Bell Labs Trapper T-Rex Rat Trap (4 Traps)

I knew I had a rat in my attic from a camera I installed. I bated these traps with peanut butter and pre cooked bacon. Less that 12 hours later I had the little rascal! This trap is easy to bait and set and is deadly. Highly recommended.

Excellent rat traps. Only a few misses, I believe were due to smaller Juvenal rats. Pro tip, place a little peanut butter around the trap as a freebee, let them get a taste for it , I placed a little more on the lower corners to relax the beast, then I placed more on the top of the trap , forcing the rat to stand on its hind legs , and when hes finished a lot of times they place both front feet square on the trap ,not only are they unaware after eating the top bait, being on only two feet reduces thier ability to react . absolutely deadly , best traps I ever used . Im buying four more

I used to use "no kill" traps, but a county vector control agent educated me as to why compression traps should be used..... one of them is disease. She was using this Bell trap, so I decided to purchase them here on Amazon. They are high quality, easy to use, cleverly designed, are reusable, and they work. There's a removable-from-the-bottom tube piece which one fills with, for example, peanut butter. Then one simply squeezes the non-serrated end and the trap is set. Even if one places it with a mild bounce on the floor, the trap doesn't shut. It takes a press on the inner platform to close, and the bait is in a hole under that platform. There's no way the rodent can get to the bait without pressing the platform. One just picks up the trap and dead rodent, and them squeezing the non-serrated part releases the animal. The specialist advised that users do NOT clean the trap because it is best to have the rodent odor there. She also advised to keep the open/set trap with the serrated jaws facing a wall. I did lose one of the bait tubes. My fault. So I taped up the hole from the bottom of the trap and used a smaller amount of bait. Have no idea where to buy extra tubes.

These traps are amazing. I've used mouse traps before. Trying to set them and put bait in them can be a pain. Not to mention, other traps don't always catch what you're trying to catch. The prey can steal the bait without the trap going off. Not these though. These traps are simple. All you have to do is open it completely to set it. It automatically sets its self. There's a great little spot for the bait to sit in so it can't be stolen by whatever you're trying to catch. I set 2 traps and both were able to catch prey on the first try. We bought a house with a palm tree in the front. There was a roof rat living in the tree. Needless to say. He doesn't live there anymore. And doesn't go on top of the engines of our cars for warmth anymore either. Which was the main reason we wanted them gone. As rats are known to chew wires and hoses and all kinds of stuff. Great and easy to use traps. And large enough to catch roof rats. I would recommend these to anyone with rats that they don't want around anymore. Also the creator of the traps sent us an email after we purchased them. Seems like a very nice guy. Email said if we have any issues or concerns don't hesitate to contact him. Also to let him know if shipping was taking too long. Which it didn't. They were here (Las Vegas) in 2 days. I added a photo to this review so you can see the size of critters these are capable of catching. My foot is in the picture for comparison. I wear a size 13 shoe.

These rat traps had zero durability, and of zero quality. These are not easy to install meaning to set to capture a rat. You have to be very, very careful as it’s very easy to trap your fingers or hand and trying to set them. These do not function as described. For 4 wrapped traps these are highly overpriced. I returned because these are useless. I do not recommend.

Set 4 traps with peanut butter in known rat trail. Large sticky traps- this rat laughed at those things- would pull himself off and avoid them in the future. Set after work- in the morning I was told that we had caught a squirrel in one trap... well, Squirrels have fur on their tails- this creature did not. This rat was the size of a Squirrel!!! Easy to set up. Works extremely quick. The Bionic Rat is DEAD! Worth the money!

These work incredibly well. We put a tiny bit of almond butter on the trigger to hold black birdseed on, and got 9 chipmunks in 3 days (with 4 traps). Only 3 stars because two out of the four traps have broken after one use. The other two traps have been used and reset several times, but 50% breaking after one use isn't great.

So far these traps have worked well. Have killed 3 or 4 rats with them, one got it's tail caught and could not escape, it wedged the trap under a piece of wood, and could not pull it's tail out of the trap, shot it with a BB gun. One of the traps even killed a small possum, feel bad about that, be careful where you set these traps. These traps are much easier and safer to set than the old wood ones. Also easy to dispose of dead rats, just open the trap the same way you set them. It's not so easy to disarm these traps, I use a small stick, or a piece of cardboard to trip them, when I want to add fresh bait. I have had the best luck using bird seed to bait the trap, I sprinkle the seed in the trap. It is fine if the seed goes under the trigger tongue, it's the smell that lures them in. I purchased four of these traps, so far none of them broken, have had them just under a month.
