Most Effective Trap I Have Tried

This is the most effective trap I have tried. I have an early-generation flip trap, but this one has proven to be much more functional. The design and construction of this trap are far superior and I like the fact that there are no metal parts that can rust like standard snap traps. Another keen design feature is the pin to put the trap in "training mode" to make rats see the trap as a food source. I have been catching 2-3 rats each night and even caught 3 ground squirrels in the first week which I did not expect. Finally, the hood seems to keep birds out, so there is no risk of catching them on accident, and the coyotes and possums cannot run off with this trap like they do with snap traps. Overall a superior product.

Materials and quality are to notch, everything i had hoped for. Everything functions flawlessly. The design is very well worked out and executed. Now i need to put it to use and see if in practice it proves the theory. Hopefully this will eradicate the current day rat problem.

Awesome trap

I have tried many traps in the past but i truly believe that this is the best one that I have ever used. It was very easy to assemble. I followed the instructions, and I baited it for a couple of days and then activated it on the third day and caught a rat immediately. I am very happy with this purchase.

Finally a true rat plank trap.

So many of these plank units are designed for mice and don’t work on rats so well. I’ve got a high number of rats in an outdoor area I trap to keep the numbers down. I used the 30 dollar units but the plywood would warp and the pvc plank would warp and they were semi effective. The Vulcan on the other hand is pretty sturdy and just built for any environment. I can easily see this unit last 10 years outdoors.

Awesome Trap!!!

The Vulcan is well built and I love that it's constructed of strong plastic, so you don't have to worry about it rusting in the weather. Well done!
