    Im impressed with this, I used one thinking that I wouldn't catch anything and I woke up to a mouse in there! It looked like he was really trying to get out so I took it outside and watched and he never got close to being able to escape. Very simple yet effective. After I released him, my cats got him but I am going to continue to use this!

  • @cassidycassidy5684

    These are so great. Somehow the tiny "click" the little door makes usually wakes me up, and I can take the mouse in a nice car ride out into the woods before mouse-anxiety can last too long. The mouse is completely physically unharmed, and it was so nice to see in this video that the mouse did not even get worried enough to keep from eating the treat! This is a great way to live and let live, and incredibly simple to use.

    Thank you for promoting humane mouse traps! I had pet mice, and I always kept a few Mice Cubes on hand for when the clever little devils escaped. They worked so well, and to make sure the trapped mice were safe when I was at school, I put a little bottle cap full of water in the back.
    Mice Cubes are also great for transporting mice and keeping them out of the way when you're cleaning cages. And if you tip them upside down so they stay open and put them in the corner of a cage, they make good mouse toilets, too. ;)

    This a very well designed trap. So simple, yet brilliant. I wouldn't use them to catch mice but I can think of other uses, such as catching chipmunks (they're everywhere in my area) and releasing them a few miles away in the forest preserve.

  • @Sparxe

    Thanks so much for this video. I have already purchased one of these from a local hardware store but was a bit worried about how freaked out the little guy was going to get once he discovered he was trapped. I only keep it baited and set when i am home and awake for this reason. But it seems, from the video, that the level of distress will be ok for the mouse, in the short term at least, with this trap.
    Make no mistake, he comes out and runs around with me in the room now. At first he was afraid of me but it only took about 3 days before he realized "pssh...she is not going to hurt me". So it's only a matter of time before he gets in the trap, which I had originally baited with, what I now know is FAR too much peanutbutter.
    So...basically thank you for saving the mouse from that horrible sounded death by choking and for saving me from a life of guilt for having perpetrated it unwittingly upon him.
    Thanks much!

      I will definitely check it often. A) I don't want to harm him or her in any way and B) I have OCD so lol checking is my middle name! :-)
      Thanks again for the reassuring video. Now all I have to do is convince myself not to keep the mouse as a pet once trapped. :-)

      MousetrapGenius, if its a wild rat then get a trap, put cheese in the trap and then the mouse will go in and then it has to be something that scares them but then after you did that, give it a home.

  • @cassidycassidy5684
    @cassidycassidy5684 7 років тому

    I remember, as a kid, watching an adult setting a spring-loaded traditional trap. It was so finicky and difficult; it took ages and the adult kept cursing and pinching his fingers, etc. Then the trap would often 'miss-fire' and fail to catch a mouse. Obviously, when it did work, mouse-agony ensued. As if that were not bad enough, someone then had to deal with removing the gore-covered body from the spring-trap. Lose-lose-lose situation.
    Hooray for Mice Cube! Simple and kind!

  • @G56AG
    @G56AG 9 років тому +5

    Major problem I see with this design is that if the trap turns over for some reason the door will fall open and let the mouse out. Not a bad idea but needs a wide base to keep it upright.

  • @edwardstarsmith6750
    @edwardstarsmith6750 10 років тому

    I bought a series of live catch mouse traps and this was the only design that consistently caught anything. I even caught two mice in the same trap one night.
    It's a shame you didn't show the release, because the ease of release is one of the neatest features. I gently rolled the trap over to its side and then on its back. This resulted in the door staying open, allowing the mouse to leave the trap. Take a couple of steps back, and the little guy will make a break for it, which is what you want him to do.

  • @robintait6896

    Kudos, I used this trap years ago. It's the only one that works for me. I didn't have to worry about my dog or the kids I babysat getting poisoned or hurt. Because I was trying to catch a mice. Five years later, the mice are back. And I can't find these traps. Thanks for the link

  • @ChuckReynolds
    @ChuckReynolds 10 років тому +4

    honest question - how do you let it out? it seems like you'd have to use your finger to open the door - the same exit the mouse would have to come out of? seems like the availability for it to bite you would be pretty high considering the release point. Am I wrong?

    • @mousetrapgenius727
      @mousetrapgenius727 10 років тому +7

      Good question. Fortunately, all you need to do to release it is set it on the ground upside down. Since the door is just a hinge, when it is upside down if falls open naturally and the mouse can walk out.

    • @ChuckReynolds
      @ChuckReynolds 10 років тому

    Mice Cubes...gotta love 'em. Just released the first mouse of the season. If I have one complaint, it's that the dark color of the plastic makes it kind of hard to see if there is a mouse in there from a distance (my "guests" move into the attic when it gets cold...it would be nice to just poke my head up and see clearly if there is a winner waiting for relocation without having to climb up and inspect up close). Thanks for the tip on the peanut butter too.

