Mattventon 1 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 last year I bought some mk 4 Fenn traps from Atlantic Stratford, they seemed reasonabaly priced at about £6.00 each. When i recieved them they were cheap Chinese copies which unfortunataly I didn't realise this at the time, they are now no longer in use. Haven't bought anything else off them so can't really judge but in my opinion, a lot of their traps look too cheap to be much good. hope this helps Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 160 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 They mainly sell 'budget' traps made in the far east, which are illegal to use in the UK. If you want genuine Talpex traps, try Killgerm or Barrettine. For Fenns, try JohnB on here, for Magnums, go direct to the Magnum trap company. Don't skimp on traps. Good quality traps make the difference between success and failure and outlast cheap crap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 IMO Atlantic Stratford traps = junk Try buying the real thing - they will last for ages and what's more, they are actually legal to use OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davedavedave 69 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I just got some new Talpex traps from this company:- http://www.ratbait.co.uk They are the "real deal" with Talpex stamped on the bar and as someone else said the spring would not be out of place on a Fenn. Just worked out the easiest and safest way to set them so cant wait to get going with them. They aren't the cheapest so I rang before ordering and the chap assumed me they were the real ones and they are. You only get what you pay for. I have also got some T Rex rat traps and mini T Rex mouse traps from them and again quality products and arrived quick so I would recommend this company. I also found this useful video on You Tube about how to set them which folks might find handy:0 Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
