Can anyone advise on how this product compares to the Do-All Outdoors Raven Automatic Trap?

I do not know about that specific trap. But, my friend owns a Do All and has had problems with it. He said their customer service is BAD. They told him to just bend the arm. But, it that does not work, will they replace the trap with a bent arm? I have had no problems with my WheelyBird. Love it.

I can't tell you how it compares, but I will tell you this, ALL the screws were missing when we received the product; called the manufacturer, after Christmas - they're ALL, I do mean ALL on vacation, nothing can be shipped out. Didn't want to wait, bought screws locally...manufacturer refunded $5. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy it around the Christmas time frame, buy it WAY BEFORE, and make sure everything is included.

I just use the mole traps. Not the gopher ones. We have moles and mophers or thats what the locals call them. They are cuter than moles. But more destructive. It takes two traps per hole so one trap won't work.

I have tried both ways with not much difference. I got primarily for pantry moths and mosquitos the dogs let in the house through dog door. Seems to work well regardless.

Best thing to remember is that about a 10 foot circle around the trap will have a lot of bugs traveling in it. I have mine about 20 feet down a path into the woods from the house and it works great.

I'm using my detector at six hundred feet, with trees and bushes between house and detector. This alert system is marvelous. The batteries last more than six months. It has a bunch of features that I don't use but are prob to my advantage. My dog reacts on high alert whenever it goes off. The biggest disadvantage is false alarms, caused by birds, small animals, bushes moving, alien UFO's etc. I bought a second (different model, same company) driveway detector to show which alarms are real.

Donna, I have recently had great success with a product called the "Victor Fly Magnet." I have trapped and killed 100's, maybe even 1000's of flies with this thing. It's non poisonous. It worked so well for me that I purchased 2 more. It's made a huge difference on my deck.Victor M380 Fly Magnet 1-Quart Reusable Trap With Bait

This one may be the one you want,because it only will pick up large metal objects cars motorcycles .it is not a motion detector which I had one that drove me crazy ,with rabbits and other wildlife. Directions are a bit poor to say the least , so I had to call the manufacture and had no problem walking me through it.

I got both the larger gopher and smaller mole size traps. I have found that inserting the trap into the gopher tunnel, then opening the jaws works well. You will want to set the trap with a "hair trigger" anyway, so it's simpler to open the jaws once it's in place. Check out YouTube for people actually using the traps. These traps are used by pros who trap for a living on golf courses, vineyards, etc.It's a simple and very effective design. I usually get a kill with a day. Gophers are destructive but predictable.

Hey Jim - I purchased the Victor M792 but it didn't do a thing to deter the mouse problem we had. I also tried the peppermint oil trick that people posted, but that was a farce too - the mice ate the cotton balls we put in the vents! So, I have nothing to advise apart from old fashioned traps.

The version I bought and received is the large trap. But my cousin has the small trap, and they both do the job for gophers. The small one has the advantage of fitting into a smaller hole. These traps are really effective. I have killed at least 14 gophers with my two traps.

Grant I used the trap last year and was SHOCKED at how many 1000's of beetles were captured. My garden is 500 sq ft. I think that the efficacy of the trap has more to do with where the scent of the lure travels. If the wind was blowing away from the garden it attracted beetles from outside the garden. I would expect that if you used two traps to cover the two most prevalent winds you would get good results. I doubt that anything will keep the attractive plants bug free but any dead Japanese beetle is a good one. I don't know if the plants were helped but I felt much better emptying the trap into a large can of soapy water. ...BTW they stink when you dump out the drowned ones. Have fun!

This fly trap, used consistently, eliminates flies. Period. We BBQed tonight and had no flies. Live near horses and cows.

Yes! Absolutely!I set mine between the lawn and my woods, baited with peanut butter and birdseed. I read oatmeal works well, I have caught more with this trap than any other. I have 3 which is expensive but I am taking voles!

The newer detector has better sensitivity and range. It also seems to get less flas triggers. I have the newer one in my Jeep with the Hemi V8 under the hood, the older one is in the Camry with the 4 cyl. Engine. Both have saved my butt numerous times.

I have used this a couple of times but I discovered that plain old WD40 does a lot better job and is a lot cheaper. I started using wd about two weeks ago on myself and my dogs. I live in north Florida and believe me the flies and gnats are unreal here, I've started out of a morning with gnats all over me and sprayed a little wd on my hands, rubbed around ears and there gone. works 5 times as long as that stuff. hope this helps.

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

I've used the AT Pro since September 2013..I've used it on the beaches here in Oahu and found all kinds of stuff.(pull tabs, bottle caps, coins, nails, fishing hooks and weights etc.) It's pretty simple to use once you've viewed the dvd a couple of times. I have not found any gold rings yet, but I did find a Gold earring post. I've been reading and comparing detectors since owning the AT Pro and my opinion, the Garrett ATX sounds like a superior detector and it can be used in salt and fresh water. It also is excellent for nugget detecting. See Youtube Garrett ATX versus the Minelab 2000.... Garrett is 1/2 the price....well just watch and you be the judge.
