Amazing traps for the uninitiated

Amazing traps for the uninitiated
This is how it all started. My wife has a good heart, she picked up a nestling from a parking lot. We later learned that it’s not a good idea to pick them up, but she wanted to give the poor animal a chance in life. She gave him a place to sleep and feed him everyday until one morning she didn’t hear him as usual. We kept the bird in our outdoor and meshed covered porch. She saw blood and feather spread around. I went outside to find out the poor bird was eaten, we suspected an iguana, never a rat. It didn’t cross my mind, “I haven’t seen a rat in all these years living here” I thought. We live in a community that has a good sized natural environment close to us, so maybe it was rats.It wasn’t until a after couple of weeks later that I found out. I was alone at home, it was 3 am and i heard a strange sound. It was the rats eating the bird food we left in the porch. Now we know these need to be in containers and not left outside in the open. I also discovered that there were two of them. I’m not afraid of the beasts but also know I should not get too close to them. I gave them a good scare and they ran away. They have now eaten a bird and food from us. I knew now that I should prepare because they will come back for more.Next day, I got the message that my traps will arrive a day later even though I was told they will arrive today. So, I left work early enough to clean the mess and then head to Home Depot to buy these. When I returned it was about to get dark so I read again the reviews that had tips on using dog food and peanut butter. I smeared peanut butter in the triggering plate too. I also pushed the plate just a little bit because they have a small dead zone before triggering. I put these traps in the places they run around, close to walls. I also used a couple of glue traps just in case. It was around 7 pm. Then I went to my things. I knew they will come back.I went to bed around 10 pm and at 11:30pm I heard some snapping sound and then the animal started moving around, struggling with the trap, I could here a sort of cry with a plastic sound, similar to a plastic toy hitting around with the floor. These kept going for about 2-3 minutes and then it all got quiet. I then went to take a look, and saw one dead rat with his head trapped, it died by suffocation. But saw the other rat too, it quickly hid when he saw me and I knew it was scared. I also saw that the other trap was still there close to him and not triggered yet. So I went back to sleep. 2-3 hours later, I then woke up again to another snapping sound but this time no struggle was heard. I knew then that my vengeance was complete. I woke up next day to see them both dead close to each other, they had it coming. I think the worst part was to get rid of their bodies.In the end, these traps work. Just follow the tips I did which I got from other reviewers. They are amazing, they will get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and effective
Reviewed in Australia on May 8, 2021
I live in a semi-rural area and have a problem with rats getting in the roof (and gnawing on electrical wiring) and under the house. Hitherto I've used bait stations, which certainly kills the rats, but they die in the roof or in the sub-floor and create a stink for a couple of weeks.

After reviewing a couple of cheaper and similar design traps I settled on Tomcat — and they work a treat. I caught this specimen on the second night, adjacent to a hole where they were getting under the house.

I'm happy to recommend Tomcat Rat Snap traps — a quality product that works.
