Customer Reviews for Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap

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.

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.

So far there isn't any mice trap inside since I got it. Maybe the mice are too smart or the mice couldn't get inside...

  Expert response:
If you haven't had traps very long, then you may need to give the rodents a few days to trust the traps. You can also use a food attractant like peanut butter or pet food on the inside edge of the ramp to help lure mice into the traps.

I have caught no one and nothing in these traps. I was having trouble with a similar trap and thought perhaps the mechanism had broken down. But, no, my mice can get into these, eat the bait and tiptoe out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I used this at a friend's house. He has been trying to get rid of some mice for over a year with no luck. They can be heard in the attic and occasionally spotted running across the floor at night. We put dry cat food in it, checked it two days later and nothing. Haven't had time to try anything else, if we ever get it working we'll update.

  Expert response:
We apologize you have not received the expected results! When trapping mice, trap placement is very important. You want to make sure the trap is placed parallel to a wall directly in the travel path of the mice. Can you tell us how the trap was placed?

Mouse still active, trap is ineffective. Getting tired of looking at it empty.

Bought 4 of these, worked great for awhile, then they all stopped working. Mice took bait and got back out. Now asking for a refund.

I caught a mole in mine but did not remove it. A few days later I went to remove it and it had escaped. I would advise anyone interested in it to stay away as it is not all they claim it to be and is a waste of good money

These traps will not catch all the mice around my home. They do catch moles but then they escape. These traps are useless

I bought these for the purpose of getting rid of the mouse problem . They didn't even go near them, and I tried for 2 weeks. Not what I was hoping for.
