2.5" Round Body Grip Trap (RBG)

It did not come with ANY instructions, so I had to figure it out myself. I set it at the chipmunk hole with a couple small stones on the spring to hold it in place. It was the perfect size for the hole. Shortly afterwards it caught and killed the animal. Wonderful trap! I wore thick work gloves when setting the trap to protect my fingers.

I ordered a couple of these traps to simplify my chipmunk trapping. I had previously used Safeguard box traps which work great but require a bucket of water to drown the captives. The body trap is easier, faster and neater and most kills are rapid. Do remember to stake down or staple the trap to an anchor, stump or log. I got lazy and lost one this summer when some critter absconded with a free chipmunk meal and my trap in the middle of the night. I have found that the trap works very well inside a box cubby with a small container of sunflower seed bait positioned between the trap and the back of the wood cubby. I let them come to me instead of searching out the burrow holes. I find that they are sometimes shy about exiting the hole that has the trap over it. A baited cubby circumvents this problem. I'm up to 31 chipmunks this summer and still counting (without moving the cubby).

Bought these traps for chipmunks and ground squirrels that were digging under my retaining walls. In the two weeks I've had them set I've caught 27 chipmunks and 2 ground squirrels! These things are the real deal! Wish I would have bought 2 more right away! Awesome trap!

I got two of these to stop chipmunks from tunneling under my sidewalk and they're fantastic traps. 10/10 would recommend if you have a small animal problem.

Great trap, perfect for chipmunks. I was after a wood rat tonight and it made a perfect catch right behind the ears. However, it was a little underpowered for the rat. Still, very happy to have this trap in my toolbox.

Just like trapping muskrats back in the day. Caught 8 chipmunks out of one hole in 3 days!

I have tried the usual rat traps and after one or two is caught they quit hitting the trap. I placed these over the rat's entrance/exit holes and it worked perfectly. Once I quit catching them I filled the holes.

I tried everything before (Rat Trap with P. Butter, The wood plank with a bucket of baited water, Glue Boards) Also would shoot them with a 22 scoped rifle. But too many bad ricochets! I bought this size and the 3.5 size and they have made a world of difference. Wish I had known about them 20 years ago. Life is good now!

Very effective!

I have had two of these for a five years, now and they work great. Rarely ever a "trip" without a chipmunk being in it.

Perfect size for chipmunk holes

Based on watching a blink camera, I have a single rat that I have tunneling into my chicken run. I've tried havahart traps, T-Rex rat traps, one of those electronic rat killers and a plain old Victor wooden rat trap, all with no luck. I set this trap in a wooden box over his tunnel. Haven't caught him yet as he is very trap shy, but he hasn't made it back into the run either. I have every confidence that when he gets up his courage this trap will finish him.

I set my traps inside a 2 foot chunk of 4 inch tile with a slot cut for the spring. Had to put a spacer in there to make it work. Worked great! One catch, I walked out back door and ground squirrel saw me and ran right into my tile set to get away from me andc "pop", done.

Best rat trap ever One a day 3 days in a row

Place it over the hole- no more chipmunks. Be sure to stake it down so a scavenger doesn't make off with your trap. Careful when 1st setting this trap- don't get your thumb caught...

These definitely work for chipmunks, but I recommend the bucket/plank trap method if you're dealing with a large colony. Much cheaper.

This grip trap has worked great for chipmunks. So far, I'm 2 for 2. The 2.5" trap is the right size to sit over the den hole. They can't get in or out without tripping the trap.

This trap works awesome! Caught five in five days. Just wish I would have bought another one! If you have chipmunk problems this works!

This is a great trap that works better than any other trap I've used in the past. Just place the trap over the chipmunk hole using a stone over the spring area to hold it in place; camo it with a few leaves and trap the critter a couple of hours later. Works every time!

Very high quality trap

Have tried many methods of catching and killing chipmunks this one really works. As soon as I set the trap out I started catching the chipmunks within a week they were gone!!! Great product and highly recommend!!!

Very pleased with the quality and the service

Ordered these after being frustrated by other means of chipmunk control. Chipmunk numbers are decreasing daily!

Very impressive quality, excellent shipping. Wish I had bought this years ago. Also available with mounting bracket: Product Code NBRBG25WB, 2.5" Round Body Grip w/ Uni-bracket.

I had something digging around my garage . Ordered a couple of 2.5" & 3.5" round body grip traps. Caught a rat within a day. Worked great. Shipping and service was great.

I sent money, they shipped the trap. Promptly. Caught the smart rat that had been such a pain. Told friends and family about it. Will probably buy more.

Great little trap that gets the job done.

Love these traps, had a problem with the chipmunks, till I set these traps out, problem solved!

I had a serious colony of chipmunks. Smart little buggers had an elaborate tunnel system. This was the perfect solution.

This trap is quality made and very effective. I make a set from about 18 inches of thick walled PVC interior drain pipecut in half lengthwise. I cut a slot for the spring near the middle and put this trap inside and place the set on the chipmunk run. They see a safe tunnel and run through. Instant kill and the set keeps the carcass out of sight.

This was my first time purchasing and using round body grip traps. They're perfect for placing over rat holes and fit into some tight spaces. Definitely a good tool to have for rodent problems.

These RBG's are an effective tool when dealing with small holes leading into attics/chimneys. They are easily modified to make your own support bracket by drilling out the rivet opposite the spring side and inserting a 10/32 SS bolt with sheet metal. I added a bead of mig weld on either side of the dog to keep it center, as it will swing to the side and sometimes prevents the RBG from closing down all the way, resulting in a lost catch.
