I have one about that size from harbor freight. It needed some modifications to actually hold anything but it does work. And under $10.

2 Rats for me

Trapping your two nudist neighbors doesn't count...and we don't want pics of that

If Jake is trapping his nudist neighbors, there is nearly an endless supply.  Better get more traps.

I use old school wolf control methods...ie poison, at least out in my trapping shack (mini shop)...

I do have some sets up in the attic I should check though...this could be fun.

i have trapped plenty of feral rabbit.  Carrots work well as does a salt lick zip tied in the back of the trap

I meant Bearhunter's neighbors but clearing out the nude rats at o'l Lake Bronson wouldn't hurt...

The trap is 17 inches long and 6 inches tall/wide

It's the only thing I've found that'll catch wood rats.  I've used victor rat traps (all sprung, bait missing, no rat) I've tried the tomcat rat snap traps also (sprung, no rat) then finally these live traps and been catching them good.

I was surprised they were able to trip the tomcat and not get caught, buggers are super fast.

I just bought some more mouse and rat traps my neighbors have several bird feeders out For the mice and rats to enjoy! I usually sit out in the back when it's getting dark and pick the rodents off with my Gamo pellet gun it's pretty fun
