Frequently Asked Questions
Is this trap humane?+
Yes. It catches mice and rats alive, with no poison, snap bars, or glue, so they can be released away from the home unharmed.
How does it work?+
Bait the sliding lid and set it on a 5-gallon bucket. A rodent steps onto the cover to reach the bait, the cover flips and drops it into the bucket, then resets itself for the next catch.
Does it come with a bucket?+
No. The trap is the lid and ladders. It fits any standard 5-gallon bucket, which is not included.
How many rodents can it hold?+
Up to 20 mice or 10 or more rats between empties, so it keeps working without constant resetting.
Does it reset on its own?+
Yes. After each catch the lid returns to position automatically, ready for the next rodent.
Can it catch rats too?+
Yes. It handles mice and medium-sized rats.
How is it cleaned and reused?+
The lightweight ABS lid rinses clean and can be reused again and again.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 33 reviews.
Set it up in the garage with a bit of peanut butter on the ramp. Caught two mice the first night. Really impressed with how simple the whole thing is.
We liked the first one so much we ordered another. It's nice to be able to carry the mice away from the house and release them outside somewhere. Really good humane option.
We had mouse activity in the attic and the snap traps weren't doing it — the mice were eating the bait without setting them off. Tried these bucket traps baited with sunflower seeds and peanut butter and caught 3 mice the very first night. Dabbed a tiny bit of peanut butter on the ramp and that seemed to do the trick. Taking one star off because the parts feel a bit cheaply made and took some fiddling to snap together, but they work great once assembled.
Had a mouse problem in the basement for weeks. Tried everything. Set this up with peanut butter and caught three in two days. No mess, no dead mice to deal with. Just take the bucket outside and release them. Highly recommend.
works perfectly in the shed. caught 4 mice in the first week. the flip ramp design is clever and the mice don't seem to suspect anything until it's too late
we have a farmhouse and mice are just part of life out here. this trap has been the easiest solution we've found. reusable, no smell, no mess. ordered two more
Works well overall. The ramp took a little adjusting before it would flip properly but once set up right it caught mice consistently. Just needed a bit of patience with assembly.
I was skeptical at first because it looks pretty simple but it genuinely works. Caught several mice without any fuss. Much better than dealing with snap traps or poison.
Does the job. Caught a few mice in the first week. The bucket is a decent size and easy to carry to release them. Would have given 5 stars but the lid felt a little flimsy.
Didn't want snap traps around my cats. This was the perfect solution. Mice go in, cats can't get to them, I release them in the field behind us. Works exactly as described.
clever design. mice walk up the ramp, flip into the bucket and can't get back out. baited with sunflower seeds. caught three the first night. really solid product
love that it's humane. I couldn't bring myself to use snap traps and poison felt wrong with pets in the house. this is the perfect solution and it actually works
Took a couple of nights to catch the first one but after that it worked consistently. Good product for the price. Assembly is a little fiddly but not a dealbreaker.
