Would this work on toilets? Would it negotiate the trap?

No it doesn't. Just drain pipes and in some instances clogged pipes in your house.

It's small and flexible enough to get down there but since the jets face backwards dealing with the initial blow back might not be a pleasant experience.

It should be able to go through all the bends, as long as the diameter is more than 3 in.But, I am not sure if the water jet could produce strong enough spray since the head will submerse under the water.Other tools may be more suitable and cheaper

It should, I would camouflage the trap if possible because shrews are more timid. And know what the shrew eats- better your chances of out smarting it.

We have a round and oval toilet and it would not work. I think we could just never get the toilet to close. Cool idea but really did not work. I think it really did not stay on well either.

I agree with the others who have responded. You could make one of these work on a toilet in a pinch, but it would be annoying to have to bend down low and undo it every time. It also might not be possible to stick one of these Munchin Xtraguard locks to a toilet bowl or lid if the surface of the bowl or lid was curved/convex. I would recommend getting a specific toilet lock such as Safety 1st Swing Shut Toilet Lock: Safety 1st Swing Shut Toilet Lock

It would work, but a larger cleaning pad is probably preferable to cover the area more quickly.

This is meant for drainpipes. It could blow the seal on your toilet, or worse. I wouldn't try it.

I agree with Single Male, it should work if you have some way to install bolts to your floor to secure the toilet down tight. Otherwise the toilet will rock and leak.

Without seeing the toilet I can't be sure it will work; however, the plunger is cut smaller on the bottomSo it might. Its cheaper to invest in the plunger first before the auger is my opinion.

I think it can as long as you have enough clearance. Also, you will probably need some type of splash shield or guard. You might have a maintenance person cut the bottom of the bucket off. THis would create a discharge chute for all toileting activities and elimate potential splashes of bodily waste.

Probably, but why would you want to? The camper toilet waste disposal acts more like an outhouse - holding the waste with in a closed container. Our camper only has a direct opening to the tank which is opened when it "flushes" and then closed when it's done flushing. A household toilet has a water trap and is connected to a sewer line or a septic system - in either case the water trap prevents odors from coming back and the waste is removed to a remote area (sewer or septic system).

It's worth a shot to try, though it depends how clogged the toilet is and with what lol.

I used mine on the toilet and it did the job. It was a little difficult to snake the cleaner down the toilet. I had to do it by jiggling and twisting the cleaner as I fed it down the drain.

Yes it will work on a elongated toilet, the one we have is for elongated toilet. I think if you need one for a round toilet you need to order that type. It fits the elongated one well and it is secure, works great.

I've had it fit well and poorly on public toilets. I think it has more to do with what the surface of the toilet seat is ie porcelain or painted wood or plastic. Porcelain works the best, the suction cups don't do much for the painted wood and it can slide around. Elongated and round seem to both work fine!

Yes, as all siphons work as long as the out pouring tube (curly tube) is lower than the input tube (straight tube) gravity should make it work once you get the flow going. Put a 5 gallon bucket next to the toilet, keep and maintain the out pouring curly tube down at the bottom of the bucket. I would not want to do it with very dirty water, and then you have to clean out this little pump before storing back in the closet.

It seems like it would work with hanging it below the trap on the hook. The trap is great in stopping ants as long as you keep water in the cup/trap.

The toilet I used it on, was Crane. I would say if it is face mounted lever, like on the front of the tank, and not a strong curve to the tank, it should be fine. It's pretty generic. If the tank has a lot of curve or the handle is side mount, then it might give you pause. Good luck.
