The twin home experts have been rodent catchers and rodent stoppers for over a decade! We recently read Bob Vila’s 2023 rat trap picks and sorry to say but Bob Vila needs to stick to home repairs and home tips! The 2023 Bob Vila BEST rat traps were way off and not even close to being the best traps, we actually considered those to be the WORST rat traps.
Here is just an example of WHY Bob Vila’s BEST rat trap is absolutely the worst
@twinhomeexperts Which victor rat trap should you choose? Here are the results most people don’t know! #pestcontrol #homeowners #productreview ♬ original sound – BookCity.Travel
We know this because we have been studying the behavior of both the rat and mice through hundreds of job sites setting up wi-fi cameras to monitor in real-time the behavior of rats inside attics, crawl spaces, basements, kitchens, walls, ceilings, and inside your house and outside your house. We were determined because we had seen hundreds of rat traps set by homeowners, pest controllers, and even us and snap traps being flipped over, rats taking the bait, rats taking off with the traps, and rat traps not even being deployed.
What we discovered through countless real-life jobs, monitoring for over 2 years, and trying different things to master the art of rodent catching that Bob Vila doesn’t even come close to knowing, now we’re not here trying to bash Bob Vila, he has done a great job in building a loyal audience due to his home skill sets, but not on social media when it comes to rodent control, the twin home experts has the largest audience on social media when it comes to solving residential rodent problems, especially where other professionals can’t solve!

Now, we want to be SUPER clear before ANY rat traps are set and activated, especially if you’re trying to catch rats inside your house, attic crawl space, and inside your walls, the MOST effective rat trapping is finding their entry points and sealing them off, then remove all food sources outs of the site! This is when rat trapping Magic begins…… now let’s get to the BEST 2023 rat traps, some you have never seen before!
GLUE BOARDS
Now, we do agree with Bob Vila 100 percent on one trap he mentioned and that is if you’re going to use glue boards the catch master product is by far the best! Please keep in mind, We rarely use glue boards for rats, unless it’s a mouse infestation. Glue boards for rats can be best used in tight areas where you know rats only have one way out, but again this is a very rare situation.
If you are going to use glue boards here are some tips on how to place them …….

BEST wall and ceiling RAT TRAP!
How do I get rid of rats in my walls is something we get asked all the time.
So, the twins created the world’s first and only RAT VAC! That’s right it’s a rat trap that get hooked up to a shop vacuum and when the rat walks into the pipe trap, it activates the rat Vac and sucks them into the shop vac. You can drown them in our enzyme or you can catch & release them into the wild.
Here is a video of a real case study:

BEST Rat traps for your attic or crawl space rats!
It’s very challenging to set & secure a rat trap in the attic or crawl space. We have witnessed hundreds of rats take the trap, traps flipping over, and the challenge of rats taking the bait without getting caught.
The twins developed a very easy way to set a trap in the attic without the extra time, frustration, and fear of losing rats.
Here is the BEST attic or crawl space rat trap:

The ultimate & most effective rat trap is going to be what the twins created. Even though we like wooden snap traps off the shelf, we were still losing rats, rats coming from the side, stealing bait from the top.
So we did this……

Making these simple changes to this wooden snap trap will MAKE a huge difference in catching rats, it increased our catching rate by a whopping 45 percent.
So you can see the BIG difference between what a professional rat catcher offers you vs Bob Vila who doesn’t really know what it takes to catch rats.
We hoped this gave you some real insight into different ways and scenarios to catch rats, especially those smart rats.
