Humane Mouse Trap Set of 2

Update 1/6/2026: The single mouse from the story below did turn out to be the only one in the house and it remained so until late December 2025. In late December 2025, we saw another mouse coming out from under our stove. I got these traps back out and set one near the stove and one in the dry goods pantry. After not catching it for a couple of days, we noticed that he always tended to run behind a cabinet in the dining room. I moved one of the traps there and caught it that night -again with no bait. I took him out to a big field and released him about two weeks ago. No further sign of mice. I can't say enough about how well these work and how easy they are to use! These arrived late on a Tuesday. The wife and I debated what we should use as bait, since we had tried using peanut butter, popped popcorn, dry dog food, soft cheese, and even a dry piece of pasta (the pasta is what they're mostly eating in the cabinets) on glue traps with no success. It was too late to spend much time debating, so I just set one trap -with no bait- and put it on the shelf in the pantry closet where we keep the dry pasta. I set the other trap and put it where we keep the bread. We went to bed around 10pm. Woke up at 4:30am and checked the traps and -without bait- we had caught a mouse in the cabinet where we keep the pasta. I couldn't get somewhere to release it until around 8am, but it was fine in the little trap as it waited. I released it into a field a mile or so away and it bounded off probably only a little less terrified of me than I was of it. I've kept the traps in the same locations -still without bait- for the last four days and haven't seen any signs of further rodents. I didn't clean the trap before I put it back because it seemed to me that smelling like a rodent would only make it more appealing. While I don't believe that we had just one mouse, who knows? I was very impressed with how easy it was to set, that it caught the mouse with no bait, and that I was able to release the mouse with only minor trauma to each of us.

Easy to use and effective. Caught the little critters in one night and able to relocate them elsewhere. Highly recommend these traps.

Each time we have had to use this trap we have caught the mouse within hours! Very effective and I appreciate the humane aspect as I really hate for them to suffer. Takes minutes to set up. We usually put a whole nut or piece of bread inside and clean up is easy. Would deffinitly recommend.

My male cat likes to hang out in the garage, since he can't go outside. As the weather turns colder, the rodents look for shelter and, obviously, a food source. Like a dummy, I had a 50 lb bag of bird feed sitting on the floor in the garage, and had been putting off opening it and putting it into the metal can. Shelter = garage Food source = bird feed So, my boy brought a mouse in one night when I let him in. It was so small I hadn't noticed he had it until he dropped it at my feet, and the chase was on. The cat and I both lost it somewhere in the kitchen. I got a Havahart and used peanut butter as bait, and for good measure, put a peanut in the middle of the peanut butter. I found droppings around the trap, and the peanut disappeared. I replaced the peanut and pushed it deeper into the peanut butter, thinking it would make the little critter have to work harder at the peanut (and also allow me to tell if it had been in the trap). The next morning there were droppings IN the trap, but no peanut. I searched Amazon for something more efficient and happened across these traps. The design seemed logical and I really didn't want to hurt or kill the little critter, so I ordered a box of two. I baited the back wall of one with peanut butter - really slathered it on there good. I put it under the kitchen sink where I thought it might be hanging out, as my cat has been standing guard there for the week the mouse has been in the house. Less than an hour after I sat down, I heard a noise. I looked in the kitchen and saw the cat standing rigidly, sniffing at the cupboard door. I opened the door, and there caught in the trap was our little uninvited guest, frantically pooping and peeing as it was looking for a way out. Since it's 20 degrees and snowing outside, I wanted to release it with food in it's belly, since it had clearly come out looking for food. I put the trap in the bathroom shower, then closed the door so the cat couldn't get in there. An hour or so later I went in and saw that the peanut butter was gone, so I took it out on the deck and released it to go and live it's best life. No animals were harmed in the catch and release of this mouse. This trap worked PERFECTLY as it was designed to work. As far as cleaning it, I took a $1 bottle brush with a wire handle, squirted some Clorox foaming bleach on it, and cleaned out the trap, rinsing with hot water. I then soaked the brush in foaming bleach, rinsed it with hot water, and took it to the basement to no longer be used on dishes. I'll buy a new $1 brush at the Dollar Twenty Five store. Highly, highly, highly recommend these traps if you are looking for a peaceful, humane resolution to uninvited guests. ***DISCLAIMER - will not be effective on uninvited in-laws

Ordered these as soon as I discovered a mouse in my house. Delivered and set up the next day. It took 15 days for the mouse to go inside one of the traps. I successfully released it 12 hours later. I’m very happy to have an easy and humane solution! I put nut butter in the bait area, and I wasn’t happy it took so long for the mouse to be baited to it. There is to my knowledge zero other food sources in my house as I run a very tight ship. About 1 week before capture, I put popcorn in there which the mouse eagerly ate. I do like the amount of air flow in this design, the mouse didn’t overly condense and perspire in the trap like I have seen before. I do wonder if it is a little over-engineered compared to the simple swing door square traps I have used with success in the past. With so many parts, it’s much more of a pain to clean and the mouse poop is stuck in crevices. I wish it was a much faster catch! But, it is effective and easy and did the job.

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.

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.

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.

Mouse walked right up to and looked at the peanut butter but didn't go in I like the concept but did not work

So happy with the performance.
