The bigger one (I have used this to catch baby rats) is Havahart 0745 Live Animal Professional Style One-Door Chimpunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel Trap. It works great!

Seems to work OK...I keep mine under cover so it does not get Wet... Don't know about HIGH HEAT. Rats are more Weary about NEW things... Mine catches Mice fine... But still waiting for a Rat.... I have tried Peanut Butter and Dog Food... Thinking about Bacon....Of course I also have to Contend with Ants going for the Bait also on Any NON_WINTER time. Not fun!

I honestly don't know about rats but why not give it a try? It's not that expensive. I heard it gives off a high pitch tone that bothers their ears. Good luck!

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.

I've had newborn rats in it until they were full grown, only the very tiny runt could slip through the bars. Any grown rat or even a two month old rat would be fine in here. I wouldn't recomend for large rats. I kept my small female in here.

I bought it for sugar gliders, but the spacing was too wide. Bigger rodents would be fine like a ferret or chinchilla.

My best guess is NO. The opening and "maze" through which the mice go is way too small for even a small size rat... It has been wonderful for getting rid of mice problems though!

NO, I think it is for groundhogs specifically and it worked beautifully on my two properties. Look at this companies other products to deter rats. Personally I think you must contact a reputable rodent specialist. You have got to be aggressive and use the best traps and bait. Good luck and get this handled as soon as possible. They can breed out of control an destroy wiring and spread disease. Yucko.

I bought mine for my rats and on my bigger rat, it was too small but for my smaller rat it was too big. So for a hamster I would see if they have an extra small

If a Norway Rat is as big as what we call a Wharf Rat (12" +), it most likely will not work. But for regular sewer rats (6" to 8" not including tail) it works great. Just got rid of one!

Don't know about rats, but I bought 2 and after a brief time both stopped working altogether . Even when they were working they never deterred dogs ( what I bought it for). Don't waste your money, in my opinion. Good luck.

I'm genuinely not sure, I've never had one before. From seeing my friends' rats I think they might be too big, but it's hard to tell cause they can get through some pretty tight places.

No. I bought two things of shake away because of rats and it did absolutely nothing except smell like pee. I hear it works for others. But definitely did not work for my rat problem.

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

If your rats were large, it shouldn't be a problem, but the spacing of the bars is a little too big for little patties!
