Kat Sense Large Humane Rat Traps, Set of 2, Catch and Release Chipmunks Into The Wild, Cruelty Free, Live Capture Plank Trap, Smart No Kill Rodent House Cage, A Friendly Pest Control Solution

Our house got infested just before the winter season, and has gotten so bad my mom and I both contracted Salmonilla. I hear the mice rummaging around at night, and they've gotten so comfortable with us they just appear in front of us like they want to hang sometimes. Cute little guys, but... no. Their feces and urine dry up, circulate in the air, and spread diseases (like Salmonilla, and if you've never had it, it's dehydration, headaches, fever, and diarrhea like you've never known - NO holding it back, it just pours out and no amount of pinching it off will matter).We tried the Tomcat Poison traps (with the green blocks) for a couple of months - they say one block kills 12 mice, and we went through one complete block, half of another (both of those under the same bathroom sink), and quarter sections of a couple more in a couple of different rooms, but I've sat and watched the mice in my room ignore them at times, preferring my trash, or in the kitchen, my mom's bird feed, etc., and after further reading, I felt TERRIBLE knowing that those particular poisons are a HORRIBLE way to die (massive internal bleeding, dehydration, 48 hours of suffering, plus one died somewhere around our kitchen sink, and the odor of death isn't a pleasant one). I also used vinegar in a spray bottle to overwhelm their highly sensitive noses, which kinda works (until the smell disappates or they get used to it and start caring more about food than odors).So I ordered these, and having only had them for a few hours, already captured and released two mice. WITHIN HOURS. A tiny little dab of peanut butter, and they walked right in. Clink. Trap-door closed, and they weren't squished or poisoned. I took them out to a nearby field where I lifted the door, and away they went. Yes, they were terrified, and yes, they could find their way back to the house I suppose - especially in winter - but the traps are easy to set, easy to use, and the mice are easily released into the wild. My Mom's cat was SUPER AFFECTIONATE with me after seeing me catch one. He was all like, "I've been staring at the kitchen cabinets all night! Good job, dude!" Simple, solid, effective product. Highly recommended.UPDATE: The same day I wrote this, our four traps caught TEN MICE!!! (obviously not all at once), but after quickly catching the first three, and releasing them within 100 yards of our house, I read that you need to release them no less than 2 MILES from where you live, or they can find their way back - although reports varied, with some reports indicating that house mice lack the survival skills needed to make such a journey home. I don't know, but I knew a spot near a creek with some bushes 5 miles away, and took two at a time as I caught them to release them into the wild (leaving some nuts, dried berries, and shredded paper towels for warmth/house building).By the time I'd drop off two, I'd come back and find two more trapped (as I said, we're infested). One got out of his trap while I was putting my shoes back on - I guess I didn't close the door enough - but 9 out of 10 were released into the wild late at night, and 6 out of 10 were released into the same area, so I hope they found each other. I honestly don't think they have much chance in the wild - but its a chance - and with the green blocks they have none. TEN MICE IN A SINGLE DAY. Just... wow. Two more the next day, although they were clearly smaller and younger, and it was harder to release them, as they were visibly disoriented and freaked out.WASH YOUR HANDS after touching the traps or any droppings they leave behind, because both my Mom and I have caught Salmonilla from being around and cleaning up after these cute little pests, and at the risk of offending someone, no amount of trying to pinch it off spared either of us from an embarrassing case of the runs (luckily, she was alone in her car wearing a raincoat, and I was near a bathroom and necessary shower, but trust me, even though it ends after about 5 days, you don't want Salmonilla). The mice are cute, but they're unintentionally dangerous as well.48 hours later, and I haven't seen or heard a mouse all day! Couldn't be happier, just WASH YOUR HANDS after handling anything they've touched; counter-tops, the traps themselves, the spring-loaded doors, windowsills, bathroom surfaces, etc.!!! Best of luck, and hope this helps!

