@mackem Ive often wondered why the treadle/bait plate is different in the UK to USA?

I don't know mate, I never noticed to be honest, different manufacturers perhaps?The rats here are exactly the same as in UK so it's not species specific.

What Kills Rats Instantly? Things You Need to Consider!

As you probably know,.. there is, at the moment, an absolute profusion of traditional style Break Back Rat Traps on offer.

The Pest Control industry are continually trying to find, the perfect Rat Trap?

Most of the items on offer are made from Plastic, and they all appear to work reasonably well...?

Personally,.. I rate the Victor Break Back Trap above most others...

Perhaps, to the modern pester, these genuine old style traps appear to be a wee bit old fashioned...

Whatever,...they are great wee tools,...and far more versatile than one might suspect...?

Never used the Victor but do use the Nipper above any plastic trap. For bait I mainly use peanut butter, sometimes sprinkled with bird seed or a few grains, these stick to the peanut butter and the rat has to work a bit harder to get the bait so easily triggers the trap. Best bait is of course what they're feeding on , whether it's your bird/chicken food or fat balls from bird table.

If I have a tricky one I try the skins off smoked mackerel or the skin off the boiled bacon. The bacon skin I hang up out off their way for a few days then use it. Especially in cage traps

Not used the Pro Victors for years but I suspect I still have a few knocking about.

Been using the Romax, for what must be 15 or more years, these seem to be marketed under all sorts of names these days!

Anyway, what I find amazing is, the fundamental design of the rat/mouse breakback trap has not changed since it was invented about 125 years ago!!!!

There are so many rat and mouse trap inventions, that one guy bases a whole YouTube channel on them. Must be hundreds of different types of traps shown on his channel.

Over a hundred years of inventing ways to control them, and yet,  we never really got the better of these rodents.
