- Rat Traps Indoor and Outdoor - Dual-Entry Large Rat Trap Outdoor and Indoor for Home, Garden and Restaurant with 99.9% Trap Rate | Easy to Use Rodent Traps with Safe Hands Free Design - UCatch

We’ve had these traps set up for just over a week near our chicken coop and have already caught 6 rodents! We use chicken feed in the bait trap since that’s what attracted them in the first place and we’ve found them super effective. They’re so easy to set up, empty, and reset - plus the kills are clean so there’s no nasty stuff to have to clean out. They seem to be really sturdy too, my dogs have dragged them around once or twice and you aren’t able to tell at all. We would say they’re well worth the buy!

I’m honestly so relieved I found these traps, they’ve been exactly what I was looking for. The biggest reason I chose them was the enclosed design, and it absolutely delivers on peace of mind. I have a curious dog who gets into everything, and with traditional traps I was always worried about her getting hurt. With these, there’s no exposed mechanism, so there’s zero risk of her getting her nose or paws snapped. That alone makes them worth it for me. They’re also incredibly easy to use. The removable bait cup makes setup quick and mess-free, and I really like that I can set and dispose of everything without having to touch anything unpleasant. It’s a completely hands-free process, which is a huge plus. Performance-wise, they work exactly as advertised. When they trigger, it’s quick and clean—no mess, no struggle, and no second-guessing whether it worked. Just effective and straightforward. I also appreciate the thoughtful design overall. The dual entry seems to make a difference in actually catching rodents, and placing them around the house or outside has been simple and hassle-free. Overall, these traps strike the perfect balance between effectiveness and safety. If you have pets or just want a cleaner, easier solution, these are a no-brainer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

I set up two of these Ucatch traps after buying them in November 2025, glad it came in a pack of 2. At first, I didn’t see any results, the food was gone, but no rats were caught. I honestly started doubting whether I’d even set them correctly or put the bait in the right place, especially because I left them alone for a while and forgot about them until December. When I remembered, I went back and watched the setup videos to see exactly how to load the bait and position the trap. This time, I paid close attention and made a mental note of how I set them to ensure that I press on the back so it can snap when a rat enters. Within about a week or thereabout, they caught two small rats! The rats were pretty small, but thankfully I could see the tail from outside but not the bodies. I had previously seen rats in my garage months ago, no idea where they came from, freaked me out! It’s getting colder in Minnesota so they probably found a way to get in for warmth. After a while I stopped seeing them, even though I still noticed poop droppings, they had damaged one of my fur winter coat. That made me suspect they were still around. Sure enough, Ucatch got them!! When it was time to throw them out, I was honestly scared and grossed out. I thought I might have to pop the trap open and physically handle the rats. On December 11, 2025, I watched the instructions video again and realized how easy it actually was: I just pressed down, released the rat into a trash bag outside, and that was it. I made sure to do it outside, just in case (God forbid) anything was still alive and tried to get into the house. Thankfully, all was fine. I rarely write reviews, but I had to come back and say these traps really work. For the second round, I added more peanut butter (same PB I used to catch these ones) in the bait compartment (I see they sell replacements on Amazon but I don’t need those now, just in case there are more rats lurking around. I didn’t need to clean the trap; I simply opened it to drop the rats into the bag. There was no smell, no noise, and it functioned exactly as expected. One important note: when I was trying to reset the trap after realizing it hadn’t caught anything the first time, I was fiddling with it to see how it worked inside, and it snapped on my finger and fell to the floor. I ended up with a small bruise on my right thumb. So don’t play around with it once it’s set, watch the video and follow the instructions carefully. Interestingly, one rat that died ate the bait fully, while the other one that also died hadn’t eaten much of the peanut butter at all. I had put a generous amount of bait, so maybe it only got a taste before it was caught. I absolutely hate dealing with rodents, but this product made it manageable. Great product!

Terrific product. Caught the big fat rat first night in use. No mess, gore, easy to use. Super strong and no issue getting pets caught. Very well built. Haven’t caught more but hoping there was just one. Great price. Reusable, and really easy to set up.

I researched many traps, as none seemed to work in the past. I liked the fact that this one was fully enclosed, so that I didn’t have to worry about where I would put it with my dogs and bird feeders outside. I finally decided on a window ledge outside one of our picture windows, and turned one of the bird feeder cameras towards the window to capture the activity of the rats at night, which was a lot. That showed us what we were doing wrong with our bird feeders, and how to place them more efficiently, without having to take them in each night, and making the only food source the rat traps. I originally had both traps out there together, but covered with some snake grass I bought at a pet store, and used peanut butter and baking soda to put in the trap, and even added some chocolate cake mix and cornbread mix, with a pice of slim Jim in the middle. I had little lids for water for them to drink. When I tell you I researched these pesky creatures, I truly did…which is why it is imperative to add baking soda to anything you give them, and preferably water nearby for the simple fact that, rats can’t burb or fart. If the trap doesn’t kill them, the baking soda will, by imploding them from the inside and it is not poisonous. Luckily, I haven’t had to worry about that anyway, because the trap works great! After reading other people’s reviews, I did however tape the bottom of the trap with some heavy duty tape, because the rat does thrash around at first, and will try to walk away with the trap. I’m glad that it comes with 2 traps, because that little knucklehead in the photo with the face, broke one of mine, because he was caught by his tail, and spent the night chewing through the “catch” that holds the lever, which broke the trap for further use, but unfortunately for him, did absolutely nothing towards setting himself free. Even with the one trap left, that we don’t even bother to cover anymore, we are up to 12 rats, and counting… We haven’t even had to change the bait. If it’s been awhile, I will switch up the bait, such as adding popcorn, and I will catch a new one. Greatest investment ever!

