Product Description
Mouse & Chipmunk Trap HT-2 If you have chipmunks in your attic or mice in your basement this is the low cost live catch trap for you. Try our Nutter Butter bait to increase your catch rate. You can eliminate a mouse infestation problem and get rid of chipmunks with this trap. It is extremely easy to use. The metal trip pan is so sensitive that when even a small mouse steps on it the door will drop and trap the mouse. The trap measures 10 1/2" long by 5 1/2" wide by 4 1/2" high. The bait is placed at the back of the trap behind the pan. When the rodent steps on the pan attempting to reach the bait, the door closes and a steel bar locks it in place. The trap is easily opened to release the rodent. Use this trap for mice and chipmunks. How to get rid of mice Discovering evidence that a mouse has invaded your home can be quite upsetting. Mice are mostly nocturnal, so they are not likely to be seen unless the infestation is severe. Mice often leave behind droppings in kitchen cabinets, pantries, drawers, and any other place they may have gone in search of food. It is important to close off the source of entry and eliminate any mice currently within the home. Where there is one mouse there is likely to be more. According to the website article "Controlling House Mice", published by the University of Missouri, a female mouse has between five and ten litters per year with about five or six babies in each litter. The young are capable of reproducing at the age of six weeks. A mouse infestation can easily get out of control if not dealt with as soon as it is recognized. "Controlling House Mice" says that a mouse is capable of getting through an opening only one quarter of an inch wide. It is important to check for openings where mice can gain entry. If you live in a mobile home or have a crawl space, check around plumbing pipes inside cabinets for spaces mice can get in.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good quality, poor trigger layout,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Live Mouse & Chipmunk Trap (Kitchen)
This item is sturdy enough for mice(you won't be having any mice escape once caught). I can't vouch for anything larger than mice. Just keep in mind this is for small critters so it's a thin metal mesh type material(flexible).It is also Easy to bait and setup However, the major downside to this product is how the trap is laid out in the cage. You can't really get a good view from the current pictures, but the actual trigger is an isosceles trapezoid. While the shape isn't a huge deal the fact that the ends of the trigger don't even meet the sides of the cage is an issue. So basically you have a trigger that mice can literally walk around and grab the bait if not placed just right. So if you place the bait at the high point of the trigger mice can grab it without setting it off unless you use some type of sticky residue. If you put the bait too far back, then the mouse can just walk around the trigger and happily trot away with some food. If you put it in the middle it depends on house the mouse approaches the trigger. If he tries from the front(which is the end suspended in the air, then he will trigger it. If he decides to go from behind he again can get the bait without triggering the trap, unless again you use some type of sticky residue. My point is I shouldn't have to use some type of sticky gunk and hope I got the bait is in the perfect spot for the mouse to trigger the trap. A simple fix for the manufacturer would be to simply make the trigger extend the full width of the cage instead of stopping short of it and leaving two gaps on either side. As we all know mice can get through the smallest of openings. Also, there's a very easy fix for those who already have purchased this. If you simply get a piece of cardboard and cut it to the width of the cage and leave it to be about 2-3 inches long you can make a nice little ramp which is taped to the trigger end suspended in the air. By doing this you guarantee the mouse has to walk over the ramp before even getting to the bait.

If you don't want to kill the mouse in your house, BUY THIS.,
This review is from: Live Mouse & Chipmunk Trap (Kitchen)
We bought the Happy Trap Sr. from here on Amazon when we were invaded by a mouse family. They had even set up house-keeping in my piano (whose nest I removed by taking out one key at a time). They were small. They looked adorable from a distance. But they are not healthy to have around; and they are messy house keepers. We went to WalMart and bought 4 of their little humane traps. They didn't work. Then we ordered the one here from Amazon, sent from Maine. It works GREAT! We've caught a mouse every night since setting the trap. The mouse messers are alive and well and out in a park far away. Thank you, AMAZON, for having Happy Traps!

Easy to Use,
By kdweezer (Sparta, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live Mouse & Chipmunk Trap (Kitchen)
I've caught 12 chipmunks already in less than a week (it would be more if I was home on weekdays to release the critters out of my ONE trap). This REALLY works - I just bait it with a nut and berry birdfeed. It is easy to use and the rodents can't get enough. We are certainly getting them moved from our house (under our concrete and inside our A/C) into the country!
