WORTH EVERY PENNY ! 28 House Mice Caught, Released in the woods, and counting with 2-Door Trap ! (My mother is a bad clutterer)
28 House Mice Caught, Released in the woods, and counting with the 2-Door MATATA Trap ! (My mother is a very bad clutterer)Bird Seed is an excellent bait with no mess to clean up !Pro's - No bloody mess left and no ants attracted to a dead mouse.- Painted, and small so I can set it up where I need, in a dark corner.Con's - A tiny mouse may not trip the trap. I've caught 2 tiny mice at one time, and as many as 3 tiny mice at one time.- First few times setting the trap is easy, but after you catch a few mice and the trip wire wears the paint off, the trap becomes more delicate totrip, Sometimes it will go off if you bump it while placing it in the location you've chosen.Overall I'm very satisfied with the two traps I purchased. The 'SLAP' of the closing doors is noticeable if you're in the same room or a hallway connecting to that room. I normally take the trap out and release the mice in the woods right after I hear it trip.

Not suitable for catching mice
Even though this trap mentions "mouse" in the description, it does not catch mice. It will only work for bigger animals - a mouse is not heavy enough to trigger it.When it arrived, it was very hard to set and very hard to trigger. The triggering mechanism is a horizontal rod on the top that goes under a hook attached to the bait pan, so when the hook moves to the side a spring closes the doors. The horizontal rod was a little too long and had some burs on it, so it caught on the hook and made the trap difficult to set or trigger. That seemed like an obvious manufacturing defect, so I decided to fix it rather than send it back. After filing a little length and some burs off the end of the rod, it could be set easily without catching, but still seemed a little hard to trigger. I even tried putting some teflon plumbing tape around the end to make it slide more easily, but the best I could do was make it so a half ounce of pressure on the bait tray would trigger it about half the time. (I used half an ounce of #12 wire partially coiled, so the wire could go through the top and sit on the edge of the bait tray, supporting the weight of the coil).I didn't think that was sensitive enough, but tried setting it anyway. The bait was gone in the morning, trap still open. I saw what did it, because my other trap got it. It was an ordinary size mouse, bigger than some of the ones I've caught before, but still too light for this trap. It looks like a sturdy trap, but the distance from the tray to the doors is short enough that the tail of a rat or a squirrel could still be sticking out the door when it closes. Those doors slam pretty hard, so I'm not sure it's suitable for trapping anything. I don't need to trap anything bigger than a mouse though, so it's going back.

Excellent trap!
Easy to use, and clean. Built very well, and very effective. Great value! First night, caught 5 wood rats. Very sensitive trigger!

Didn't work
Used for 2 weeks last year, no luck. Tried again this year and all baitceaten. Doors didn't shut. Can't find contact number for company to figure out how to fix. Frustrating.

Buyer beware
The media could not be loaded. This product is junk. As soon as you open the doors to set the trap it stretches out the flimsy door springs where they won’t shut tight… the animal could get back out easily.

Worked like a charm for a large rat
The media could not be loaded. I purchased trapped to capture rats in my crawl space. It didn't take long, two days to capture this large rat. I've seen several reviews mentioning this trap may not be suitable for rats due to its small size but it worked in this case. It took two days with some peanut butter. The rat checked out the trap the first day and I did not see it until the second day when it got a little too curious. The locking doors worked perfectly well.

Some work was required
Mine required a little work to get them to work correctly. They work really when fine tuned
