Humane Mouse Trap (2-Pack) – Ultra-Sensitive Catch & Release Live Mice Traps – Fast Home, Indoor & Outdoor Control – Safe for Kids & Pets – Reusable No-Kill Design

I received a box of two traps just yesterday... less than 36 hours ago. So why am I writing a review already? Because those babies actually work as advertised! Tl;dr: Get them. Long winded review: We've lived at our current address for nearly 12 years, and for the first decade there was zero issues with pests in the garage. There was this high gap for the back door of the garage that mice could easily slip through, but no issues meant I never dealt with it. Then about 6 months ago I realized something had chewed into a box of snacks kept on a shelf. We clearly had a mouse issue. Why now? Well, I live in a neighborhood that used to be surrounded by warehouses and other industrial buildings. Over the last few years, however, those have been torn down and converted to (or are in the process of being converted to) residential/mixed use. Essentially the mice were evicted, and as the larger (and mostly empty) buildings available dwindled to nothing they sought out new places to live. Thus that back garage door gap must have looks like a "Free Lodgings!" sign to them. I took care of the door with a metal door draft stopper (anything other than metal is a waste of time and money as the mice will just chew through anything softer) and tried to scoot out mice with a good garage cleaning. I saw several exit through the open front door, and thought "Okay, I think I got most of them". Yeah, I know how silly that sounds now. Anyway, after making sure most of the edibles were sealed in mouse proof containers or moved inside the house, I eventually saw signs that they were getting into things I hadn't thought would be a problem... like bags of potting soil and old bird seed. I busted one on the edge of a box one night and realized I would need to work to get them out of the house. I didn't want to KILL them... really, if not for the mess and minor damage they're pretty harmless... so I looked into something that I could use to catch and release them outside the house. As I noted I got those the morning the day before writing this review; very easy to bait and set (peanut butter works a treat for the bait), so I had the first trap set in the garage by noon. I set the other one in the house because I'm paranoid enough to imagine one or two slipping inside and wanted to be sure. I then was out and about dealing with various life events and chores. On a whim I decided to check the trap at 6PM... and much to my surprise there was already a very chubby little guy in the trap, clearly convinced they were about to be eaten. I took it outside, walked to a nearby park, and released him. Now this is where I ran into the only drawback with this design; the mouse had been in the trap a few hours, so it was predictably messy with scat and urine. Cleaning was relatively easy, but getting the underneath of the trap trigger (the ramp the mouse steps on to get to the bait) was fairly difficult. I was able to rinse it out, but wiping it dry proved equally difficult; fortunately once it was mostly dry the rest took care of itself. Once it was dry I re-loaded the bait and put it back in the garage. Checked the next morning... and there was another one! This poor guy managed to get the end of his very long tail stuck in the trap door, but I carefully loosed the door and they (and the tail) was fine. I released them the same as the first, then cleaned/set it again. I was now concerned I wasn't checking the traps frequently enough, so I decided to look in on it a few hours later... and sure enough, there was mouse number **3**. Released this one and resolved to write this review. :P By contrast the trap in the house has yet to catch any, so I'm feeling a little more confident about the lack of mice in the house, but I plan to move it about every day or so to make sure I cover any potential mouse haunts/trails. I believe there are at least 3 to 4 left in the garage; at this rate they should be cleared out by the end of the week. Once the trap stops becoming populated I'll give everything a thorough cleaning again, and hopefully won't need to use those anymore.

Great size which really makes it humane. Easy to use and effective

Followed the directions and put peanut butter in the bait area. The traps really work! We haven’t had mice in years but they managed to find their way back into the house again. Unfortunately, it took us a while to realize they were here, so we have a lot of them in our basement. So far we’ve caught 7! We caught one within 30 minutes of laying the first trap! They are easy to set up, but place them lightly or you may trip it. Release is very easy, too. We also made sure to seal up any areas they could be coming in. In our case it was an old metal basement door that had rusted. We will be purchasing some airtight plastic food storage containers for flour and sugar, etc.

