I have one set up in my banty coop (which had rats in it) and it never did anything. I tried putting different treats in it to lure the rats, tried to cameflouge it to trick them, left it in there without batteries so they wouldn't be afraid of it and got used to it. Nothing worked. And neither did the unit.

I used one and had very good luck with it. It's all about where you place them. If you place them in a rodent pathway then you will catch more critters than you can shake a stick at. The only problem with the one I had was that it ATE batteries. I couldn't keep it in fresh batteries enough to keep it working. Seriously, I had to change out the batteries every couple days. It was nuts!

So, yes, they work. You need to buy like a pallet of batteries with them. And you need to make sure they are in the right location.

Good luck.
