Mate, this thing is unreal. Catches rats no problem but when it caught a mouse it almost cut it in half.This trap is brutal and believe me when I say it works as it even caught a bird.I highly recommend this product as it does exactly what it describes and then some.

Cruel Trap. I heard it go off, went to bed, other side of the house. I awoke to banging about 7 hours later. The Rat had dragged the trap from the back of the house to the front, about 20m. When I looked to see what the banging was, it was a Kookaburra grabbing the rats body belting it, like they do with a snake. The Rat was alive. I will not go into details. I had to go outside and end the rats life, but also protect the Kookaburra as it was never going to remove the rat from the trap. Had Kookaburra eaten the Rats body, it would have had the trap stuck arounds its beak. Now these traps, do not have a thin metal bar that comes down with force that kills the rat instantly, it pins them in there between plastic jaws. This was the second time I had used the trap, last ... MoreCruel Trap. I heard it go off, went to bed, other side of the house. I awoke to banging about 7 hours later.

This was the second time I had used the trap, last time, the rat was alive and 5m from where it was set 8 hours later. Bunnings should stop selling this because it is animal Cruelty.

Placed the trap where there is suspected traffic at night. Once in the morning when discarding the dead rat had impression that there was a last movement. The second time, midnight, heard the trap catching a rat which continued to squeal. Went outside and had to push on the trap to properly break the neck (very reluctant). Felt very guilty and unhappy. The springs must be much stronger for an instant kill. I disposed the trap after the experience.