This is a life saver. We live in the desert so occasional we get field mice trying to nest in our garage. I would really get sad when we had to set traps, i wanted an alternate way if catching the mice and releasing them back to their habitat. I was skeptical at fist that these would work.... But, they are amazing, we catch the mice without hurting them. Very easy to use trap, small enough for small spaces, and reusable a plus.

This trap was really easy to set up. The clear plastic is a great design choice because you can see when you've got something without removing the trap from where it's placed. Within 3 days we caught our first uninvited guest. Our other humane trap had been sitting in the same spot for 4 months without any results. The one issue I have is that my wife and I want to be as humane as possible. What I didn't expect to see when finding a mouse caught last night was it's tail shut in the trap door. I opened it just enough to get it's tail all the way in, but, the door had already mostly amputated it's tail. By the following morning when I went to release the mouse it's tail had come off completely, and it had eaten it. So knowing I have long tailed deer mice in my home I may have to rethink using this trap. But, it's still a great product. Fast and self explanatory set up. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Excellent design. I'm sure the mouse I got will survive despite it's shorter tail. I just wish the pressure plate was a little further away from the door so it would be less likely to injure long tailed rodents.

I actually do TNR on cats and I wish the traps were this easy . I actually caught my first mouse in over 30 yrs. I haven’t had any until now . Which explains that . But it took a few days to catch it. It started making a ruckus last night , so I put the other trap in beside it . That did the trick. It was easy to open to let him out and a bit warmer outside. I took him down the road a bit so he doesn’t come back . I have 4 cats in the house , I showed them the mouse and told them that this is what we catch ! Only one was interested. I fired the other 3 . Cleaning them doesn’t look like a fun job , but worth it . Will be setting them up again tonight. I’m not sure how many I have but these traps are pretty darn cool and so easy to set up!

These traps were easy to get set up with peanut butter and sesame seeds. And although the traps looked pretty small when I got them, or I more likely thought the mouse was bigger, it turns out that after seeing the mouse caught in it, it was plenty roomy—larger than a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco! The first mouse was caught after about a week! The second was caught a day later. It wasn’t soon enough for having been somewhat unnerved every time it (because I thought there was only one!) rustled in my room! It had the whole house but stayed in my bedroom, YIPPEE! Couldn’t possibly be a mouse that had an anti-social personality! Nooooo! It was very easy to drop him back outside without having to touch him or anything! By that point though, I was pretty much resigned to the fact that he’d never leave, and I began to feel a little like he was my pet! I did not need to pet him tho! No no no no no! No, no thank you. I was worried that I might should leave him a small container of water though, because I had no ill will, and wondered if he would die of dehydration since I didn’t have any water in my room! I didn’t want to kill him! And then I wondered, “How much are hamster/gerbil enclosures? Cheap? They have little water bottle things, right?” Before I could do an Amazon search, it finally happened! The (first) little furry thing is caught in the tube—yay! There was much celebration, with liquor, dancing, confetti, balloons, fireworks! Until I realized there was another one, which I caught the next day, only to realize now there’s yet one more than that one! And this one’s made it to the rest of the house—how very ambitious! I’m so proud of the booger! Ugh. No more confetti. No more celebration. If I catch that one and there’s still another one, using my poker room, on the opposite side of the house, I may just move to a beach somewhere and never come back! As for the traps, size-wise I can’t comment decisively on if they will fit rats, but I’d say these traps might not be big enough for bona fide rodentia like rats or squirrels or raccoons or possums! But you would probably be able to figure that out for yourself! Like I already said, if you see one, there’s more where that one came from! I did immediately block their entrance after the first one I saw, but I didn’t know at the time that the first one I saw wasn’t the first and wasn’t the only one! Aw jeez, I just heard a noise from the kitchen! Now I’m afraid to go get a coke! I used to have three cats, and even though I know it’s not their fault, I am slightly miffed over the fact that they died, a long time ago, and are not here to take care of this for me! All they’d have to do is catch them and I would pick the cat up, with it in their mouths, and then drop them outside where the mouse will easily get free from my pampered little felines and all would be good with the world! Those cats didn’t pay one penny in rent for all those years! Still, these traps are fine if you also only have dead predatory pets!

