This trap was very expensive and didn't catch one rat. I ended up using the old fashioned wooden Victor trap which worked great.

Automatic Trap For Rodents

Expensive, and does NOT catch squirrels at all--

Hi Kai,

I'm sorry to hear you have not yet been successful with your trap. Have you tried alternate bait lures to bait the A24 trap as we do recommend an alternative from the chocolate formula that is included with your trap kit.

If you could please contact us directly at support@automatictrap.com, we will escalate the issues to our trap experts!

Regards,
Linda

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

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!

It didn't kill one rat ever

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.

Hi Laura,

Thanks for responding. I am sorry to hear about your lack of success so far. I'd like to learn more about your set up and help escalate your situation. Can you send me an email regarding your placement, food competition, trap site, etc...? via ty.huggins@automatictrap.com

Additionally, have you read our Success Guide yet?

https://www.automatictrap.com/success-guide

It has detailed instructions about pre-feeding, luring, baiting, and installation. Often the issue can be resolved by moving the trap or removing competitive food sources.

Thanks,

Ty

Extremely impressive company..

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.

Well made trap

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

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.

Love this product, not toxic to other animals when or if they come into contact with dead rodents. Highly recommended products.

I haven't had any issues with the trap.

I haven't had any issues with the trap. The bait seems to separate from it's oil base, but it is a pretty good attractant. Two traps together are about equal with my dog for rat kills this summer. Its pet and human safety is a fantastic feature. Relying on scavengers to disperse the meat really works better than anticipated.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the feedback. I am sorry about your experience with our trap. We certainly believe stand behind the performance of our product. I would love the opportunity to resolve this issue if possible. Could you please email ty.huggins@automatictrap.com with further details and perhaps we can strike up a dialogue from there?

Thanks,

A simple bucket of water worked MUCH better!

I very much like the concept of your product. I put it side by side with a bucket half full of water. After 4 months, the bucket drowned well over 30 chipmunks, squirrels, packrats, and mice. Your expensive trap got exactly 1 mouse.

I set up a motion activated camera. The mice would crawl all over your trap but never ventured inside. The CO2 doesn’t work in winter and I think your bait freezes and doesn’t attract.

Hi Trapper,

Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about your challenges with the trap. Success definitely varies for each trapping site.

Can you please send an email to ty.huggins@automatictrap.com and elaborate so I can discuss this further with our trap experts? We definitely stand behind our trap, but know that not all applications work on the first deployment. I look forward to resolving this with you.

Thanks,

Ty

I purchased This product for rodent control at a horse facility. Horses drop grain so there’s lots of food for rodents. You could see the rats and mice running around even in the daytime . I tried the bait that comes with the trap as well as the grain that the horses eat, I did not catch one rat or mouse in 3 months. I called the company and Their suggestion was to stop feeding the horses grain, not possible. One of the videos they show online is someone setting up a trap in the middle of the woods, maybe it works there?
