The Safe & Humane Solution – The OWLTRA Extra Large Plastic Tunnel Snap Rat Trap 2PCS is the non-toxic, humane solution to your rodent problem. Once a rat triggers the trap, a powerful snap activates, ensuring a swift and clean elimination. This product can be used both indoors and outdoors.
35% More Force – The OWLTRA Large Plastic Tunnel Snap Rat Trap 2PCS has a high precision trigger mechanism. Its stainless-steel spring snaps close with 35% more force.
Easy Set-up – Easy to use in just three simple steps: Bait the trap with high-protein substance, such as peanut butter, chocolate, or hazelnut spread. Please use a Q-tip, toothpick, or another tool to bait the trap to mask your human scent. Press the back pedal to the bottom and set the trap. Place the trap wherever you’ve seen signs of rodent activity or along the wall where rodents like to travel to. You are all set!
Touch-free Release – The touch-free release makes cleanup extremely easy. When the job is done, properly dispose of the dead rodent using the touch-free release. Simply clean the trap with warm, soapy water (unscented dish soap), and it’s ready to be used again!
Clear Tunnel and Sturdy Construction – The tunnel design entices rodents into entering the tunnel as rodents LOVE going into holes and tunnels. A clear tunnel entry allows you to see the rodents when needed and prevents accidental triggering with tunneled design. OWLTRA traps help keep kids & pets safe! The sturdy construction gives the trap greater reusability.

Very solid and good unit. Very easy to use AND clean; easier than the Victor. I bought mine (I have a half dozen others of another store brand) in August, finally catching my first adult rat about a week ago (rats are smart and suspicious of new stuff so don’t panic if they don’t use a trap right away) using hulled sunflower seed (no mess), then a second and third adult rat on consecutive nights. I have spent close to $20K on car repair because of rats (my car looks like a disco party at night these days in an effort to ward them off) and I have been determined to stop this constant and expensive problem. I have been trapping since 2010 but live in a rural area and it seems it’s going to be impossible to get rid of them entirely. I have a trap inside my car, as well. As long as this unit is appropriately placed (important!), and properly baited, you will get good results. Way, way better than snap traps and my God, just NEVER use poison or sticky pads, both being not only avoidably cruel but really hard on other good species (poison kills anything that eats the rat and sticky pads kill everything that gets on it from good snakes to warblers). I have used the same batteries this entire time since August. I recommend. I’m probably going to buy another.

This is very effective and I highly recommend it to anyone! Having recently gone through a mouse infestation of our garage (they found my stash of bird food!!), we needed to quickly control the situation. I originally bought one of these devices and was so impressed that a second one was purchased a few days later. We caught around 20 mice in a week and all were killed effectively. I’ll be honest, I was concerned that they wouldn’t be dead when the trap was emptied, but all were so it was certainly effective. Sometimes it was catching mice within 10 minutes of being put down! We set up a camera so we could monitor on our phone and be able to see the light which indicated that a kill had been made. So that was a great feature and really useful. The size of the trap is good, not too big and intrusive, but large enough for a large mouse. All in all, very impressed and well worth the money. Mouse problem solved!!

Well I have had this for maybe a week and got a huge rat 2 nights ago Update, and another last night . I had it set in the house and got nothing but the rats actually live in the shed and sneak into the house sometimes. So I baited with some sunflower seed kernels and set it in the shed last night, heard a beeping and found a huge rat this morning. It seems really well made and in summer I will set it outside to get rid of the rodents that eat my tomatoes. Easy to set and empty and will fit a big rodent in it. I like the idea of the usb power to use inside saving on batteries however apparently a set of D cells should knock off 60 rats. No more poison or snap traps here. Expensive, sure but effective- absolutely. Very good purchase. Update 6 September: The ratty head count here now is almost 20 , from huge ones to very small mice and still using the first set of batteries. This has caught the biggest rats I have ever seen here on the farm. I cant speak highly enough of this unit.

