Stopped working after I caught 2 rats. Have problems resetting it and the trigger won't activate the trap anymore. Even pressing the trigger with a stick would not activate it. Going back to the good old finger catching wooden traps.

very simple deployment, and the bar slams flat when tripped so there's no way the rat is getting out. good engineering.
just a bait idea, (I tried rat bait to use and it did not work) I used fat drippings off of a smoked brisket, and it took one night before I got him.

Set 4 of these up (3 of which caught a rat the first night!). Along with an electronic shock one (which didn’t). Batting .750 with these M144 models. Buy these. They’re inexpensive and they actually work! Proof is in the pudding.

This trap can be set where the trigger flap is not sensitive enough so the rat can steal the bait in the cup without triggering the trap. I saw it serval time on my security camera.
One time trap!

I set the 2 units up with bait and put them outside to trap a rat issue I've been having. Both traps were sprung the next day but no rodents in them. Unfortunately, neither trap will reset anymore. One activation and the "hook" will no longer hold the trap open. I've caught my fingers in these traps more than once trying to get them to reset but to no avail. I can't believe these traps are a one and done type design, but they are. I'm beyond disappointed with these useless traps and I cannot return them to Lowes because I'm just over the 30 days.

Not very good for killing small to medium size rats. First trap went missing second trap I thought killed one till I went to pick it up. It did not stay in the trap but right beside it. It must have only stunned it.

I purchased 2 of the M144 traps but find that often, when the trigger pad is pressed, it does not trip the trap. Critters are eating the bait without getting caught. I see the pad on a downward incline but not tripping the trap. The victor wood traps are way better but I really like the features of the M144 being they were better to release and wouldn't rust like the wood ones.
Traps are hard to snap after two weeks of use.

I bought two traps to use to catch gophers. They worked OK for a couple of weeks. I caught three gophers and then I noticed that the bait was eaten but the traps were not snapped. When I went to rebait the traps, I tried snapping them with a stick and noticed that it took a lot of force to snap them. I am not happy with this purchase.

They work GREAT, ive been using traps for over 50 years, these traps are the best ones ive ever used. I bought a pair of them, and both of them catch a new rat rat, almost every night. I am in fact buying 2 more today.
