I purchased this device to deal with squirrels that were damaging the siding of my house and ripping my screens. At the advice of a spokesperson I used peanut butter as bait. However, the squirrels simply chewed off the top that secured the bait cup and carried both away. I had much more success with a Hav-A-Hart trap, but then I had the unpleasant job of disposing of the live squirrels.

This initial price might seem high, but thinking I had a single rat problem, I was surprised when 14 rats were eliminated within the first 3 months - all on one C02 cartridge and only a fraction of the bait! Amazing product!

I bought three of these, and I would have returned them but it was past the deadline for return. I have had one in place for 3 months and I have not killed a single rat.

No luck so far. Despite following instructions carefully, I have yet to catch a rodent.

Extremely impressive company... the A24 is one of the best traps I have seen in the last 40 years! Keep up the good work. Maybe you will launch the A18 and A12 to the US and Canada markets?

I'm pleasantly surprised that it works so well. We live where you can't stop mice from coming around. We now see lots less mice around and the counter keeps counting up. If you even remotely think you have a rat or mouse problem, you should try this.

UPS lost my shipment but the vendor investigated and I eventually received the trap. The trap itself is very well designed, packaged, and has excellent instructions

It does work, but not as good as other traps. I have no idea why. This one does work outdoors where battery ones don't because of rain or just from dew. I like this one because I don't have to rearm it. But the rats aren't that all attracted to it even though I use identical bait. Elaboration: The site is central Florida. Used outside in a yard with oak and pine trees near our sheds. The rodent problem is rats. Squirrels too but those are not why I bought it for. I have rats that live in our sheds. I've attached the trap to a 2x4 so I can easily move the trap around. The provided bait caught 1 rat. The ants I believed ate the rest before it went bad. I now use Cheez-it as bait. Even though it only last a couple of days, I get a rat like 20% of the time. I used to use electronic ones where the rodents walked in and got electrocuted. Using Cheez-it it worked 90% of the time. The 3 cardboard bait things you are supposed to place to see if you have rodents in those areas? They didn't work at all. They still hanging and not a nibble on any of them even though I know the squirrels and rats are right there.
