This trap is amazing! If it wasn't priced so high I would have 20 more!

Doesn't seem effective on mice.

This is the best trap I have ever purchased and used. Our farm house was overran with little fuzzy critters. After the trap was installed we're down to zero in our house. We might have to get rid of the cat because she doesn't have a job now. =) We plan on getting a few for our barn.

I did recommend these traps to our local coop store and they started stocking them along with co2 cartridges, I have helped several friends set them on a 2 by 8 board and frame so you can easily move them around the yard freestanding , I put dry dog food in mine as that seems to attract them best in my yard ,thanks Colleen Work

I stupidly bought two traps, as due to a big construction project on the adjacent property my yard in San Francisco was suddenly overrun with rats. I followed the mounting and food loading instructions scrupulously. For an investment of about $300 for the traps and supplies, the traps killed one rat, and one mouse over a 6 month period. Whoop de doo. I could have done that with a $5 spring trap from the hardware store. I love the concept of a trap without poison, and that it does not need to be re-set each time, but these traps did not work well enough for me to justify the expense.

I haven't caught a damned thing with these things

Great concept, but our rats learned super quickly to avoid this. While the counter showed numerous "hits," I only ever found 1 deceased rat and our rat population never really decreased. I did read the literature and it said that we may not find many dead ones, as other vermin would likely drag off the bodies, but I didn't find this to be the case, as the rat paths were well-traveled directly underneath the system, no matter where I set it. Ultimately I reverted back to a black plastic snap trap, which I set right next to the A24, and caught a good number using that old-fashioned method and sunflower seeds as bait. I even changed out the bait area, modifying it to hold sunflower seeds rather than the "chocolate" syrup provided, and still no luck, even though I was catching several a week with the snap trap and same bait, set right next to the A24. I still like the concept, but our rats thumbed their nose at it, so for me, a waste of a good deal of money. It now sits in my garage, dusty.

Excellent device. I believe we are now RAT free. Easy to use and set.
