Cadrim Mouse Trap, 2 Pack Big Humane Mouse Catcher Kid and Pet Safe Rodent Trap for Mice (Brown)

I was using another type of humane mouse trap which is much shorter in length. The larger mice would be trapped with their tails outside of the door. That is traumatizing for both the mouse and me. Then one day a mouse was outside of the trap with the door closed on a foreleg. I was bitten while releasing the mouse. I had to find another solution. These traps are 12 inches in length, much longer than other humane traps, with a large opening which mimics a hole in a wall. The mouse needs to travel a longer distance in order to trigger the mechanism to close the door. The door swings downward instead of snapping upwards which also lessens the chance of limbs being caught. The longer length of these traps contain the whole mouse. No more tails caught on the outside! The mouse can also move freely within the trap. There is an easily accessible trough to replenish the bait, too. A couple of the mice even took a short nap after eating the peanut butter bait. Release of the mouse is fast and easy as the door flips upward after lifting the lever on the side. I hold the top of the door with a finger as an extra precaution until the mouse runs out. I highly recommend these traps for karma free trapping and releasing of house mice.

I have owned 2 of these for about a month now and I'm a little embarrassed about how many mice we caught. Apparently, they learned to avoid the old style traps. We used to catch about 2 mice every 6 months or so. It was like that for years. But I became suspicious when we weren't catching any and I knew they were around. I bought two of these traps and instantly began catching several a day! I think we've caught around 25 of them now. It could be because it got very cold just before I bought these, but still they are not touching the bait on the old traps. I learned from reading reviews here that the traps become fouled by the mice and cleaning them is a problem. I avoided that problem (mostly) by lining the bottom with 2" strips of light cardboard (cereal boxes). That also makes it much easier to bait the trap. Put bait on the cardboard and slide it in. I put a little bait near the door and more way back in the trap. After 3 weeks one of my traps stopped working, they stole the bait. I don't understand why, but the door would not close normally. I solved that problem by putting a little padding under the rear of the trap so it leans every so slightly forward. Problem solved. We're down to about one mouse a day. Maybe it's because it got warmer, or we caught most of them. My wife says they got tired of being caught and stopped coming back in the house. :) I highly recommend these traps.

I purchased the larger trap and so glad I did. Mouse has plenty of room to roam and tail will not get caught in door. Also, the springs are functional but light duty, so if the mouse gets caught in the door, it has a chance of freeing itself. PROS Large opening for mouse to enter. Large enough for entire mouse and tail to easily move around inside. Easy to see the mouse inside. Can get a bottle brush inside to clean. Design prevents mouse from chewing its way out. Bait area vents have metal reinforcements on the inside. Trigger is easily tripped by the light weight of a mouse. Large openings on both ends make it easy to release mouse from either side. CONS Very small bait area - limited to type of - and amount of - bait that can be used. Overall they are very functional and comparable to metal traps that I also own. I'm glad I bought them. I am using them alongside metal traps and both work equally well and compliment each other.

Earlier this year I tried a glue trap, but after catching a mouse on it and seeing how much he suffered (I found him with his tail torn completely off his body, his hide ripped open, and him gasping for air as he struggled desperately)-- I had to finish him off to end his trauma-- I immediately destroyed that glue trap and vowed that I will never, EVER use another. They are horribly cruel. I felt so bad over what I had caused that creature to go through. Determined to find a humane way to relocate the mice that find their way into my house in the woods, I began my search for live traps. The first two I bought were the Authenzo brand, 2019 version, which I baited with peanut butter, but I had little success with them. Even when mice were clearly in the house, they wouldn't enter the traps. And I always worried that if one was caught, the cramped space would cause the door to close on the mouse's tail. So after another mouse recently found it's way into the house, I was back on Amazon seeking a better model. One particular 5-star review here, by Bec, pointed out that this trap is longer in length, allowing adequate clearance for long-tailed mice and reducing anxiety while in the trap. Bec also suggested using BONITO FISH FLAKES as BAIT. Inspired by that review, I ordered two 2-packs (4 traps all together), plus Bonito fish flakes. The order arrived quickly. Within just a few hours of setting the traps, the mouse was caught (see his mug shot below). The Bonito fish flakes really are a hit! Another piece of advice: Be sure that no bait gets lodged under the "step plate" or when the mouse steps on it, it won't drop down, which is what releases the door latch so that it closes. I had to be careful of this with the Authenzo traps, too. I like how user-friendly this trap is. The latch on the door, and the bait door, are both so easy to open and set compared to those on the Authenzo. And this trap is nearly twice the length and a little taller (more spacious for the rodent caught in it). The air slots are also more generous, and are reinforced with aluminum on the inside to prevent mice from chewing their way out. I relocate any caught mice to a large meadow a couple miles from our house-- and I do this promptly, as soon as it's daylight --but I still like to know that they are stressed as little as possible while waiting. I genuinely like everything about this trap and recommend it highly.

Dopo 3 giorni che il topone mangiava solo le noccioline sull’uscio, ha preso confidenza ed è entrato... Game over. Avevo provato di tutto per catturare questo topo che mi ha devastato il laghetto, e speso una fortuna tra trappole, bocconi, ecc. Con questa trappola è una manciata di sole noccioline ho risolto un problema enorme, in soli tre giorni. Il topo sta bene, ora vado in piena campagna e lo libero. Consiglio di non toccare la trappola e le noccioline con le mani nude, pare che i topi sentano l’odore umano e siano più diffidenti. Probabilmente se me l’avessero detto prima l’avrei catturato in minor tempo. Trappola consigliatissima, meccanismo semplice ma molto efficace. Se avete topi piccoli mettete una moneta da 50 cent. sulla pedana che fa scattare il meccanismo. Ciao

Compre 2 tipos de trampas, estas y otras metalicas más grandes , he puesto los 2 tipos de trampas a la vez en distintos sitios con el mismo cebo(cereales y muesli del desayuno) y solo han caído en esta de plástico, cada vez que las he puesto he cazado alguna rata, en menos de 24 horas.

Bought this to put in my greenhouse as mice were destroying seedlings. Works well and means i don't have to use poison near good plants. Also I would not be happy using poison at all. This is far preferable as mice can be set free in fields away from garden and house without harm.

An anderer Stelle wird berichtet, dass die Maus zu leicht zum Auslösen der Falle wäre und deshalb ein 5-Cent-Stück auf die Wippe klebten. Da das Gehäuse nur gesteckt ist, kommt man leicht an den Federdraht ran. Diesen habe ich so verbogen, dass nun (ohne Münze) allein das Gewicht einer kleinen Maus ausreicht. Dabei musste ich 2-3x nachjustieren. Nun klappt es aber perfekt. Die Fallen würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.
