Customer Reviews for Mini T-Rex Mouse Trap

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.

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.

I used Mini T-Rex mouse traps with Provoke attractant. These traps are easier to set than snap traps and for me delivered the promised "successful and deadly capture."

I've used the old Victor snappers with peanut butter for years. The mice seemed to have gotten much smarter, so I tried these with just the mouse attractant. Got that "smart" mouse a few minutes after setting. It is almost impossible to steal the bait without stepping on the trigger. Very easy to clean, and hands never go near catch. Just squeeze open and reset. The bait pan twists out and also very easy to clean, unlike scraping out the old metal pans with a toothpick. I did not think you could improve the old ones but they really did.

We moved into a house that's out in the woods and the people that lived here before us left a Mini T Rex mouse trap. I gave it no mind until winter started setting in and the house was being over run. I set the trap and slid it behind the TV stand and within minutes, we had our first dead mouse. I have looked all over this area for more of these traps only to be disappointed by cheaply made ones that break. I am ordering more Mini T Rex! Easy to bait and set and release the dead mouse! I love them!

I received my package really quick, considering I was going nuts to know I had a mouse - well, 2 - in the house. DROVE ME NUTS!!!!. I set these traps and put them down in their running path in my kitchen. And sure enough SNAP!!! SNAP!!! to those little suckers. I have always been scared of the old wood traps (not sure of the name) because it could always snap you while setting it up. I loaded my T-Rex with peanut butter and pull back on the lever (very easy to do) it sets and you place it where they travel. No more sleepless nights, oh and no more expensive pest control calls. It cost me $149 for them to come out and tell me...yeah you got a mouse or mice and baited the attic. Now they partied in my kitchen like clockwork 10pm - 6am. Yep, I know cause I sat up the WHOLE time. Again, that's all over now. I have been mice free now 3 weeks with no more sleepless nights, traps are ready if they return.

Two days after setting the traps, we caught the little critter. Setting the trap and disposing of the rodent were much cleaner and simpler than with the old wooden spring-action traps.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
