At what distance is this trap recommended for?

The trap works perfectly as designed. If your dealing with a beginner learning to shoot a twenty two pistol or rifle, 7 yards would be good.A more experienced shooter, depending on skill level, might place it 25-50 yards away.

I believe the "recommended" distance for .22LR is the standard indoor target range distance of 50 feet. I use it regularly at that distance, but have also shot special frangible 9mm pistol ammo at much closer range with no problems.

Hi The weather got too cold for us to try it out. I think the distance would pertain to your shooting abilities. We will not have it any closer than 25 yards. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

I have this trap set up in my pole barn at 30 foot. I use my pellet rifle most of the time to perfect my shooting skills, but could also use my 22 cal rifles. When my granddaughter wants to shoot, I move it outside at 50 yards and use different targets.

I did not test for distance, but I would estimate it to be up to 25 feet.THE BIG PLUS for this device is that it eliminated false actuations from blowing shrubbery etc.

Doubtful, you would have to be very close, have it not be a very big rat, and hit it just right. Plus, I think the instructions say not to aim at any animals, so.....

Check to see if here is anything too close to sensor Keep everything about a foot away

I think they consider 4 feet away to be ideal. You should also note the detector will only work on panel doors (you mount it on the top panel) and not solid one piece doors the swing upwards or carriage style.

The traps are about 8-10 inches long and 2.5 inches or so in diameter. They work great for me!

If the bugs are small enough. The catching container trap is about 1" dia. by 2" long.

I think voles will be to small for this trap. It would work for gophers, if they have a run close to the top of the ground like moles do. It has killed instantly 100% of the time for me. If the jaws catch the rodent he's done.

I have one setup inside a live catch mouse trap, which flashes a light in the kitchen, to let me know I have someone who needs to go back outside. Depending on the size though I would say you're looking at a max range of 5 feet.

Will deter your species of wasp depending on their sense of what constitutes a "neighborhood" -- in general, about 100-200 feet depending not he species.

This trap worked for awhile, but the larger one took some slight damage and ultimately would not set. It will take some needle nose pliers, I used 90° needle nose pliers to bend it to where it would work. This trap (larger one) is a good trap - until it gets banged up.

Try hanging it in a slightly different place, fifty feet or so away if you can. I have had mine hanging in different locations along the length of a fence between my house and a horse, ahem, "rescue" operation that never cleans the tiny pasture. The effectiveness of the traps has varied widely by location along the fence. Once I found the hot spots, that's where they have stayed.

I have not had very good luck with the range or the sensitivty of this device. I bought two of them and one does seem to have a little better sensitivity then the other but neither are great. For the price, I have simply installed them at about seven feet high and point them in the direction that I want covered. I hope that just the site of them is a deterent to an intruder. Mine are installed outside of my house but they may work better installed inside.

just keep it in the middleand not that far away maybe 10 feetif you are really worried you can use a laser bore sighter

It is large enough to trap a grey squirrel, I found that there is not enough room in back of trap for much bait. The trigger is to close to rear of trap.

I used two for half acre, one on each side of my house. Not sure how much area one trap can cover.

It's a great trap! I used a 5 gallon bucket, put the trap at the bottom and opened the lid. Most of the time the mouse would hide in door part but after a little while would jump out. I'd quickly remove the trap. Be super careful, those little guys can jump like you wouldn't believe. I'm fortunate enough to have an open field behind my house. Take them at least 100 yards away so they won't find their way back. Also do a review of the outside of your house, any holes should be filled with insulation foam. If you have a cat, clip a little fur and put it in small cracks for good measure. Best of luck! It's a great trap! I used a 5 gallon bucket, put the trap at the bottom and opened the lid.
