Small, Impressive and personally rewarding
Really pleased to find this humane trap.
My cat was a hunting boy living on the streets before he found me & eventually he bought a mouse to play with
- which I rescued - and then thanks to my neighbour-friend who was with me, it ended up trapped in my home for 2 weeks!
I am in a basement flat with no entry/exit points.
I wish I'd found the Trip-Trap sooner!!
He bought in another mouse in this time - and I thought it was the same one he had cornered. So I saved this one, but
then found that 1 of the sunflower seeds that I'd left somewhere had gone missing. So saved 2 mice.
I grew up with rodents as pets, but didn't have mice - DO NOT THINK you can rely on catching mice, like you can other rodents
- they are super-athletes! ...As I have now found.
It is really quite impressive...
This is where the Trip-trap is a beauty.
Just put a little treat inside the trap, before the angle where the door shuts - maybe try a smear of peanut butter if you
need to keep moving the Trip-trap and don't want to dislodge position of food - and also some food at the end of the trap to
entice mice along.
Attach the 2 parts together, if not already done.
On some traps you may find the swing door doesn't flip-shut so effectively - stick on a 2p coin and it works like a charm...
Very little effort & you will feel pleased with yourself for being so clever! - and kind for your effort (I got the tip from
an internet search and found this!)...
There is no need for the cruel traps on the market that leave animals suffering. NOT WHEN THIS WORKS and it is their world too.
Mice are very intelligent, family oriented creatures, just like your pet dog or cat are - so this trap is a godsend to decent
people who realise that it's not the animals' fault that "we" built on their land.
Exactly a reason why these traps were invented.
Poor little frightened mouse can then be released outside easily - and without harm - just by putting trap to the ground &
lifting the door, OR, if it's too scared to move, by gently squeezing the inner connectable joint and gently pulling away from
the overlapping part.
IF you are worried about doing something wrong, leave the Trip-trap outside, somewhere private and/or quiet if possible, with
the swingdoor in upward position and little mouse will find it's way out later when alone and feels safe.
Easy to wash - just use washing up liquid. Rinse. Then spray with anti-bacterial and if instructions advise, rinse again.
I leave to air dry.
Trip-trap is very small (mice are very small) and takes up very little room in utility cupboard, ready for next use.
NO harm was caused to my home, my pet or to me, by mouse (or trap), as hyped by "control" companies. We caught no disease.
There would be dead cats all around the streets if this were the case.
And no harm to little mouse. I just used antibacterial round my home after.
Everybody wins.
If you don't go around licking where the mouse, or any whatever, has been, or sticking your fingers in your mouth after handling,
then you should be ok!! Just like anything else. Just be clean.
Strangely, I kept telling off my cat "No more mice", whenever he went out - and he hasn't brought anything home since!
May be worth a try...
I will definitely be buying another Trip-trap, anyway, just in case.
For the huge sense of reward gained from being kind & compassionate, the relatively small price for this is great value.
It has also inspired me to campaign against/eradicate inhumane traps and discrimination
against rodents.
VERY IMPRESSED. Well done Trip-trap :)Read full review
