Supplier was out of the wood base rat snap. I ended up with a plastic rat snap. Anybody have any experience with them? I like the built in teeth, the bendy flexible pan looks bad. It didn’t seem to be tuneable.

Job is done. Customer hasn’t heard any noise for a week. Had 2 of them fire off without a body to collect. Not sure if they fired off due to a rat or on their own. The catch for the bail seems too secure to self fire, but who knows… I’m not sure how a rat would have been able to pull out with the teeth on the trap. I can only assume that it got into some of the packs of rodenticide I put up on the sill plate to entice it. Maybe the anticoagulant was helped along by a glancing blow to the head from the trap.

Norway rats im guessing

Yes. It came up from the sewer.
