Catchmaster Rat & Mouse Glue Traps 6 Pack, Large Heavy Duty Sticky Traps

Will catch all sorts of critters and rats. Quite effective. But be warn, it's extremely sticky. Put in a spot you won't accidentally step on. Keep away from small children and pets.

I bought these multiple times to catch rodents in my garage and prevent them from nesting in my cars. I deploy 2-3 traps at a time, and put a single shelled peanut in the middle and I usually catch a mix of 5-6 mice and rats as summer turns to fall as I think they seek indoor nests as fall begins. It also catches roaches and spiders. Very affective. Consider putting them someplace with overhead cover, like under raised shelving, as dust can settle on the surface of the adhesive and make it less effective. Also, you may want to tape a piece of string to the underside of the trap to help retrieve it, since a rat can thrash around and move the trap several feet.

My father was pretty sure he had a rat in his 8'x8' walk-in closet. The evidence was regular droppings found on the floor and that it started eating through one corner of the carpet, including the padding and wood under it. At first, he thought it was a mouse, but it had easily set off and escaped from about 6 of them over the course of a few days. I decided to get him these glue traps as another option based on the high rating combined with thousands of reviews. He received the traps around 11 AM today, set up 4 of them in the closet, locked the closet door, and waited. When he checked the closet at 9:30 PM, the rat was struggling to get out of the trap, but it was futile. I won't go into the details of how he killed the rat (but you should realize that this trap doesn't do that for you), but he did get some measure of revenge for the damage caused by this creature. These traps are easy to set up and use, plus they are safe to have inside the home. However, you have to keep in mind that there is a very strong adhesive on these traps, so just about anything coming in contact with them will get stuck. My father learned this the hard way, when a hand towel happened to fall on one of the traps. He was eventually able to remove it, but a good amount of the towel stayed stuck to the trap. The 6-pack of traps we got cost $16. For how easy it was to set up, plus how well and how quickly it worked, I'd say it's a great value. Please note, however, that once a rat (or towel, for that matter) gets caught in one of these traps, I can't see a way for that trap to be reused. At the relatively low cost of these traps, that's a tradeoff I'm willing to live with, though.

This worked so quickly. I had one mouse trapped in my fireplace. I taped up my fireplace so it couldn't get out and laid that down inside. it got caught probably within 30 minutes. The bad thing..it was caught and still alive. so what do you do?

I don’t usually have a problem with mice. But every once in a great while there’s one that needs taken care of. My first choice are the old fashioned wooden snap traps with the metal bar. I prefer something quick and easy. However, they don’t always work. These Catchmaster sticky traps do. I had a mouse who would not set off any wooden traps. A couple of these traps at I caught it in one night. There’s no odor, no worry about stains or messes. Catch easy. And they don’t really cost you an arm and a leg. These work particularly well in spots where you know a mouse would travel. There’s no lure to these traps, but if you lay them in the path of travel then they’re sure to step on them. Anytime I’ve ever had to use these traps, they’ve had a 100% success rate. You really can’t go wrong.

It worked. I've never had to use anything like this so the reviews were very helpful in choosing the bait. I had an early morning flight Friday, and so I put the trap out with peanut butter in the middle right before leaving. I couldn't bear hearing it squirming and squealing. Arrived back home Sunday morning and the critter was trapped. Happy the product worked so quickly. Update: After throwing out the first trap, I placed a second trap in the same place. I was ready to throw it away because after several months I didn't catch anything and the peanut butter looked like it was getting moldy. Thankfully, I didn't move it. I caught a mouse but left the trap down about 2wks to be sure it was dead. Right when I was ready to pick it up, it trapped another mouse. Sheesh, now I need to wait another two weeks (I'm deathly afraid of these things and if the mouse moves while I'm picking it up, I don't know what I'd do). While mouse number 2 is squealing extremely loud, it must have summoned its friend for help. Now, I have mouse number 3. This is too much for me. Mouse number 3 is hanging off the side of the trap. My Lord! I may need to pay someone to remove the trap. My building offers free exterminator services and everyone must be getting the holes closed in their apartments. Now all of the mice are being directed to the one or one of the few holes that are left open. I haven't had the time to take advantage of these services but I'll get it together soon and hopefully these mice don't begin to smell up my apartment.

We purchased these rat and mouse glue traps, put them around the house due to we have rats since we live behind a protected preserve and we get all kinds of animals. We never caught one mouse or rat with these glue traps, we did find droppings around the traps. They were very sticky and easy to use. Wish I could give it a 5 star.

It works! You just have to know where the mouse is going to go but it definitely works. I put these traps out as soon as I got them. Unfortunately, I saw the mouse run past it and go under my fridge. But, once I knew he was under there, I surrounded the base of the fridge with all the traps. About 20 minutes later he tried escaping and got stuck in one of the traps. I didn't want to see him suffer so I put him, and the trap, in a bag and hit him with something hard to put him out of his misery. That part was not fun but I'm so happy it's gone now!

These worked very well. Took care of my mouse problem at the cottage in just a few days.

these are the only traps that work for me in my rural country home, you can catch multiple mice if you remove the caught ones, and just put it back out, even used traps can collect many mice i've found

These things work really well. We caught a mouse the first night we set the traps. We have probably caught about 10 mice in our house with these traps in the last month. The only thing is, the mice are usually still alive and you will likely find them when you hear their squeaking. You’ll need to put the whole trap (with the live mouse on it) in a bag and take care of it. If you can stomach that, then these are great. Also, be careful about placement if you have small children.

First time dealing with rat infestation and right away this was catching all the baby rats very quickly I had in my house. The larger rat however got caught in it on 2 occasions and managed somehow to get free. I will warn anyone who is new to this like me these traps can be a little nasty. They dont kill them they just stick to them so they squirm and scream when you catch them. A few traps i had were hidden under furniture and they suffered for a few days until I found them. Best thing I found to do with them afterwards was place in a bag, trap and all and then put them behind the wheel of my truck and run them over rather than leave them to suffer.

Like the smaller version, these work well
