They didn't put it through the the hole, they remove the bottom then put it in. This is so fake, you can't tell if it works if they don't use a real mouse.
How could a mouse kill me? With tiny little nibbles? I mean, I get it, diseases and such, but they don't WILLINGLY carry diseases. At least if you can release them somewhere very far they won't come back to bother you, diseased or not. :)
+Frederick Dunn Ok... follow up.. I've had three of these set up in three separate locations known to be frequented by mice... guess how many mice went into these traps? None.. not one.. zip... :( I put different live catch traps in the same location and caught mice right away... these traps just don't work for me anyway.. maybe I lave lazy mice?
+Frederick Dunn Fred, that's interesting every now and then we somebody that isn't catching mice, but for each person that doesn't do well we get 10 positive feedbacks. I'm beginning to think there are some mice that don't want to jump down that far, we had one gentleman that put a block on the inside to catch a troublesome mouse. He sent me a picture of the mouse on the block. It made no effort to try to get out. He had caught 5 other mice the first night. We had one guy catch 9 in one night.
+Mark McMurray Hi Mark.. I'm glad they are working for someone and based on your statistics, I'm definitely in the minority apparently. I will continue to place them.. I use game cameras to monitor trap locations so I know if mice are or are not in the area. They ignore the BestMouseTrapEver design and that's too bad, I really like the concept. If I get some good results, I'll be glad to post about it... for now, at least our deer mice aren't going to it. If you're getting 9 out of 10 reporting success, then it's working for them.
We have a customer that bought one for this club house and regularly catches 4-8 mice each week, sets it on sunday and the mice are still alive the following weekend. He puts the water in the trap like we instructed, as you can keep mice alive a few weeks with the water.
We received this nice comment from one of our customers. "Thanks to the BestMouseTrapEver, we have now moved 6 field mice out of our basement and back into the field, where they belong. Most were trapped in the first day we set the trap in their path. As a do-it-yourselfer, I am impressed-your product is well designed, easy to clean, doesn't kill anything, and most important, it CATCHES MICE! Regards, Art in MT"
Awesome trap ! I love the mesh design, it allows it to sink quickly in a 5 gallon bucket of boiling hot water after its all filled up with mice, then its all rinsed clean in one step ! thumbs up !
Great design, but yes, large. Perfect for outdoor things like sheds, coops, etc, but maybe a skinnier one for indoors? I REALLY like that it has two chambers for food AND water. Mice can severely dehydrate (to the point of no return and a horrible death) just within 24 hours of not having water and it's easy to get busy and forget to check your mouse trap for one day, especially if you have to have it set up long term. Those two chambers ensure that this really IS a humane trap. I hope you make a smaller "indoor" version for market. Maybe try Shark Tank? lol
+Mazzy Black It's not really as large as it appears, it's 11" tall with an 8" diameter. Looks much larger in the video. There is a video on www.bestmousetrapever.com showing the trap actually catching mice.
Mice are very intelligent. They experience time in slow motion compared to humans. Their time in a cage can be very traumatic. After capture, talk affectionately to the mouse with affectionate gestures. Get to your release point quick. Be conscious of your sounds and demeanor. Give encouraging sounds or speaking to the mouse as you open the door. Should make for a fun experiment.
+Mark Greer Yeah, and make a small backpack, put in a peanut or two. Best if raw with no spices. Then take the mice far away from your home, but release it near a good looking house making sure it will find its natural habitat (which is a house). Now a good looking home is important because it wont be safe with poor people, they might not have live traps to do as respectable as you just did, may have a cat or they might even try to eat it themselves!
It all depends on where you release them, doesn't it? What imbecile would release them in woods or a meadow adjacent to their property? Surely they would just come back and get caught over and over. I live in the Southwest, lots of desert. I have to travel a little daily so I take them with me about 8 miles out, and release them. In this area, they fend for themselves quite easily, but it is more likely that they become dinner for rattlesnakes. Either way, the mouse's life force is not wasted by being killed and dropped in a dumpster.
Very nice. I am going to make one out of a 5 gallon plaster container. Home made and humanitarian. Can also be put into a closet, the attic, and crawlspace/basement. Coming soon on my channel.
I also like em to be kept alive so I can shoot them with my BB gun. The screen part is fabulous because .177 caliber pellets and BBs fit right through.
you could do an electric fence type thing use a second wire screen on it & electrify the inner screen. but just give it enough juice to knock em back to try it again !!!
This mousetrap works great. We caught 3 mice so far. The square mouse is just to show you how it works. I don't think there was going to be a bunch of live mice lining up to audition for the video.
It's an ok trap... Plastic will get chewed through if you catch a Rat. (Design flaw) Cone funnel Tube trap made with 1/4" wire mesh is the original version best ever trap.
