Almost anyone could make one of these. There are holes on 3 sides. Have caught 4 mice in this one since yesterday. I like the easy release/set traps.    |

Heck of a good idea if you have pets round that might get hurt by a trap.
Might try something like this outside for the fruit rats -
with bigger entry holes.
Big enough holes for a rat but not a squirrel.

Great idea. Might have to use this at the cabin. Even to put decon in so it is not out where the pets can get at it.

If my cats fail me this year, I'm doing this. Great idea.

Pretty cool but looks like a mouse obstacle course...LOL.

I did not take a photo of 4 of the traps with a mouse in them.
I was surprised that mice kept going in and getting caught when others were already there.

For a moment there I wondered if the box is big enough for cats.  |

Do not scroll down if you do not want to see how well this trap works. Found these today. Put some disposable gloves on and removed. Then baited traps with more peanut butter. There are 2 mice and a baby rat. The myth is that rats and mice cannot live together. I have them both. These were in my front porch, where I have lots of rocks. OK, if you want to see the evidence, scroll down.  |

Good job! Get 'em all. No issue with the pictures. Heck, I would watch a video of them getting snapped. ;-)

Love the trap for baby rats and mice.
Do not love the remaining rodents in house.
They are preventing me from sleeping. My cat without lower jaw is afraid of the larger ones, so he is needing extra attention.
Critter man is gone for a week, but gave me detailed instructions on things to try.
I hope something works, as I am filling for two co-workers next week. Will be in need of sleep.

Which one is the rat?
Great idea, by the way.

The critter man said it was a baby rat, just going by that.

I figured that was the rat too. It's head is much larger than the others
