Professional Rat Attractant 8 oz BELL-1055

...I don't want to give this product one star because maybe the rats in my area are the ones who deserve the poor rating. Maybe they're snobby, free range, organic rats but they just seem to walk right past this stuff and straight for the cat food. Some enjoy citrusy fruit and others like Nutella or even sharp cheddar but I have yet to see any roof rat around my yard touch this stuff. I have tried it several times for at least six months with quite a few rats (at least ten diferrent rats) and none were attracted. Nutella mixed with veggie oil to add viscosity is the most efficient attractant I have seen to date (good enough to draw a strong curiosity for at least a short while on even the smartest and slickest of them all). Maybe Provoke should add some Nutella to this stuff. Upon taking a quick whiff, one can't help but notice a strong fruity and chocolaty aroma/essence which makes me wonder: Stop using that cheap chocolate sauce. I hope this review is helpful to EVERYONE. I also want to add that I'm not trying to knock on this product, I'm sure it's got its use, but it just hasn't worked for me at all.

This worked great, I started seeing my cacti and agave eaten and dragged so I knew there was something starting to nest someplace. Well that someplace was under my air conditioning unit they were tunneling underneath and through the gravel. And one night I actually saw one crawling by the block wall. So I purchased this along with the Protecta Boxes and the T-Rex traps. I put it up against the block wall near the air conditioner, and another on the far side of the yard. Day one caught a big rat in the trap near the air conditioner. Day 2 caught one on the opposite end of the yard. Day 4 caught another by the air conditioner. There has been a lot of construction near me and a lot of vacant land also close by so they are very active at night, I started seeing them again and have baited the traps again. To dispose of them I use some gloves with a plastic bag open the T-Rex and drop the rat or mouse in the bag and dump.

I was using peanut butter and the T-rex traps with little success so I got fed up and called a pest control company. They came out and recommended Provoke as they had seen success with it in my area. They added Provoke to my traps and within two days I caught 3 rats and the trap was set off 2 more times with the rats narrowly escaping. I had also purchased a trap that zaps the rats. It hadn't worked at all, but placing Provoke in the trap resulted in a rat being trapped within 24 hours.One thing that was also recommended is to place the traps along the walls as that is the rat's natural path. For the snap trap, I have found best results by having the trap snap toward the wall.

This does not seem to work yet. Will update if progress.

Read the description carefully as this works with some rat types and not very well with others. The tree rats in my neighborhood love this stuff and it's bumped up my success rate with traps by 100%. Best used with the plastic traps that have a small reservoir you can fill while the trap is not set. Trust me when I say you don't want to be applying this to a trap that is set already. Like any food or attractant they do become inured to it so mix it up with other baits if you have a big population. I've also noticed that it works best fresh so don't expect it to pull rats to your trap as well on day two or beyond. Freshen it up! Running hot water over the trap dislodges the "puck" that remains when it dries out ... painlessly. So this is a bona fide great product ... for certain rats and people that can read and follow instructions.

So far it hasn't caught anything but my dogs Kong filler peanut butter and bacon has

Easy to bait rat traps

I've had this stuff now for 3 weeks and I have yet to catch a rat. I think this stuff sucks anf I think the 4 and 5 stars reviews might be fake reviews.Before setting any traps, for a week I just put this stuff in the area the rats were walking in to get them to feed on it.So far the camera in my attic shows me what the rats are doing. What the rats do is walk by it, snif it and leave it alone. Not one has ate it, in the trap and not in the trap.If I had to decide to purchase it again, I'd rather save my money and just buy some peanut butter, and grapes, works better at catching roof rats.The reason for 2 stars, because I can reuse the container and fill it with peanut butter.