Had a customer catch 4 mice in a trap saturday morning and catch 5 mice in the same trap sunday morning. The gentleman has caught over 80 mice in one shed in the last few months.
i love live capture traps and think that traps that kill and/or poison should be banned. one of the most awful things I have seen is a poisoned mouse, twitching and breathing but not really moving much. I hate things being killed. including accidentally killing that can happen in other live capture traps if you leave it a bit too long. this trap is keeping them alive and with food and water so it can be left a little longer and is perfect. WHY DOES EVERYONE NOT HAVE AT LEAST ONE?!?!?
they are rodents. they destroy property and spread disease. if you don't kill them, they will return and produce more offspring and continue to cause issues. Live traps are useless.
oh poor mouse! One of the most awful things I have seen was my neighbor (HUMAN) gasping for air in a hospital bed because his lungs were full of fluid as a result of HANTAVIRUS transmitted to him via these mice that you are so passionate about. Live traps do NOTHING to control rodent population. You keep being concerned about rodents of the world while the other people around you are protecting you and your family by exterminating mice.
I also like em to be kept alive so I can shoot them with my BB gun. The screen part is fabulous because .177 caliber pellets and BBs fit right through.
The last one was a bit messy, I used hollow point slug (Diabolo) the next day during a routine tidy up I found it's nose with whiskers still on lmao :)

Anyone who will free a mouse or a rat has never had one eating his or her nose while they slept.
mice do not bite a human or another animal. stupid comment. rats yes. the scare me. but u can buy a pet rat and this pet rat will not let other rats come into your hous or try to bite u.
They actually do but instead nibble on your toes, when you hurt them and escape they will come back at night for they're revenge and this is true I've tried it.
I have 4 of these mouse traps...and 2 additional "Norway rat" larger size....this product, shown in video is the BEST....I have caught 5 in one trap more than once. While the "Norway rat' size is better for chipmunks ....BOTH are extremely good products. Incidently....I do have one in my living room....each to his own.
Maybe she got in a petrol burning car and wasted valuable resources to release it? It would be very stupid, but that doesn't mean animal rights folks wouldn't do it.
+knockerccd I met the inventor of this trap, he suggested to microwave peanut utter until is is runny and add cracked corn. Works great! caught several in the same trap. looks like they had a party!.. I did not turn loose. did not want to have to catch them again.
As I survey all the different traps I don't see any of the more recent winners like the one designed by the Minnesota inventor. You see them in every hardware store. They seem to supplant the old spring loaded snappers because of their ease of baiting, ease of setting(just pinch) and release the corpse with a pinch. But i don't see them on here.
They multiply so Quickly that it wouldn't even matter if even 20 or more were destroyed daily by just one individual, look into the problem Australia had with em, some 40 years or so ago, it was unbelievable..
update.....since receiving my (4) traps...I catch an average of 3 to 5 little mice a day.....wonderful product...the special yummy mouse bait works wonderfully well...they don't seem able to resist its smell or taste.....THANK YOU AGAIN....I will be ordering the RAT/CHIPMONK....version also....I AM NOW GUILT FREE FROM HAVING TO HURT THESE LITTLE CREATURES....AND THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.....also, the wild creatures Fox/Coyote/Hawk/Owls/Bob cat etc. that are living in the woods are blessed by your product.
And their babies ! , when i was young I had a pregnant mouse , it was winter time and we lived in a very cold house , pre central heating , I was very worried about her so I placed her in a small biscuit tin with plenty of bedding in front of the coal fire . Shortly she began to deliver and eat all of her babies ! I thought that I was being kind , learned my lesson that day .
Mark McMurray I used to have pet mice. The only reason they would drop that far is if they failed to gauge its distance. And since they don't have the best eyesight, I wouldn't be surprised.
Most will handle a 2.5 meter drop without injury, but they can still suffer injuries from much shorter heights depending on how they land. If it was a flat surface, then most of the time they'll be fine. But, as I already pointed out, they have a vertical separator waiting for them at the very bottom. THAT is the problem. The terminal velocity for a mouse that weighs about 15 grams is a little over 9 ft/sec. That bar is the equivalent of a 2x4 whacking them in a concentrated area of their bodies. Doubtful enough to cause injuries every time they drop, but I wouldn't put money on it.
Cabhan Listis I know one one mouse, (stub tailed field mouse), that has been caught in the same trap over 20 times....beats a smack on the back of the head!
Its a wonderful and humane mouse trap to be sure but I could simply buy a 5 gal bucket with lid from my local home improvement center (about $4) and wrap 1/2" hardware screen around the outside ($9 for a whole roll) and drill a 3/4" hole in the lid and essentially have the same thing for a lot less ($20 plus shipping)... or else make at least 3 of them for the same price. Okay so it wouldn't look as nice... This whole trap is really big and bulky but its worth is to prevent an animal (yes even rodents) from suffering unnecessarily and that makes this mouse trap the best.
