Trigger’s sensitive and powerful—caught two within 48 hours. No blood or mess, just clean kills and easy disposal. Plastic build’s solid and weather-resistant. Can be reused, but I binned mine after use—cheap enough to replace. Ideal for anyone who wants fast results without poison or complicated setups. Perfect for site storage, garden sheds, or trailers where rodents sneak in. Minor gripe: bait can dry out if left too long unused—best to check and refresh if needed. 👍 Pros ✅ Pre-baited and ready to use ✅ Strong spring for clean, instant kill ✅ Easy to set and dispose ✅ Works indoors and outdoors ✅ Twinpack offers good value 👎 Cons ❌ Bait dries out over time ❌ Not pet-safe—keep well out of reach ❌ Plastic build may crack if misused

We have had an infestation of mice so have tried all sorts of traps. The "live capture" traps did not catch any mouse even though placed in "active" areas. The Ultra Power Trap case impressed me because it can be left in "active" areas all day and night, without concern it could hurt household pets or children. I suppose it WOULD work if a mouse ventured inside, but no mouse has been tempted to enter. The Big cheese Ultra Power Mouse traps (one of which is inside the enclosed case) seem to be effective -- they are easy to set up and the mechanism responds to very light tough. HOWEVER, no mouse has tested it. We have 6 placed in various spots around the house and not a single one has been touched by a mouse. One evening, I saw a mouse walk into my dining room and long the skirting board but it walked right by the trap without even looking at it. I suspect the "fresh bait" is not attractive, should would try it another time with different bait. We did catch two mice with Aspectek mouse traps, baited with walnuts and a bit of peanut butter. I don't know if the success of Aspectek is that it is a "better mouse trap" or if it is the bait that was better. Finally, given we knew there were still mice in the house (droppings and chewed up bin bags gave them away), we used sticky boards and caught two mice within an hour. I know they are frowned upon, so we used them as a last resort, Our impression is that the mice did not suffer on the sticky mat (i.e. the mat itself is not painful, as I know from having a finger stuck on it myself). My husband dispatched it with a single sharp blow which presumably was not more painful than the sharp blow of the mouse trap -- or at least that's what we tell ourselves. For now, we think we are mouse-free and we think we will use normal mouse traps with nuts and peanut butter if we need to rid ourselves of mice again in future. Oh... we also tried a battery/electrical trap (bought in a shop) that supposedly kills mice with a single, quick shock. No mouse has entered the box, so we know only that it is not "attractive" but do not know if it would work to kill a mouse quickly.

This is just a box with the trap inside. I didn’t use it yet as I had to place another order for the bait.

Fatto bene peccato che ho usato la colla
