Will this work for large Norway Rats?

I doubt it. it's not large enough to accommodate the Norway rat I don't think. If there is a larger model, the technology definitely works, but the rodent has to be able to go into the unit about 5" to be killed. This one will handle a fair size field mouse, (about 6" body, not counting the tail) but larger rodents would probably not go inside far enough.

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!

I don't know the difference between a Norway Rat and any other rat. I can say this though, if the rat is really big, he might live long enough to make it out of the trap, but the shock might still him. I had one of these really big monster rats get zapped by my Victor and the rat was dead about a foot outside of the trap. Apparently, it was the rats last dying thrust that gave him enough momentum to escape; but he sucked up too many volts and died anyway.

It's bigger than it looks and rats could fit through the wires if they squeezed through. I wouldn't reccomend it for that small of a pet

I have the us 16.0 size Rodent Terminator. It measures 12" long 5" high and 4" wide, approximately. The opening is about 3x3". Its plenty big enough to kill a good sized rat. I used it for chipmunks and it has worked perfectly. I killed 12 of them and I haven't seen one around my yard in weeks. If you are trying to kill rats and have seen some really big ones, maybe you should get the large size. Otherwise the 16.0 should be fine.

I do not have a rat issue. My problem is with field mice in the winter. The device has had limited success with the mice so my thought would be that it would not work with rats. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.

It is very small for a rat. I bought this for my syrian hamster, and its almost to small for him. Rats need multi level cages. The bigger the better for them.

Yes, I do. It's the perfect size for my 3 pound bunny, and I can't imagine a rat would get any bigger than that!

Yes, Pest Pro Mouse Glue Boards will work for Rats as well, but I can't tell about the big rats; we caught not bigger than three inches long ones.

I would think so, but I do not know what the space needs are for rats. We are using it for a hamster, but it's actually a rat cage.

These are horrible for the moles and gophers so I doubt they will work for your rodent. Look for the ones I used a couple years ago, though I don't remember the brand. They are not as big, but vibrate the ground. This item stinks.

No. No. It is way too small for that. It is a great carrier and temporary safe place to keep the rat while cleaning it's habitat. Hope this helps.

I think it would depend on how big your rats our. My female rat is still a baby but she Is the only one in the cage. But yes it should be fine for 2 rats

Hello, I only had mice so I would not know if it would work on rats. The individual packages hold enough poison to kill a rat. This is very good stuff from what I saw.

it's not big enough - there are other larger models - similar in function - big enough for rats and chipmonks. i would avoid "victor". good luck with your online quest. dr. s

I don't know but suspect it will work on all small rodents. It sure kills rats and mice.

Yes, absolutely. It is heavy enough that they could crawl all over it and it would not move an inch. The legs of the stand have rubber its so it doesn't slip around and the bowels in themselves are stoneware so very think and heavy. Never thought about rats before, it would be really cute!

I believe this size trap is too big for mice. They either dont trip the bar or they slip through the mesh. Mine traps chipmunks successfully so I image it would trap like-sized rats.

It depends how big she is. I can fit two fingers vertically in the spacing of the bars. If your rat is tiny, I would say no. You know how easily they can get out of stuff to begin with :)
