Traps Go Missing
By Bryan on 07/31/2018
I'm having a hard time recommending this item. On the one hand, I've caught several rats and chipmunks with it and it performed flawlessly. It's easy to set, reset, clean, and bait. However, of the four I originally ordered, I now only have one left. The other three have disappeared. My assumption is that an animal was only partially trapped, but not killed, and ran off with the trap. I hate the idea of that as I don't want them to suffer. This product would be better if it had a method of anchoring to a solid surface.

Can cause suffering
By Elizabeth on 08/25/2019
I loved these traps at 1st, as I can set them easily with my arthritic fingers, and no fears of getting hurt. They worked well at first catching Norwegians in my shed. Then I tried them in a box on top of chicken coop for roof rats - 2x I was woken up to a clicking noise and found trapped rat alive. Drowning failed with the 2nd - I found an empty trap in the bucket, so the rat managed to get out of the trap. I may try once more with new traps - maybe these got old - if current efforts with Rat-X and borrowed electronic rat zapper don't work. Would be helpful if Bell had info on how to test for age/lost effectiveness.
