KORO Rodent Trap w/Easy Set Latch

The trap is well consructed, poorly designed. The new trigger design is extremely difficult to set off. I have tried everything to sensitize the trigger but nothing seems to work. As the rodent steps on or pulls on the bait tray, the trigger locks even tighter. Stick with the conibears - you can get a handful of 110's for the price of just one of these bait stations.

This trap is to sensitive. I've had it gone off just by walking by it. It's also hard to tell if it's be accidentally sprung by looking at it. I recommend the orginal version and a setter.

If I had it to do over again I would have not purchased the easy set latch version, I would have gotten the regular version. The trap seems more powerful than a rat trap, so powerful that it is tough to set with one hand. I use both hands to hold the bar up while setting. Pros: my guess is that it is easier to set than the regular version because the bait pan contraption can be pushed into place while holding the bar up. The bait pan can conveniently hold a nut because it is somewhat level. Cons: the bait trap appears to be the flaw that prevents a kill. So far I have managed several springs of the trap with no squirrel and only one when the squirrel was caught, However, here is the potential flaw, because the bait pan can only swing, but not move down, it saved the squirrel. The bait pan supported the squirrels body so that it appeared not to receive the full force of the spring, and in less than a minute, the squirrel was able to free it self and run away. The pan can even swing enough during a strike that the pan can gen in the way of the strike bar even without the squirrel in the trap ( I saw a blue jay going for the nut from an angle that did not put the jay directly in the path of the bar). I realize that setting the regular version might be more dangerous or require the use of pliers to be safe while adjusting it's bait pan to be just right, but what matters is the kill. So, far this easy set latch version has not come through for me. I'll keep trying for a while. Wish I'd bought the regular version.

I bought this trap recently and said it was hard to spring. After playing around with it for awhile it is working better now . It is easier to set than the other rodent trap but both traps are good
