i have to ask have you caught a rat yet?from my experience with the rats we had they are clever little things i was looking at these things but thought it is a lot of money for somthing that may not do the job i have tried everything apart from one of these and i have sat there with night vision monoculars watching what they actually get up to in our run i know once they learn what somthing is or does they avoid it unless they are young and stupid but adult rats can plan ahead what they are going to do before they do it and i read somwhere it has been scientifically proved they have this intelligence we have trapped all the rats we had all apart from the big ones which we are working on fortunatley the small to medium size litters that appear are gullable and fall for glue traps easily.i would love to know if the trap you have has caught any big ones and if so has it been more than one?

this is one of my fen traps in the biscuit tin inside a wooden box i made .theres a hole each end which rats love to go through and then once they tread on the traps plate it closes on them ,i must of caught over a hundred rats in these over the last 4 years ,i always put them in boxes though to prevent catching cats hedgehogs etc
