Customer Reviews for Mini T-Rex Mouse Trap

These little traps are better than the old fashion ones and safer.  The setup is easy and the bait setup is very good.  It's like a little dish that you unscrew from the bottom, put your bait in, screw it back and you're done.  Don't have to worry about it snapping on my fingers that's always a plus.

Excellent design wife can dispose of mice and reset without getting snapped. Much cleaner use and great design. They have to get caught if they want the bait.

We had been using the basic wood & metal spring traps and found that small mice were able to eat the bait without tripping the trap. When the basic traps did work, it created a mess. The Mini T-Rex was the perfect solution. Even tiny mice cannot avoid the tripping mechanism and we caught 8 mice within a couple of days. It also seems a more humane kill, since all were caught by head or neck, not limbs or torso as often happens with basic traps. Captured mice are easily disposed of by pressing the back lever and we've been reusing traps after sterilizing them with boiling water. We've kept traps out for a couple of weeks with no further catches, so it looks like they were very effective in eliminating the current infestation.

I ordered a case of these, also the little tube of attractant. Works real slick. On the second day I found a mouse snapped. I just opened up the trap over a trash can, then replaced the trap in a mouse run. The bait remained undisturbed, ready for the next customer. There are now few as I am also using FASTRAC. Rodent type evidence is now very slim. It is now the fall of the year and the little critters are beginning to seek warmth and food. So, I know I am not finished with this project. But, they will be.

Neighbor's daughter came over tonight and said her Dad was at work overnight. (Firefighter) Dad's mouse trap had caught a mouse and she was afraid to go near it. The mouse was a rat but that's our secret until Dad returns. This trap is a hum dinger. Mr Mouse/Rat was DOA for sure. Reopening trap allows critter to drop into paper bag for disposal. Great device, going to buy one.

I used peanut butter in the traps, and they worked the first night. The kill was obviously quick, and the traps are very easy to empty. It helps to put the traps facing the wall, as mice are wall runners. I had previously bought the larger T-Rex, thinking if a little is good, a lot is better, but the mice just got fat on my bait. Turns out mice aren't heavy enough to trip the larger traps (intended for rats). I learned this by contacting the makers of the traps, Bell Laboratories, who were very quick and helpful in their response.

Works as well as its big brother, the T-Rex rat trap. I especially like the removable bait cup.

Bought the largest number of traps I could to "carpet bomb" the mouse critters after seeing them in my bedroom and living room. I live in the country, so mice can be a problem in the winter months, but summer visitors are another thing. First night, found four in all the traps using peanut butter, then three more the next night. No more since then (one week), so I hope my problem is solved! I've used these traps in the past, so I knew I'd get good results. Price is great ,too.

These Mini-T Rex Mouse traps are much better than the products available in places like Home Depot and Lowes. These are made for many snaps, and last for at least 1 year. We found that the refillable cap is very safe and handy. The unlatching mechanism (underneath) that allows the device to close for safe keeping, is very handy for moving them around without getting snapped. I especially like that there is no blood to show, and it is a neat final blow. Ideally the electronic kind can be nice, but just don't work as well as these with some peanut butter.

Cold weather is here and the mice are looking for warmth inside the house. These traps work great and are highly effective, caught a couple of mice already. Very easy to activate and dispose of the mice. Much safer than the wooden mouse traps. I would highly recommend them.

I bought the provoke mouse attractant and 2 of these traps for under my sink. We have had mouse droppings for quite a long time under there. I put 2 of these along with a glueboard under the sink. The 2cnd night did the trick. A decent size mouse - medium size was waiting for me the next morning. It has been a month and no more activity. The traps are high quality and easy to use.

These traps work great! Though they claim they are reusable, I bought a case of 24 and at $1.74 per trap, that's disposable territory for me. The case has lasted me two years now and I still have 11 left. I've tried the glue traps and, more often than not, all they trapped was some fur after the critter wriggled free. This is a final solution.

After two days we caught a rat! We have regular pest control service and we called them to send someone out. He checked it out and said, "You probably got the one that was in your home. That's a cool trap. May I see it?" So, I gave him one. When he came back this week, he said he showed it to fellow employees and they were impressed, too. He said we wouldn't find one that good at Home Depot!

Who says you can't build a better mouse trap? This thing is great. The bait cup removes easily from the bottom of the trap and locks in place when you load it up. Your hands never get near the business end of the trap. It is a snap to set and doesn't spring when you go to put it down. Removing the dead mouse is even easier because your hands never get near the critter. Well worth the price.

I use to use a tin box type trap to catch mice alive. When it would get full I'd take it down behind the local Chinese food restaurant and let them go. Well one day the little old oriental lady came out and was upset with me so I had to stop. My wife doesn't like Chinese food anyway. While I was considering buying these traps my neighbor told me she used concrete mixed with oats to help with her mouse concerns. After the mouse ate the mixture and drank water I guess the mouse would get plugged up and die. I thought about that and decided, going to the home center and buying an 80 lb bag of concrete and then getting oats and all was a lot of trouble. I ordered these traps and some mouse attractant for my little critter problems. The attractant, I think has something to do with sex. I am not sure. I am getting older and I know if I eat too much cheese I get bound up and feeling sympathy for the mouse, in that regard, would rather his life ended thinking he was gong to get “some” rather than from a intestinal blockage. My grandson, age 7, liked the traps so much he wanted to play with one. I warned him not to stick his fingers in it but sometimes we must learn by doing. I think it scared him rather than hurt him. We set the traps and have caught lots of mice. My grandson likes to check the traps when he comes to visit. These traps are easy for him to set, empty and reset. It gives us something to do together

When I first received the traps I set three of them, baiting with peanut butter. The next morning the peanut butter had been eaten out of all the traps. I re-baited and the next night the same results. I looked at the way the trigger worked and realized that how you set it determined how sensitive the trap was. That night after setting them to make them sensitive two out of the three traps caught mice. I am very pleased with the results of these traps and would recommend them to others. They do not play with the mice.
