Has anyone on here used Mike Matney's or similar Floating rat traps and what are your thoughts on them?

I have a bunch of them and yes they work but you should spread carrots or apples around a week before hand to get them craving them

Mine are early model and have entrance doors. I have not yet seen hid trap without the entrance doors.
