I purchased this product out of shear frustration after having tried just about every humane mouse trap on the market and having miserable results.

I took to YouTube to look for mouse trap reviews and found a few videos featuring the Automatic Trap. I was impressed with the videos so I went to the company's website.

I was admittedly pretty shocked by the price, but I was desperate. We had at least one mouse that was getting into food, clothing, etc. that we just couldn't seem to get rid of.

Product came in the mail and we set it up. It attracted and killed 2 mice (right in a row) HOURS after installing.

WORTH. EVERY. PENNY! Our house is now mouse free and I feel confident that we will never have a mouse problem again!

I love my A24!

I love my A24! I have rats coming from my neighbors backyard. They are going into my chicken coop and eating the chicken feed. Plus eating my tomatoes in my garden box. I felt hopeless, nothing off the shelf at the store was working. I was looking on YouTube for help and came across A24, I saw how great it worked. I thought this is my last hope. I was pleasantly surprised how great it worked. It is worth the money. I am so satisfied with my Purchase. I highly recommend this product.

Just recieved this killing machine the other day. First night in my barn style shop I got 3 mice! So far very impressed. So handy that it resets its self. My only question is how it performs in cold, gets about -20C here sometimes.

Wow thanks, Sebastian,

happy to hear you're having success with the A24. We would love it if you would share your trapping journey on social media using #A24Success. We want to hear more about your setup and how you positioned it in your barn. In terms of weather performance, the trap has been tested and in extreme weather, but I can reach out to the team to get the exact temperatures and update this once I get an answer. You will want to monitor the bait in the extreme cold, but the trap should operate. If you have any further questions we would be happy to connect with you via email at support@automatictrap.com.

Edit - The A24 Rat and Mouse Goodnature Trap can handle cold sub-zero temperatures. Our traps are designed to remain operational down to -4°F (-20°C) but not lower as this can damage both the plastic and seals. Nothing will rust inside the Trap.

However, there are three things to keep in mind:

1. The plastic becomes more sensitive in cold temperatures, so do not test-fire the trap unnecessarily and certainly not with any hard object
2. The bait freezes so it may be worth trying some alternative (local) bait that may work better in the temperatures you describe. But existing bait should work, so you can start with it. At sub-zero temperatures - best to use a basket or static lure.
3. You might also find that in those temperatures, rats and mice move indoors as the weather freezes so it might be best to move the traps inside.

Kills Rats like crazy but squirrels..

Kills Rats like crazy. Squirrels won't go near it. I live in a fairly nice residential area. Had rat problem around the house but no more. The bait that came with it didn't work so we made a bird seed peanut butter paste ball wrapped in Saran Wrap and placed in the bait holder. Worked like a charm.
Squirrels won't go near it though. Guess they don't like to squeeze there heads into small spaces. Originally bought it for squirrels because they ravage the fruit trees.
Pretty impressed with the rat destroying capabilities though. Sits on permanent guard outside my house.

Everything we hoped for and more!

My mother-in-law told me she had a mouse problem. I got the A24 for them and it got rid of at least 4 mice in less than a week, and at the end of the week, my father-in-law found a dead rat at the bottom of the trap. They had no idea they had rats, but now they have the A24 up permanently on their property and plan to put it in their car (using the additional portable stand) come winter as they've had mice chew the vegatable oil-coated wiring in previous years. All the YouTube reviews are not exaggerations... the A24 is a rat and mouse-killing machine!

RAT KILLING MACHINE>> DOES NOT WORK AS STATED

I am changing my rating from 1 to 4. its not because all of a sudden the item work for me. But because this company stands behind its products. I bought the product gave it a try and it did not work for me. It might had been the rats were no interested in the item or that there is a lot of food around for them and the chocolate lure was not getting there attention. Regardless the reason. the company refunded me . It might work for others. I felt confident to buy a product from this company knowing they stand behind their product or money back guarantee,.

Frustration gone

I’ve tried the rest from a spring trap to the shocker and I came to realize I was just feeding them wonderful treats to get them in the traps. Time to try something more serious. This trap was a little out of my normal budget, but man did it work. Not just once but over and over. Honestly I have to say I was shocked how quickly the problem was gone. If your really wanting results, then invest in this product. You’d spend more on one date.
Thanks for a quality product that works season after season.

Nothing else worked at first I was leery but once I set it up left a small yummy sample underneath the gadget it successfully caught the rat took him out before He knew what was up about half-hour later a hawk collected him just like the video said they would. No poision, no Hassel dealing with his little body he was gone & so was my sleepless nights. Sure it was pricy but worth every penny & no more buying things that don't work or the rat runs away holding the trap this works so good it makes Me think New Zealanders are right smart people thank You so much for the sleep I get now CHEERS

Best rodent trap I have ever used in 20 years of rodent issues. Excellent results with gray squirrels, red squirrels, and chipmunks.
It self resets and allows no more use of worrisome poisons for pets, kids etc.

Automatic Trap (A24) - The Squirrel Killer

I've had a A24 for several months and LOVE IT!

The squirrels in our yard chewed through 4 trash can lids, my sons plastic sandbox lid, 2 holes in my trampoline netting, holes in the roof to access the attic, a wicker chair on the deck, and many tree branches with clumps of live leaves on them.

My wife and I've been worried that they will gnaw the plastic railing on our deck.

I've watched YouTube videos on how to dispatch them, and that's where I came across the A24. I've tried Rat traps, peanut butter laced with Rat poison, poisonous smoke bombs and NOTHING worked.

To date, I've killed 4 squirrels and 1 field mouse before they got to the house, the deck railing or anything else of value.

The squirrels even gnawed through the bait cap on the A24 to bypass the trap.

That's where Linda Rithvixay and her team with Automatic Trap (A24) come in!
She sent me 2 new bait caps in case they gnaw through the bait cap again.
Excellent customer service and I highly recommend this trap.

Thank you!

After 10 years of trying poisons

After 10 years of trying poisons, snap traps, glue strips, contracting for pest control services and other methods to attempt to mitigate the ongoing mouse issues at my cabin up north, I have to say the A24 Goodnature mouse trap is by far the best and most effective trap I have used. I have tested it indoors and outdoors, over a period now of eight months, in temperatures as cold as -37 degrees Celsius and it continues to work consistently. Because of the success at the cabin, I also tested it at my home in the city in the backyard deck and barbecue area and it also worked effectively. It is the best mouse trap I have ever used. I have since thrown out and removed all other traps and cancelled my pest control service. I have not heard or seen any mice since shortly after installing the trap 8 months ago. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the product.
