## Description

Product description Are you having a hard time controlling small pests that seem to escape time after time? Make a change and remove these animals in a humane way by using the MATATA 2-Door Trap. Our humane animal trap is specially designed for resolving this problem in a safe and effective way, without injuring or killing them. Our traps do not use poison or glue and are safe to use around children and pets, indoors or outdoors. Ideal for catching squirrels, chipmunks, rats, voles and similar-size nuisance animals. Once the pedal touched slightly, the trap will be triggered and the door will shut up immediately. Catch rodents alive, and release them far away if you want. Two door design, not only can reduce the vigilance of mice, but also ensure have a very high success rate. Dimensions: 15 x 4.8 x 4.3 inch How to catch them in a right way 1. Please put the trap on dark and secluded places where mouse often appear. 2. Try different baits if you do not get mice caught, different baits have different attraction to mice. 3. Wear gloves when handling the trap so you don't leave any human scent on it. 4. Please don't put heavy bait on the pedal due to the trap is very sensitive. How to set up Lift up the arm bar. Lift the two door handle and press them down to open the two door. Put the arm bar down, insert the arm bar into the trigger hole. Lift the two safety lock and put them on the edge of the door. Place bait on the pedal Target Animals for the MATATA Humane Live Animal Cage Trap Chipmunks Use peanut butter to 'glue' sunflower seeds, corn or raisins to the trigger plate of your chipmunk trap, then place it near the chipmunk burrow, under bushes they hide in or under a shed or similar structure. Rats Try a variety of food in your trap, including bacon, peanut butter or nuts. Place the rat trap near walls, wires or other pathways you believe the rats use. If you see rat droppings or gnaw marks, you’ve found the right spot. Squirrels The baits squirrels love match most other small animals – peanut butter, nuts, apple slices and grains. Place the trap where squirrels are active, but away from other food sources, such as a bird feeder. Voles These mouse-like animals have a small range, so place your trap within that territory. Bait with apple slices, nuts, sunflower seeds or gum drops. You can 'glue' those items in place with peanut butter.

Review: Excellent trap! - Easy to use, and clean. Built very well, and very effective. Great value! First night, caught 5 wood rats. Very sensitive trigger!
Review: Not suitable for catching mice - Even though this trap mentions "mouse" in the description, it does not catch mice. It will only work for bigger animals - a mouse is not heavy enough to trigger it. When it arrived, it was very hard to set and very hard to trigger. The triggering mechanism is a horizontal rod on the top that goes under a hook attached to the bait pan, so when the hook moves to the side a spring closes the doors. The horizontal rod was a little too long and had some burs on it, so it caught on the hook and made the trap difficult to set or trigger. That seemed like an obvious manufacturing defect, so I decided to fix it rather than send it back. After filing a little length and some burs off the end of the rod, it could be set easily without catching, but still seemed a little hard to trigger. I even tried putting some teflon plumbing tape around the end to make it slide more easily, but the best I could do was make it so a half ounce of pressure on the bait tray would trigger it about half the time. (I used half an ounce of #12 wire partially coiled, so the wire could go through the top and sit on the edge of the bait tray, supporting the weight of the coil). I didn't think that was sensitive enough, but tried setting it anyway. The bait was gone in the morning, trap still open. I saw what did it, because my other trap got it. It was an ordinary size mouse, bigger than some of the ones I've caught before, but still too light for this trap. It looks like a sturdy trap, but the distance from the tray to the doors is short enough that the tail of a rat or a squirrel could still be sticking out the door when it closes. Those doors slam pretty hard, so I'm not sure it's suitable for trapping anything. I don't need to trap anything bigger than a mouse though, so it's going back.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Meh.
*by L***. on April 15, 2021*

I live in the country, and rats making their nests in our cars, lawnmower, under porches, etc is a huge problem. We currently have a quite heavy duty Havahart brand 2-door trap that is awesome, got this one because it was less expensive, and I won't buy another one. It's awkward to set, and when it's tripped the doors that snap shut can flip the securing mechanism back inside the trap, which just allows the rat to push right out. We have caught ONE with it, and 7 in the Havahart. I don't know if it's the entry size that is making that difference or if the rats are just leary of the "new" thing. But those narrow entry points make it pretty tough to clean by hand, so I have to high power water spray it down, the Havahart I can just turn upside down and reach into it. This is ok, not worth returning, but I'm not over the moon with it either.
