MY 11 Dollars trap killed all summer and GoodNature NONE NONE, just don t belive everything you see on the web

We leave our 5th wheel camper on site year round. Mice have always been a problem. We tried a thousand dryer sheets which didn’t work at all. We tried the low odor moth balls. Apparently the odor is what keeps the mice at bay cause that didn’t work either. I bought this automatic trap and set it up in the cargo hold where there has always been the most activity. I didn’t use any of the lures, just the bait that goes in the top of the trap. It took a few weeks to establish our first kill. This was the fall of 2022. After the first one it seemed we had established a trail right to the trap. Over the winter we killed 6 mice and last week we discovered we had killed a red squirrel. I can’t imagine the damage that could have caused. We bought the one with the counter and we are 7 for 7 at this point. Very happy with this setup.

I bought the A24 trap in Nov 2020. I saw it in action on a YouTube video and I liked the idea of a repeating trap. Using the supplied bait I did not have much success but after switching to peanut butter and sunflower seeds I started to have more success. Over 2 years I got 20 confirmed kills with this trap and used only 2 cartridges. Recently it broke meaning each kill cost me about $10. I think it broke when a larger animal knocked it off the base and made it dry fire a few times. When I found the trap it was intact but when I checked to see if it had CO2 left, it tore itself in half. I found that the plunger had split in two so when it triggered it wasn't stopped by the spring and broke out the lower housing. I understand that things can break when not used properly (thanks skunk or badger). What is not OK is that I cannot get parts to fix it and Goodnature will not repair it (they offered a 20% discount). All I need is some plastic (lower shroud and plunger) but instead of letting me buy maybe $20 in plastic they want me to spend $160 to replace something that is less than a year out of warranty.

According to my video camera, mice love being around this trap, but none actually go in. Nope, they just dance around it and go about their merry way while this overpriced patio ornament sits there doing nothing.So for that price, I figured I'd return it, right? Wrong. Because there's a little canister of CO2 in the kit, the whole thing is nonreturnable. Most of us know not to ship something like CO2 and would not include it in the return package. Of course, the very basic idea of NOT putting the little CO2 canister in the return box does not seem to be a viable option to whoever decides these things. So don't buy it. It doesn't work and you're stuck with it forever.Update: So, it has been over a year, and this trap has caught exactly one mouse. I think he may have wandered in there by accident thinking it was the loo while all the other mousies kept on partying outside.

Had a big rat downstairs and wanted to get rid of it, but didn’t want the poor guy to suffer. Within two days of setting up this trap, the rat was dead. It worked wonderfully.I then set up the trap in the attic, as there was always scampering around in there (right adjacent to my bedroom). One night, I was just about to go to sleep when I heard a SNAP, then some stumbling around and what sounded like repeated, soft knocking on the wall. I checked the trap in the morning, and a much smaller rat (maybe the kid of the first) was about a foot and a half away from the trap, with a trail of blood behind it and half its face ripped off.I spent a lot more money than I wanted to, because I really wanted something quick and painless. This thing is 1 for 2 on that score. The second event was exactly what I’d hoped to avoid. The rat suffered for a good minute and a half before it succumbed to blood loss, head trauma, or whatever happened.Two stars because it did the job I wanted it to do. If you don’t care about suffering, this sucker will probably clean your house of rats in short order. I hear more scratching up in the ceiling tonight. Hopefully when it’s his turn, the trap will be merciful.Also, why is there a ranking for “flavor”? Weird.UPDATE: Had to bring this baby back out this year to get rid of this year's uninvited resident. Took a few days and some baiting (the "chocolate" flavor does not lure them as well as the original). Finally got him last night, and I can confim this thing is not humane at all. And I got the whole thing on film (I set motion cameras to see where the little buggers were coming from). Of course I only get like 10 seconds of footage every minute or two. After the "kill", he was convulsing for a while inside the trap, and knocked over the camera. Found him about a foot away from the trap (leaving a bright red trail of blood behind him) until he finally died. The trap basically crushed his nose and he bled out. Not sure how long that took as he knocked over the camera in his death throes.In the words of Thanos, "should have gone for the head".
