Exposed traps are better.
Much better.
Not cause the trap is exposed as much as because it is used at a walk through set.
Its the set that make the difference and the exposed trap makes the set better, but you can cover the trap with dirt if you are a non-believer.
The walk through will catch more cats cause you place it in their path and cats are too lazy to go around it. Or jump over. Takes advantage of what makes a cat a cat.
A percentage of cats, maybe 30 - 40 per cent, won't walk out of their way to check out your dirt hole set. They just don't give a darn. And walk on by. Or sit 6 feet away, and then walk on by. But that 30 - 40% will walk right through the walk through.
The exposed trap in a walk through targets the foot. You leave the pan or pan cover as the only spot to step on, and by golly the cats steps right there.
Cuts way down on the misses or toe catches compared to covering the trap with dirt.
Last by not least it doesn't freeze up if you don't put anything on the trap to freeze. And you put salt or sticks under the trap.
But even in non freezing climates its a better set, for the above reasons.
