Title: Rusted within a day or two
Product review: My favorite groundhog nuisance has several holes in our acre yard. I put this trap at one of his holes, but he avoided it like the plague. Within a few days, it was rusted to the point that the trap would not even set off when I poked the trigger with a stick. So now it's off to recycling. If, as some commenters suggest, covering it with some primer is a good way to make it last longer, I suggest the manufacturers do so.And unlike some other commenter said, you DO want the setting tool. I'm a decent sized ex-offensive lineman and NCAA athlete, and my intelligence is not lacking. I had a very hard time setting this trap, and eventually went back to buy the setting tool. Now that's off to recycling too...I did catch a groundhog with a live trap a few weeks after I gave up on this one. Took about 5 days with the live trap, after 3 weeks without results with this one.
