I have tried muskrat floats around here with very little luck. Many different kinds, sizes and shapes. But i have never tried one of the automatic Palaces.
The colony traps work extremely well around here and are cheep to make your self. No bate, and i have caught as many as 9 rats at a time with multiple traps hooked together.
I am sure they would work well in high populated muskrat areas, we do not have that here. Dave

Mikes traps work well,,,, Not sure that they are the tool for the "last" rat in the pond,,,,but they are a good tool......

I agree with Vinke.
I did a Tested article on them in WCT last year. For spring/summer work, I recommend installing some additional wire on the back by the bait or you'll have issues with turtles taking it.
Ultimately, they are another tool in the toolbox but I feel it is worth having them for when they are needed.

If I were to use them..(under right circumstances)......I would use them to take the majority of rats and then do cleanup work on the remaining few with colony traps or 110s in runs, den entrances or blind sets. I don't think its a set that would take the last few rats.

That is how it all starts, you do not know till you buy one and try it. Then you need to buy another one because the first one was just a test run. Then you have to buy another one so the first two do not get lonely. I think the wife is catching on to me over the years. Dave