Revised - We have now had 100% failure - 8 out of 8 have all brokenThe original 2 Authenzo still work.We thought these were pretty good for the price.They are similar to the Authenzo, but the Authenzo are more sturdy.We bought a 2 pack of Authenzo in 2018 and 2 of the 4 packs of the Kat Sense in 2019.We have have them in multiple locations and rotate them.Revised - all 8 are broken3 of the 8 Kat Sense have broken door springs, the 2 Authenzo are still going strong.But they are so inexpensive it isn't a huge deal.We aren't talking rats or big mice. We have tiny little deer mice, the occasional shrew or vole.The crawl space next to the garage is on bedrock and dirt, so they are mostly tunneling in.We live in the country so we drive them a few miles away and release them.We do not put the bait in the pocket made for bait.It is sealed from the mouse chamber and they don't have access to eat it.We put peanut butter on cracker pieces and glue them to the back side.It is kind of fiddly, but that way they can eat it and be alive the next morning.The only other down side to this kind of trap is that sometimes the mouse tail gets caught in the door.It is gross, but doesn't seem to slow the mice down any. They have been plenty perky on release.

I bought the 4 pack of these humane mouse traps and caught a mouse on the first night I set them. I did not read the instructions prior to putting the bait in the trap. The removable door with the holes is designed to house the bait between the sides and the recommended bait is peanut butter. I placed the peanut butter directly inside the trap on the flap next to the bait door. I believe this led to the mouse getting her tail caught in the door as she did not have to go in far enough for her tail to clear. Had I put the bait IN THE BAIT DOOR like the instructions indicated I believe the mouse would've cleared the door with her tail. The mouse survived (with a kink in her tail) as I heard the trap snap and freed her tail immediately. She has been released into a field a few miles from my house.These traps are not the easiest to clean because they do not come completely apart as far as I can tell. I don't know if they are dishwasher safe, but I don't have a dishwasher. I soaked them in hot soapy water then used a bottle brush to clean the nooks and corners and they came clean.Overall these are exactly what I was looking for in a humane mouse trap. Easy to use, effective, and humane. $5 per trap for a product that is built well and should last quite a while is a fair price. I am happy with my purchase.

I loved these traps the first 2 weeks I had them. I relocated 8 mice…. But then come week 3 and 4 they stopped working. At first they stopping getting in them so I moved them to a different room. I had caught 1 and I went to take a shower and then I was going to get dressed and relocate it 2 miles away… well I got out of the shower and the release door was open. I guess the smart mice told all its friend the trick because after that I would find the traps with mouse droppings in them but the door would be just open enough for the mouse to get out. I love the idea of these traps but after a few weeks my mice got to smarts for them.

The media could not be loaded. Me encantó pude atrapar al ratoncito que llevaba alrededor de un mes detrás de un mueble y sin lastimarlo. Me tarde 3 días porque era muy veloz, dos veces se salió de la trampa llevándose su quesito pero a la 3a. Lo logré. Y ya una vez atrapado lo llevé a un parque y lo solté en la naturaleza. Se fue feliz.

En menos de 5 horas atrapó al ratón.Puse trozos de jamón y los puse dentro de las trampas, no en la parte dedicada a poner la carnada, sino dentro de la trampa, hasta el fondo. Y en menos de 5 horas atrapó al intruso. Puse las trampas muy cerca de donde solíamos ver al ratón.La única desventaja es que mientras el ratón está atrapado, hace del baño dentro de la trampa. Y huele muy feo. Sugiero que después de desocupar la trampa (de que liberaron al ratón lejos de su casa), laven y desinfecten la trampa, para que la puedan volver a tocar con las manos sin problemas.

Used to catch mice humanely as I just couldn’t kill them. So this trap doesn’t hurt them at all and I get to relocate them far into the woods away from here

Excelente artículo, estas trampas las dejamos siempre puestas y cuando pensamos que solo había un ratón, en un lapso de 4 meses ya hemos capturado 3 ratones.

This product does not work for mice. It takes a much heavier weight to trigger the door closer. Over several nights the mice have taken bait out of all four traps and not one has been captured. I have used almost identical products in the past (until they broke) and they worked every time. I'd give no stars but that doesn't seem to be an option.
