Customer Reviews for Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap

I set up the Catchmaster 612 Mutli-Catch Mouse Trap (with a spoonful of peanut butter) along the wall where I had seen mice running and in just two days I had both mice in the trap. I was clearly able to see the mice through the window on top of the trap. No blood and no guts! I freed the little devils back into the wild.

Well, yes, I caught a mother and baby mouse in one night with cheese, but when I waited another night for the rest of the family to join them they had figured a way out. So this patent does not seem to be all that clever as compared with mice intelligence!

  Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! Mice are very cautious about new things in their environment. It is suggested when using a trap for mice, that it is not disturbed for 2 weeks. After a while, they will begin to investigate so it is best to leave it for at least 2 weeks before moving it to another area or before making any conclusions on the product's effectiveness. Also, please check out the product video on this page for tips and instructions on effective use.

Got one of these and yes they do work very well. I used mine outside to keep the mice at bay on my patios near my outdoor kitchen during the winter months. In a single weekend I caught 8 mice. The only problem is not with the design of the trap as it does exactly as it advertises, they can't get out once there in. But mice are extremely cannibalistic especially under stressed survival situations. So it was so gross inside the trap that I ended up throwing it way because there was no way I was going to clean that out! Definitely will buy a few more to replace it with.

I ordered your Catchmaster 612. The reason I needed it was I rescued 3 baby mice that the parents deserted when I tore down the shed and when I was feeding them one jumped (apparently in their flea stage!!), and darted off under the entertainment center. There he remained and lived for about 2 weeks. My dog alerted me that he had moved under the kitchen queen at which point I grabbed up the catcher, down on my belly on the floor and there he was. Placing the catcher in a strategic position I encouraged him to move forward and BAM he went right into the catcher. I was able to save him and return him to his siblings out in the barn, their new home!!! Thank you.

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!

Every time we get mice in our house they head straight to our silverware drawer, which is pretty gross. This trap catches mice every night. I have never caught more than one at a time, but this week I've caught three. I would recommend this trap to anyone.

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.

Within a few days we had caught our house guest. It is wonderful, because you can see inside without opening the lid. We took him down to the park and released him. My son initially wanted to just set a kill trap but once he saw him, he was glad he didn't.

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.

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.

Useless. Very thin metal construction. Mice squeeze out.

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.

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.

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.

We use Catchmaster 612 in the area where we store our dog & cat food. Little kritters love to get in the bins where the food is stored. With the 612, we have been able to control the situation and do not have to worry about whether one of our animals in getting any poison or anything that could be dangerous to them. It is a wonderful efficient device - a lot easier than trying to set traps.

I had great hopes for the two traps I purchased. I baited the traps with corn and dog kibbles and did catch a mouse in one trap. The trap door on the other was bent as if a mouse had gotten out. I bent the flap back and I have not caught any more mice out of either trap. In the same house I have caught seven mice in regular mouse traps. Mice are still there, just don't go in the "catchmasted". I am not at the farm every day and got the live traps so the dead mice would not smell up the house. I am not happy with the results of the 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 !!

The Catchmaster 612 worked really well - for a month. I caught 30 mice, sometimes 4 in one night, and I was happy to release them out in the woods. Then the mice got smart. They have now somehow figured out how to get in, get the bait (dog kibble and sunflower seeds) and get out. The trap still looks in perfect condition, like the day I bought it but it doesn't do its job anymore. Now it is just a mouse feeding station. And it cost nearly $20 with the tax.

However, they can escape it. I used the mice sticky pads, as I had no attention of releasing the mice back into the wild to breed more mice. The sticky pads caught a few....but a few have escaped after being caught. Several times I though the sticky pads had caught one...only to find that an hour later that mouse was off the sticky pad and in the "run-in" tube....and somehow several mice have found a way out. They can't have lifted the lid....so they must have found a way out where they came in. I'm still not sure how they do this...but some mice seem to be able to enter...eat and then leave. And some mice do not seem to get fully stuck on the sticky pads. If you really want a live trap...and not hurt them...this sorta works. I wanted to be able to dump the sticky pad in the trash with the mice stuck to it....and that's a 50/50 kind of thing. About 50% do not get stuck...and 30% escape the trap on their own...after hours of running around on the inside.

Mice can coming and go as if they live in it. I have put some peanut butter inside this trap. They seem to have enjoy the peanut butter and left even big mice drops behind. It's either mice at my home has a brain like human knows how to break-out or this trap isn't working.

Had to make repairs to my Catchmaster when I got it. Seems to work okay now, but I have not had much success with it.

I guess the original is made of better quality. This catchmaster feels weak and I'm afroid a mouse may escape if it is a little grown up!
