Does this work on rats?

I would think that it would work on rats also. I have not had any rats (I don't think) just mice, shrews and ants.

It will work for rats, I had this when I had rats and they would drag it around their mansion :) and chew on uIt. It will last them a long time.

When I received this product it was smaller than tiny. Pet rats are pretty smart. I believe that they would figure a way out pretty quickly. I would not recommend this product for any animal. Only maybe for a small hermit crab. Good luck to you and your pet rats if you buy this!!

I had a rat in my kitchen, I got 2 of these PestVacators and thought they worked, but I saw the rat again. He was stealing things off the counter and taking them somewhere every night. I bought the box that shocks them and it killed it the first day.

Hi Joy, I don't see Rats listed in the product guidelines. Sorry. I live in the hills in Los Angeles and rats are a big problem here. Primarily Roof Rats. We were invaded about 6 years ago with the rats occupying an attic space above the kitchen. I freaked and then called a pest control company here called Corky's. They set multiple traps around the outside of the house after inspecting. When the rats left the attic ( via a hole behind the stove) and went out searching for food, the Cocky's bait stations designed for rats were waiting. You have to poison the rats, but no domestic pet can get inside the containers. Within a couple of weeks the rats were gone, but we have continued the service to keep them out of the house, as rats are everywhere in the hills and the city and it's worked. The Yard Sentinel ( 3 set at keys sight line points ) continues to do the job on the Raccoons, a wild animal far more dangerous to your health than even rats. Question: You said your rats are ALMOST 2 lbs. How did you conclude that, did they just hop up on the bathroom scale for you or is it one of those exercises, weight yourself, grab the rat by the tail and then weigh yourself again? I know it's not funny, but couldn't resist. Hope my feedback is of some help. Bill

No. A mouse would like this, but it is too small for a rat. I've had rats as pets; even a young rat would not find this suitable.

Ferrets are more destructive than rats, this will absolutely work for rats. Fleece is great for any rodents/weasels etc because they don't eat it, and it fits tightly enough so they treat it as the ground rather than a material to burrow i between.

I don't know if it works on birds...it did NOT work for mice or ants. I would try a more proven method.

I assume that it will work on rats as well as the mice and squirrels that it's worked on in my attic.

Yes, this works for Rats, according to our previous experience, but we caughtsmall Rats only ( not longer than 4 inches )

Not sure. We live in an old house. I have seen a small mouse slip in and out of the bars. Rats maybe big enough to not do that.

This works good. the rats/mice eat the bait until all gone. the metal pegs stay in place. Just keep adding bait or check once every seven days to see how fast there eating the bait. They will eat a lot the first month and slow down once they start dyeing.

No, because the trap must be emptied and reset after each kill. Also cleaned from time to time. Still a better design than a snap trap in my opinion. The rats are so smart you might consider Victor's advice to move the trap around often.

Yes it will, funny that you ask, cause I killed two rats with it at close range.

This bait goes inside a pet proof rat bait container. I would think the bait is aimed at rats which have a different diet than voles. So no, I don't think it is a good uses for the product..

It should work. Apparently, all rodents have a problem with essential oil of mint, and that is the key ingredient.