I’ve used Victor electronic mouse & rat traps for over 10 yrs. They’re VERY expensive, but definitely more humane & that’s important. I’ve been frustrated w/ them because they stop working before even going thru 2 sets of batteries. Many of those traps never make past 1 set of batteries. All the cleaning & treating them as good as can be doesn’t work! So I decided to try the 2-piece electronic Victor mouse traps since maybe if the part that holds the bait fails, it can be replaced cheaper than the entire trap & it would make cleaning easier too. But my orders have not been successful. I was sent the same old 1-piece traps instead, & when I tried to re-order the 2-piece traps, they just never came & I’ve been waiting since early Nov & over a month later still waiting for them to be shipped from Victor. So tried these Owltra mouse zappers in the meantime. Not only did they make it here in decent time, but they work so much better! So good in fact that I’m getting tired of seeing the green light flashing AGAIN & AGAIN. While waiting on the Victor’s to come, the mice have been nesting & I have lots of baby mice getting caught now. Thanks a lot Victor for all the additional killing of little critters I now have to do because of your slow/non order fulfillment. The Owltra’s just go & go & go! Even the bigger, fatter (pregnant) mice easily fit & go into Owltra traps, unlike the Victor mouse ones. In the past I had to use the Victor RAT size ones to allow for the pregnant & bigger mice to get in it (even more expensive & more dangerous for a pet paw to reach in & get shocked too). The owltra traps r made just right to put in a snack or cereal box to keep paws away from trap openings as well as easily slide into narrow places mice travel thru that the Victor is too wide to fit in. Another thing, the Owltra’s are also 2-piece w/ the batteries/electronics in the top piece that removes so the bottom piece can be soaked in water to clean. The entire bottom part is open for easy cleaning & baiting. As for baiting, I’ve used 1/4″ pieces of beef jerky for the strongest smell attractant w/o being wet & messy, I found that some goldfish flakes, dry dog or cat food nuggets, or bird food work best. Mice will come to these things w/o a hitch. Peanut butter, cheese, & crackers just don’t work well to attract mice to traps & tend to mess up the electronics w/ moisture & smearing. But now I’m sold on the beef jerky bits! Best bait of all. Trust me, I’ve had over 10 yrs experience w/ Victor’s electronic traps; bait matters! These Owltra’s don’t even need bait after the beef jerky has been used & that scent is in the trap along w/ the scent of previous mice being in the traps. The scents remain after the jerky is gone & keeps drawing more mice in to sniff around & u got ’em, no re-baiting even required! The scent of previous mice in a trap makes other mice consider it to be a safe mouse-friendly place to enter. So that matters too, & after the 1st catch, u have that scent in there which attracts more to enter. As for baby mice, it’s not unusual to catch 2 @ a time because the Owltra trap design is much different from the more size restrictive Victor trap. The Owltra’s cost less than the Victor alternative too. I’m an Owltra fan now! Good-bye Victor. I do have to say that the newer Victor mouse traps have much improved over the older ones tho! I’ll give ’em that! But the Owltra’s have outperformed Victor in real life usage for me in an old house in winter & in an area w/ large outdoor summer mice presence that come looking for a warm place to winter over in. Hope all this info helps someone. Please be humane tho!

Satisfait de mon achat. Ce piège nous a permis d’attraper une souris qui echappait à tous les autres pièges (tapette a souris, ultra son, bande autocollante) en 3 jours!! Je recommande.

We put this in a couple places in the house and one day my wife decided to put it in the babys crib (no baby inside) where she found some droppings. In the middle of the night I was confused as there seemed to be a flashing light in the room. I finally came to my senses and realized it was the TRAP! Oh man, there was 3-4″ of tail sticking out of it. I didn’t have the heart to open the trap so I held on to the whole trap and launched the rat into the forest.
2024-August Update: we have caught like 6-7 rats in this and each time we set the trap it probably takes a few days to catch one. We put it on the car seat inside the car as a rat got in my wife’s brand new subaru and was chewing the kids seat. BAM! Another dead rat. We have never even changed the batteries in this thing either. Such a good product. In fact I only changed the bait today after a year+ of use.

These traps are super easy to set up and super efficient. I bought the bigger traps meant for rats thinking that’s what I was dealing with, turns out the mice were just outsmarting any glue or snap traps set out. These managed to catch EIGHT mice in the span of 2 hours. I always wipe down the inside + bait area in case the smell of dead mouse deters any others from going in, which is easy thanks to the design of the trap. I’ve never had any issues with accidentally zapping myself, and it’s easy to turn them off if my pets are wandering too close. If you’re squeamish like me, you don’t even have to see the mouse to dispose of it; simply dump it out. Only con I’ve had which is minor is if you have these in a bedroom, they let out a zapping/electrical noise when a mouse lands. It can be jarring and lasts about 10-15 seconds, and sometimes a faint scent of burning can be smelled. It’s not every time and it isn’t too abrasive, and I assume it’s because the bigger traps meant for rats emit a higher voltage, which might be overkill for a small mouse. Again, not a huge issue and honestly it’s a peace of mind thing for me since it’s a guaranteed kill. With how many mice I’ve caught since purchasing in August and seeing as I no longer need to buy glue or snap traps, I would definitely recommend if you have an infestation or just a couple of smart mice.