Easy to bait and there are extra bait reservoirs for quick refilling. Does not work for small mice, but I did catch a big mouse. There is a hole to thread twine or wire through to secure the trap to a location. This prevents partially caught rodents from dragging the trap off. Easy to clean and set. Design discourages cats, dogs, and squirrels from getting hurt. If it were heavier, I would give it five stars. I doubt if it would last long outside.

Welp…. I put the trap out and less than 12 hours later…. My rat was exterminated. So why not 5 stars? Listen…. I’m all for exterminating pests/rodents and in this particular instance the rat was causing mayhem to my home structure. That said… the rat struggled and ran with its head in the clamp for a good minute before finally I presume bleeding out. This was far from an instant death. The dang thing definitely suffered and for that I can’t give it 5 stars. The clamp does not appear to be metal - it is a highly dense plastic. I don’t know. I think if I’m buying another trap I’m getting one with a much faster kill time.

These traps can catch mice as well as rats, but there is a glaring design flaw in them that needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. That flaw lies in the rear opening when the trap is in the disarmed/triggered position. While a rat is likely to successfully get caught (as long as it isn't a super athlete and sprints backwards in time to avoid the trap's "jaws"), a mouse is more likely to get *partially* caught and either have the opportunity to get out through the arming mechanism's gaping hole or remain alive such that when attempting to dislodge the mouse you put yourself in harms way wherein it may very well bite you out of fear. The mouse being entirely within the confines of the "jaws" occurred on both triggers of this trap so far. The first capture only pinned the mouse inside, but left it very much alive. So alive that I barely avoided getting bit and the moment it hit the ground it went running off faster than most cars drive around here. This may be the same mouse that triggered the trap the second time later in the day. The second trapping caught the mouse in such a way that it was pinned not between the "jaws", but between the wall that the jaws form and the spring mechanism itself. But in both cases the mouse's tail was dangling out of the arming mechanism and not out of one of the entry tubes. This constitutes a serious risk to the user and has the very high potential to allow the mouse to escape via the now open arming mechanism. The force necessary to squeeze that mechanism is both a boon and a curse. It's a boon in that the trap has very high compressive force if the mouse/rat is actually wedged in the jaws. It's a curse when the mouse/rat (more likely with mice though) is caught *inside* the three-walled jaws where only the spring mechanism itself provides any potential compressive force to crush it. What needs to happen is the trap needs to be redesigned such that when disarmed/triggered, there is no opening in that area for a rodent to escape or pose a contact risk for the user. A start to fixing some of the contact issue would be to give the trap a metal base with protrusions on the side so that a user can step on whichever protrusion is not occupied with a rodent's body with one foot and an arming slat that's got a handle to push down with instead of the small surface area you have to squeeze in the current trap. This has a better chance to keep your hands away from a frightened rodent if it's still alive and save you a potential trip to the ER in case of a bite (rodents are almost never carriers of rabies, but *do* transmit diseases). The amount of force you need to exert to squeeze this to the "open" position to dislodge a rodent is very high, meaning your hand will not have the dexterity it needs to move out of the way quickly as your grip is going to be iron tight when squeezing that arming slat down. An added safeguard would be to have "walls" or some sort of barrier to prevent a rodent from kicking/biting you as you squeeze that slat down. It really is a contact hazard waiting to happen. The build quality itself is fairly decent as is the ease of inserting the bait container, though a slight redesign of the bait container's cross bar used to twist it open and shut is in order - recessing the bar so you can grab it with your fingers while the bar itself is made flush with the cylinder would make keeping it in place on a table or other surface much easier. As it is, because the cross bar protrudes, the bait cylinder rests at an angle when the part of it that you put the bait in is facing upward. Due to the aforementioned issue with there being an opening in the leg of the T shape where the arming mechanism is, I recommend that users also purchase this trash picker to go with the trap and pick the trap up with the picker stradling the sides of the rear arming mechanism so as to avoid risk to hands until the rodent is verified to be deceased. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078RMCFWQ I had originally bought that picker for the smaller Victor mouse traps I also got, but this picker is just the right size to grab this trap by the sides of the arming mechanism somewhat firmly so long as you maintain a tight squeeze on the picker's trigger. Trust me, it's worth the few extra bucks to save your hands (and your lunch). As for why I'm only giving this two stars: the opening in the arming mechanism being an escape route coupled with the high pressure to arm the trap leaves users' hands vulnerable when trying to dislodge the rodent from the trap if it's caught inside the trap's jaw area. This constitutes a critical design flaw that needs to be rectified. Once a means is devised to keep the arming mechanism's rear closed when in the disarmed/triggered position this trap should easily merit a full five stars since its construction is fairly sturdy.
