Customer Reviews for Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap

I had a tiny mouse scurrying around and driving my dog crazy so I bought the spin traps at my local store. No success. So I thought why not be more humane about this and baited the Catchmaster with peanut butter and pinon. Success ! My only complaint is the trap seems a little flimsy but it works !!

Mice only go near it when it is open. Not one mouse has fallen for this trap ,very disappointing!

For weeks there was no activity with this. After a few weeks it turned into a feeding station. Mice were clearly going in, eating the sunflower seeds inside and leaving. It's acting like a free banquet hall for mice. Clearly defective and not keeping them in.

We realized we had a mouse problem in our finished basement. We set 6 of these traps with bait in them along know traffic areas along walls (we put them where we saw droppings). We left them for over a week. Nothing, the bait was still there, so they weren't getting in and out. Then we thought maybe we were wrong about the mouse droppings, to be sure we just bought some traditional old victor mouse traps. Set 4 traps in different areas. The next morning? 4 dead mice in the victor traps. It's now been 3 weeks since then, we probably caught about 20 mice in total, and we got nothing the past few days, so it's looking like we cleared them out, still going to keep traps set for awhile. In that whole time, we left the catchmaster traps placed. They caught nothing in the month since we initially set them. My wife repackaged them and is returning them.

Love this thing. The clear "observation" window makes checking them a breeze.

So far so good - catching lots of mice. Might take a few days to get started but it works!

Be sure to use a heavy duty glue pad. Mice can escape the same way they get in. Although the trap door is suppose to close locking them in, they can escape easily. Also some of my traps that I ordered do not lock shut requiring tape to keep them closed. Disappointed since I used these before.

I work in the food industry and these are the same traps that are very popularly used in food processing areas of most for manufacturers.

Caught a mouse in the morning. Before I could take somewhere to release it. He somehow broke one of the trap doors and escaped. I now call him Houdini. 1st time trying it no longer usable. Waste of money.

I just ordered my second Catchmaster. (No one has been to visit it yet.... but they will! My first one I used for about a year. Worked great! I'm an animal lover and can't bring myself to kill even a spider, so this was just what I needed. I caught and released about 2 dozen of the little darlings! After a while, though, the trap doors started to stick, allowing them to come in, eat and get back out. Couldn't figure out how to fix it, so threw it out and got a new one.

Had it out for 1 week. The mice did not go near it. I even tempted them with putting pieces of cheese on the floor of the trap. I watched my dog chase one of the mice out of the closet and he almost caught it. I think he will probably catch one before I see any in the trap.

I did pest control for several years. I had never used a catch and release trap but after using this one I'm sad I didn't. I caught seven in the first night and two the second night. No more using poison and worrying if my animals get in it.

This trap works effectively. It makes what could be an unpleasant job feel like a fishing trip. The clear plastic top makes it easy to determine whether or not mice have been caught. It has the added benefit of being able to catch multiple mice in 1 setting.

This trap didn't work for me. I've had it out for about 3 weeks and none of the mice have gone in it. At first I tried special bait gel from this site but after it didn't work and pest control came out he put peanut butter in it instead. Still no takers. I don't think the mice can get into the box maybe? Like they don't weigh enough to push down on the door to get in it.

Great trap at half the price of local stores! I keep birds, so have to be very careful with poisons. These are slim enough to place under my cages, between the grill and the seed tray. I bait with peanut butter and have nearly INSTANT results!

The best way to catch mice, versus traps. I don't release my mice so they can come back in.

I have recommended the style of trap for years, because it works beautifully. But this year, two or three of my mice figured it out! They came in, ate the peanut butter, and left! I still recommend this, because it works so well, for so long. I just now need to change it up a bit!

This the best multiple mouse trap I've bought. I do a catch and release and you can see the little guys through the clear top. Got a family of 5 my first night of use. Easy to open for release. I'm buying more.

Purchased this trap, along with Victor traps with yellow area on top and Catchmaster sticky paper; the latter to monitor insect activity. 3 of these multitraps were placed with opening along wall where a mouse was seen. After approx 2 wks have not attracted any mice. Cheese and sticky paper were placed inside. The Victor traps (same cheese) have caught 3 and 3 have happened upon sticky paper. Will continue to monitor and update if anything changes. So far have considered returning.

I needed a safe and poison free mouse trap to use in my quail aviary. We had been overrun with mice and other traps were just not doing the job. I used the thin glue traps with the Catchmaster 612, used peanut butter for bait and caught mice the very first night and every few nights after that! Like the clear view plastic in the lid to see inside and it's very easy to empty. Like them so well I plan on buying more to use around my horse barns, as it will be safe around my horses, dogs and cats and it WORKS!

Look great all metal and then a piece of thin plastic. Really cheap and so far it catches nothing.

It caught three mice right away. Worked well and it's nice that it is reusable.

We live in the country and field mice sneaking in the house are a fact of life. These traps solve the problem. We place them along the baseboard and they just walk right in. We don't even use a bait.

It's a fancy trap but the mice are too smart to get trapped in there, this did not work.

This is a great trap with a window at the top so you can see if you caught any mice. Mice sometimes get into our house and die in the walls making the house smell awful for about two weeks. Catching them live is the only option for us since the smell of mouse decomp starts very fast. We caught two adult mice and an "infant." Very cute but they needed to be relocated since they carry Lyme Disease ticks. I dropped the caught mice off a mile away and they scampered into the forest. Then I hosed out the trap and put it back.

I have 3 of these in use in the house - I like the live traps - seem to work faster when you put food inside - although does work without. easy to release - just open lid ! & take 1/2 mile from house down the driveway. Caught 2 each night last week - has slackened off a bit now ! Hope they stay gone - must work on how they are getting in !!!!! My husband used to say - they return for their snack ! Very pleased with these traps - work better than the wind up ones - that kept getting jammed up. Good price & delivery on time, Nothing to go mechanically wrong with them & last forever.