When I realized a mouse had gotten into my house, I was really reluctant to get traps. I have never liked the traditional traps because it seems like a horrible way to die. I also have pets and a big husband that can see deer a mile away but can't find ketchup in our fridge, so I was worried they could get hurt. I was going to get glue traps and use oil to unstick the mouse after catching it, but I found these instead. I was initially concerned it would be difficult to use, but it's very simple. I figured it out as soon as I pulled it from it's packaging and looked at it. The entry point has to be pushed down and clicks under the switch. There's another opening at the back that can be slid off to place bait or let the mouse out. If you set it down too roughly it can set the trap off, so be fairly gentle. If it does go off, it's easy to reset. It only took three days for the mouse to be captured. I woke up and heard it running around in the trap. He was perfectly healthy and safe. Another concern I had was that the mouse would somehow be able to pull the trap door back and squeeze out, but that didn't happen. A few things I recommend: if you move the mouse to another location for release like I did, take a plastic bag and maybe a rag with you. Even a grocery bag would do. The mouse I caught soiled the trap and with the openings for air, it could easily get on your hands or belongings. If I catch another mouse, I plan on setting it on a rag on a plastic bag to catch any urine, and once I release the mouse, put it in bag until I can clean it. Another tip is to slowly tilt the side with the removable door upwards so the mouse sits on the other end. Remove the door and set the trap down to release. Again, I was worried about getting urine on my hands and car, so take a bag with you. I really don't think these will be difficult to clean, but I will update my review if I have issues. I would recommend these and buy again.

Las trampas son MEEEEEGA fáciles de usar. Basta con presionar la puertita hacia adentro y solita se asegura. Cuando el ratón entra, su propio peso libera la puertita y queda atrapado. No salen heridos, ni nada. Solo tienes que poner algo de comida hasta el fondo, para que se sientan atraídos y entren. Entre más olorosa sea la comida, mejor. Con ratones muy pequeños conviene poner algo pesado para que con moverlo tantito se active la trampa. Los ratones caen en cuestión de horas. Lo único que resulta difícil, al menos para mí, es liberarlos. Dos se han muerto y no supe porqué. Me da miedo que me muerdan, entonces me las he ingeniado para abrirlas con cuidado. Tampoco es sencillo saber dónde llevarlos. La calidad de los materiales es excelente. Me encantaron porque fueron incluso mejores de lo que esperaba. TOTALMENTE recomendadas.

This product really works! Big props to the person who said to put a small coin in there to make the door more sensitive. It’s pretty sensitive as is, but this will def do the job! Pair these with guidance from AI / chat GPT and you’ll catch your mouse. Use peanut butter as the bait. We caught the main larger mouse the other day (not pictured) and were surprised to catch a smaller second mouse (pictured). The funnelling technique works so well if you can do it and find out the entry and exit points. Giving it a full 5 days of no mouse poo under the sink before I patch up the entry point they’re coming in from.

We used peanut butter on pasta and we caught the family of mice and released them together. Only downside, the door closing g is very powerful and one of the mice had half his tail chopped off which was really awful considering we wanted to keep the whole trapping as humane and pain free as possible.

Es un muy buen producto! Lo hemos usado y han caído dos ratoncitos, los cuales hemos podido liberar de manera humana sin causarles nada de dolor y calmarles el hambre por un ratito al poner comidita al fondo para hacerlos que entren en la trampa. Hay que tener un poco de cuidado con la comida que se le pone ya que si es muy pesada se puede cerrar la puertita de la trampa y el ratoncito ya no podría entrar, fuera de ahi es muy buena ya que le permite al animalito respirar y ver fuera de la trampa lo cual le ahorra estrés. Lo recomiendo completamente si quieren dejar de maltratar a los animalitos con las trampas tradicionales

I caught quite a few mice with this, but it only worked for house mice and I only caught one at a time. It's also quite difficult to clean.
