Ratsak Mouse Trap

I read the reviews and wasn’t sure after hearing people say the mice weren’t dead in the traps .. it sounded pretty cruel.. which is why I’m writing my own review.. I had bought a metal humane catch and release one first which sadly didn’t work for us at all for the past week, and after being kept awake by scurrying in the wall and then seeing one fall down from climbing behind my bird cage and run across the floor I realised they just had to go .. so I bought two brands of traps - from a supermarket, same style - which is all I can find in th...

I got 2 packs and omg with in 1 hour I got 2 mice one out the back on the self where we keep the dog food and one in the kitchen under the sink. Rest them both few hours later got another mice.Will be getting this again. I have one question how many times can u use it before the bait is no good?

Wow - you guys saved my marriage! My wife saw a small brown mouse run along the skirting of my house tonight at around 10pm. Pulled the sofa out and couldn’t see it. She was distraught and couldn’t sleep - shoved towels under my sons bedroom door. It was manic. I went over to woolies, picked up a 2 pack of you prebaited mouse traps - setup both of them around the lounge room behind the sofa. We went to bed…. Honestly around 45 mins later SNAP echoed through the house. I shot up, with my iPhone flashlight and to my complete surprise and joy foun...

Checked the traps in the morning after 4 days of no luck. Mouse was still alive, breathing fast, and in agony, squeaking loudly. It was very unpleasant. Had to finish the guy off myself, but that's what I bought the trap for.

Bought it and it had been down for just over an hour and BAMM!! Killed one of the little . Also did enjoy not having to touch the dead mouse.

I bought a pack of Ratsak mouse traps and a pack of a cheaper brand mouse traps and the Ratsak Mouse Traps work the best. The only problem I had was they didn't seem to be attracted to the bait, so instead I added a tiny bit of peanut butter where the bait was in the trap with an ice cream stick and it worked wonders. These traps are far more sensitive than other traps and kill mice instantly. I would highly recommend buying these traps instead of the cheaper traps, I'm yet to catch any mouse in the cheaper traps.
Ratsak Mouse Traps are worth every cent and easy to set up and even easier to dispose of the caught mouse.

We're in northern NSW in a mouse plague. Saw a neighbour had these so thought I'd try them.
Bought two to use alongside three different types of traditional traps. These are catching mice when the others aren't. Easy to set up & easy to empty.
Have had no problem with the mice not being dead like some others have claimed. That has only happened on the older traditional ones we have.
Going to buy another dozen when we go into town again this week!
Didn't think you could reinvent the mouse trap, but there you go

Very effective jaws but flimsy latching mechanism. Broke after catching one mouse. Purchased two and both have faulty latching after first days use. Also used the similar product with red handle which is more reliable. Do not buy the black plastic ones

Western NSW with a mouse plague. Purchased 6 of these traps. Over the last fortnight 100% success. No escapees, no mice kicking. 3 or 4 mice without renewing the bait.

My parents live in rural NSW and they are having a mouse plague problem.
My parents have a variety of traps set but I can honestly say that these were the only traps that were trapping the mice and killing them.
They were averaging between 5-6 mice been caught a night in them.
I can't speak highly enough about these traps they are awesome.

I set two traps, they both caught a mouse.
In the first trap the mouse was dead.
In the second trap I found that the mouse was still alive, with its head trapped in the jaws. It was trying to move around dragging the trap with it. I had to kill the mouse with a shovel, it was pretty distressing actually.

Pros:
Very easy to set the trap without snapping on fingers

Cons:
doesn't kill the mouse reliably, unnecessarily cruel.

I'll be looking for a different brand with similar design but perhaps stronger spring or "teeth" on both jaws not just the upper jaw.

Easy to set up but doesn't work
Waste of money
Rats or mice just eat the bait after setting the trap
Not strong enough to kill on impact
Basically feeding and fattening the mice and rats not killing them

The pre baited trap I brought from Woolworths really worked I caught 4 in one day and rest just kept coming it was really good I kept it near my oven only $8 excellent value sets easy

Trap doesn't work. Trap keeps going off within one second off being set. Not sure it would kill the rat anyway - does not seem that strong.
Agree, some of the other posts sound fake.

Trap fails to set.
Being plastic it doesn't last.
Just use the old wood and metal ones.
You get 1 use out of it before it is no longer usable.
Recommend you not buy.
