PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Heavy gauge plastic trap strong enough to kill small rodents like rats, chipmunks, squirrels, voles and even snakes (in general we don’t advocate killing snakes but we have had customers use these for venomous species like copperheads). Each trap features a built in “bait cup” and is super easy to set. The protective cover shelters the trap from the rain allowing for discreet placements around the home both inside and outside where rodents are known to travel.
Each trap measures 9″ long by 4″ tall by 3″ wide.
WHERE TO USE IT: Along foundation walls, under decks, in crawl spaces, attics, along baseboards, garages and alongside tunnels or burrows ground dwelling animals are using.
RATE OF APPLICATION: Place traps every 10-20 feet along known As many as needed. It is not unusual to install 10-12 traps where rodents, snakes or lizards are active.
SUPPORTING VIDEO:
HOW TO SET UP: The snap trap inside the trap cover can be removed but in general, its best to leave it mounted to the cover base.
To gain access to the trap for baiting and animal removal, firmly pull on the back tab located on the back bottom edge of the cover. The tab is clearly marked on the trap cover here:
Once the trap cover releases, you can flip it up as it is hinged to the base.
Place some PECAN PASTE, LOGANBERRY or SNAKE LURE in the holding cup of the trap just inside the trip paddle. This cup can be seen in the middle of the picture above. Order buttons for these are below and if you’re targeting a vole, chipmunk or some other small animal they’ll be required.
**BE SURE TO SCATTER MIXED SEED ON THE PASTE AND SOME TO EITHER SIDE SO THE TARGET ANIMAL WILL BE LURED TO PUSH THE PAN DOWN**
Next close the trap cover securely (you’ll hear it snap into place) and set the trap by pulling down on the setting lever. This will require a firm pull “down” and once its pulled down enough, the trap jaw will lock into place and you’ll see a red label show that reads “TRAP SET WHEN UP“.

TRAP SET ALONG FOUNDATION WALL
Linda Allen says
Awesome! We have had a chipmunk problem for many years eating all flowers that we plant. We have tried everything and the Covered Rodent Kill Trap is the only successful thing that we have tried! So far in a months time we have caught 18 chipmunks, 4 mice, 2 squirrels, 3 birds and a skunk carried one off. We think it probably caught a paw in it. We have had luck putting sunflower seeds in the traps which the birds can eat sometimes without tripping the trap.
Debra Collins says
Best chipmunk trap ever! We started out with a live trap that allowed them to get out to bite and scratch us all up when trying to catch and kill. Found these and they do the work for you of killing it so you just dispose of it. We caught 25 animals in less than 3 weeks with only 3 traps set around our house. They are amazing!
Annette Cramer says
I’ve used this trap for about 2 weeks now and caught 7 chipmunks. It’s just a snap trap like your basic mouse trap, but much easier to set. Seems like the little chippers just are not as wary as mice. They just keep going in. I use peanuts for bait. Very glad i bought it.
Barry says
Traps that performs! Arizona: packrats and chipmunks that were eating the new sprouts in our raised beds. Used the pecan paste and within three days we reduced the invasive population of rodents. In this region, the animals will easily return from less than ten miles away (excellent sense of smell, among other things). Very effective, easy to open, set, clean, reset.

Well Designed. I like the way this trap is built, it is easy to load/set and empty. It seems like it should last a long time. I use it in combination with Pecan surprise.
Michael Benati says
Works well. Traps are well made and seem to work fine. I have 3 that have been in use for a couple weeks and just bought 3 more. I have caught 8 chipmunks so far (was hoping for more). One issue I have is that half of those trapped entered the trap from the rear thus not resulting in a clean kill. It caught them but we had to eliminate them by other means.
