    I was using the wooden Victor snap traps, and after killing a rat I would clean and disinfect the traps before reusing. A pest control guy told me to just empty out the traps, and leave all the blood and guts on the trap, never clean them, just rebait and reset. He said it attracts more rats that way.

      Hes not wrong. Just be diligent about gloves and handwashing and where you store your traps and no need to disinfect. If u clean them that's such a foreign object for them already adding a chemical smell will detour them. Smelling a dead rodent is normal for rats they eat each other all the time

      I'm with you! I've been having a chipmunk invasion in my garage and have been using the Jawz snap traps that work wonderfully in trapping the critters, but not killing them instantly.
      I have had to put 4 chipmunks down with my high powered pellet gun, that were still alive in the trap. I don't like seeing anything suffer, so I'm looking for the most powerful trap that kills instantly.

    I have used every trap that you have there and the best rat trap hands down is the Victor wood base rat trap. It's inexpensive, well made, simple design, and kills rats. You can also modify it so it snaps with a stronger force ensuring an instant kill. I bury all dead rats next to plants, bushes, flowers and trees to serve as fertilizer. I suggest peanut butter as bait as rats love it.

    • @1Mannco
      @1Mannco Před 3 lety +3

      How and what do you do to modify it so it snaps with a 'stronger force'.?
      Also you can pound in like 5-6 nails from underneath around where it snaps down so they are sticking out about 1/3 inch so it holds on to the rat when it gets trapped. I've heard you can tweak the latch metal piece 'just a hair' so it'll snap easier, always watch the fingers. It's good to use gloves and wash hands when touching traps.

  • @kevallrob7343

    Do any plastic Snap Traps allow you to adjust or fix the latching mechanism after it has worn? I bought a 6-pak for Rats and after a few years none will hold open.

    If you plan on putting these traps in a bait station be sure to measure them first. 3 different trex style traps have 3 different heights when set. Some of these traps are narrow enough but you need the bait station to be tall enough. Wooden Victor traps don't seem to fit into station as they are too wide and narrowing them seemed like a time consuming option.

  • @traningday
    @traningday Před 3 lety +3

    Best traps are the old wooden ones they stand the test of time, it all depends on the bait how and where you place the trap and how to remove the odors of the trap specially if reusing it, rats are more cautious then mice so try to make the trap as part of the environment as possible and they work like a charm.

    The Jawz is Absolute Trash...try pressing on the mechanism to set it off..half the time it wont even work,likewise with the Cream colored ones,i also dont like Catchmasters as half the time they have problems too,the ONLY ones i find Reliable as a Fellow Exterminator like yourself are the Victors (Pain in the Ass to set but worth it) and my BAR NONE Favorite the T-REX...super easy to set and Reliable but sadly often Expensive $80 for 12 compared to $26 for 12 Traditional Victors.

  • @MrJm323
    @MrJm323 Před 2 lety +2

    None of these traps work (consistently) without added "teeth" -- screws (or in the case of the wooden base Victor) small finishing nails -- driven through the bottom "jaw" (or through the small holes you've pre-driven into the wood base, below the kill bar landing, in the old Victor). The plastic "teeth" on those newer snap traps are a joke. If you don't add that feature, 75% of your rats are going to just pull their head out after triggering the (laughing out loud) "kill bar".
    Also, you need to tie off the trap or, in the case of the wood Victor trap, screw it down on a 2X4 or thinner 1X4 plank. Otherwise, you'll set your traps on one night, and notice that they've disappeared the following day. ...(The other thing that happens is that they are sprung by mice who will finish eating the bait before skittering away clean.)
    ....But, you'd have to be a beginner at this to not know those two things. There's not a single trap that is ready to use, right out of the package. They all have to be modified.
    The electric traps? ....Put a brick on each side of the trap. Some rats jump at first shock, causing the trap to tip over onto its side; and then finish eating your bait and get away.

      @covercalls88 Před 3 lety

      I just wash the wood base victor down, I always reuse the traps that kill as I know they are sensitive enough to kill the rats. As a improvement to the trap i use add a line of stables with the top cut off leaving about 1/4 of an inch sticking up acting as a spike so they cannot back out. More blood but makes the traps a better killer. I also attach a weight on the trap so the rat won't try and make off with the trap if they are not killed instantly.