+monomer2 It's not as big as it appears. It's 11" tall with an 8" diameter. The bucket would not be as effective, as the air currents won't allow the bait odor to be dispersed. Once one mouse enters this trap it actually attracts other mice. I don't it will work as well. I lot of time was spent coming up with a design to capture these features.
Will it catch rats? And will the mice get wise to it? When they see their buddy trapped in there will they stay away? Need night vision camera set up to see if they learn to fear it.
For all of you that say rats cant fit in the trap its not true they can fit in the trap, its just the fur that makes them big they can fit threw tight spaces..
+Claudette Robb Ross mice have spines they ribs are tucked in between the spine so when they are going to squeeze through a hole if the head can fit the rest of the body can cuz the ribs tightens and makes them smaller
+Nicholas Hendsbee through? I went through the door into the grammar class to learn to spell. I threw the baseball and struck out the batter then went to grammar class.
up date on "BEST MOUSE TRAP EVER".... I leave three outside and one in doors.....this morning Sept. 20, 2016, I had 4 mice in one trap.....took to the woods, for the hawks and ffox......when I arrived back home this afternoon, three more in my indoor trap....again....took to the woods for freedom and adventure : ) WONDERFUL PRODUCT...THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HUMANE INVENTION...and by the way...I heard a "commotion" one evening, when I went outside to check my mouse trap it was being "punted" about the yard with a mouse inside. I have an aggressive hound dog who wanted a snack, my cats are a little "miffed" because the mice are getting into the traps faster than they can catch them. In spite of the game of "mouse ball"...your trap had NO damage...so well made.
instead of wasting time on those traps, how about you take a deep and smooth ceramic bowl, fill it with oil, then put some piece of food on the string and make some sort of ramp that unexpectedly falls down once the mouse goes to the end of the ramp, but set up the food with string close to the ramp, so the mouse would try to reach for it, but he would fall into the bowl of oil, then he would get all slippery and he wouldnt be able to get out unless you want it to
le meme i saw a video of some woman making a ''bowl of oil mouse trap'' she found 3 stupid mice in there trying to escape, but those mice shined like spilled kerosene on a road
At home i got very cleaver rat that came from window , never eats anything inside trap or on plate and below anything . I tried many things like plastic bottles, cages ,buckets and snap but none of them is success. so is there any way to catch it?
While we were developing the trap my partner had a stub tailed field mouse that he kept catching over and over....it was caught over 10 times, wasn't release far and would always be back in about a week. It finally stop showing up, probably got caught by a predator.
I not a cruel animal killer but the snap traps are the best. And releasing Mice and Rats in foreign areas almost always kills them also. So why drag it's death out?
I thought I saw a video on this channel explaining why bucket traps don't work because how high mouse can jump. Now wouldn't there be good chances they can jump right out of that hole after so many failed attempts at climbing the side? I saw rats jump higher than that also. I think that hole can be more of funnel shape on the top and the bottom greased well right in the middle.
+dokkiro When mice jump they look similar to a squirrel jumping, they put their feet our in front and wide so they can grasp something. If their head is inside the hole, their feet are outside, they tumble back in. Not saying on occasion a mouse might hit the whole perfect, but it would be rare....most of the time we have observed that they just give up and eat some food.
+dokkiro they "can" jump high enough.. particularly the deer mice... BUT they have nothing to grab onto, so jumping doesn't help them with this design based on the videos posted. I have no direct experience with trapped mice in these systems...
The people who release mice do realize they are just killing them slower right? It is like setting a dog free in the forest. They are domesticated, both dog and mouse. The will not have a chance one reason. You release them somewhere a mouse can live. And they do already. They are the ones who drive off your city mouse, and it will die. Just be kinder and kill it when you catch it.
it's easy; take them by the tail and whack them against a big post, it's done in an instant. I learned it when feeding owls at a center where they did NOT want visitors seeing the owls eating the mice alive.
this is awesome, I totally want this, but I am going to make it instead of buying, only I want to use it to catch RATS mainly and if a mouse gets in that is ok to (heeheee)
+Chick A. Biddy if you really want it to be humane then you should set and bait for either one or the other because .. rats will go out of their way to snap up them little mousies

I'm sorry I said anything about the subject. I gave it as some advice but like I was told, there are people who never take advice from others. So I'll not say anything else. I'd don't want to interfere with your chosen direction. Good luck.
I made a similar trap, except I used a plastic bucket and a small tube about 4 inches right in the middle , on top, so they can get in. I see mice droppings in bottom of the bucket and the bait is gone they're getting out....how can they do this ? Should I lubricate the sides of the bucket with oil maybe ? Thanks.