  • @MousetrapGenius
    @MousetrapGenius  11 років тому

    Good question. They can't chew through concrete but they can chew through many things - including plastic. But for them to chew through it, there has to be a surface that is small enough for them to get their jaws around, and this trap doesn't have any surfaces like that. They can't just take a bite out of a flat wall.

    I bought 4 after seeing these video tried to solve my mice problem, but before this video I also watched your introduction on Tomcat live trap, and I caught 2 and solved my problem!
    Now after 7 years, they reappear!
    These time Im using two of the mice cube, just 20 minutes, I caught one already!
    But I have to wait till the morning to release the one I caught, hopefully it is the only one!

  • @StreetSoccerNYC
    @StreetSoccerNYC 11 років тому

    I just bought this trap, and I like its simplicity and the fact that it's cheap... so you can purchase a number of them. BUT THEY HAVE NO AIR HOLES IN THEM, and they are small, so I struggle to see how this is humane unless you release the mouse within a couple of hours of capture. I drilled 13 holes in the top myself, but this is a serious design flaw that needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. Hopefully it works well, but I may not purchase more if I need to keep drilling the holes myself.

  • @pickles3128
    @pickles3128 7 років тому +1

    My only question is: does it work consistently? Mice are pretty smart, and I am pretty sure they'd notice their brethren getting stuck and take a mental note to stay far away from the trap after a while.

  • @MousetrapGenius

    I don't think so, as it would be difficult for them to both fit. The trap is pretty narrow, so maybe if the one on the inside was extremely tiny it could be possible, but unlikely.

    Actually it's wild and I catch a different one every time. If you watch my test of the "MiceDevice" for instance, the mouse in that video has a little bite in his ear. Or the mouse in my test of the Tomcat Live Catch is much smaller than this one.

  • @MousetrapGenius
    @MousetrapGenius  11 років тому

    As far as I know they don't make a MiceCube in a larger size (which is too bad because I think it would work well - I will try to talk to them about it at some point) I recently reviewed a chipmunk trap by Havahart that works for rats as well, so you may be interested in that one if you have a large rat problem.

    @donmak0427 9 років тому

    I got the Mice Cube to help with some mouse problems I've been having with my truck and travel trailer, and it worked, but a word of caution: for those wanting to humanely re-release the mouse to the wild, be sure to check your traps often. I set mine up in the early evening, but when I checked on it by mid-morning (about 15 hours later), the poor little mouse died. I'm guessing the trap should be set just before going to bed, and then checked first thing getting up(?)

  • @cherylmom2894
    @cherylmom2894 10 років тому

    You need to put a weight on top of the cube so the trapped mouse can't flip the cube over on it's side - if the cube is flipped over on it's side the door opens enough for the mouse to squeeze through and escape. Also, some smart mice can apparently open the door from the inside of the trap by catching their paw nails in the small space between the the side of the door and the side of the cube (I've been trying to catch this smarty pants mouse the last 2 evenings - bait gone, cube (with weight on top) not flipped over, but no mouse!).

  • @someonessidechannel1485
    @someonessidechannel1485 8 років тому +13

    The only problem with live capture and release is if the mouse returns, it will likely have learned and will refuse to go near a trap like that again.

      I watched a video where a guy had set up a trap that didn't drown the mice but would drop them in the bucket instead, and also set up a motion-sensing camera system that would cature time-lapse photos. He did this for a week. The first time the mouse fell in it took it a few hours to get out, but from then on it got out faster and faster, and by the end of the week the mouse decided going for the bait wasn't worth falling into a bucket and it stopped.

    I have used these successfully, but there aren't many stores that carry them. It is important to release the mice quickly, of course, and to check them regularly. One time I trapped a very frightened chipmunk, so I imagine they probably work for most small critters that would try to raid your kitchen.

  • @sparkymahoney4343
    @sparkymahoney4343 10 років тому

    It doesn't hurt to drill several small holes in the top of the trap either for better ventilation as the condensation can get really heavy in them.
    I'd also suggest wearing disposable or rubber gloves when handling the trap with a mouse in it and after letting it go. Remember, they're cute but they're also harbingers of disease like Lyme disease, Salmonella and Hantavirus. So remember to wash the trap and yourself well with hot water afterward - hot shower is the way to go.

      ntm if u let it go outside it could go to your neighbors house, so not really doing anyone a favor. these mice live in the woods n fields, not human homes, if they came in to grab a bite to eat and scoop but excrete outside is one thing. but to use the notion of "law of nature" these mice are genetic flunkies if they squat in human homes .
      ntm all these "humane" animal freedom people. well why dont they go to woods and build mouse homes , like people do for birds. that in it self is preventing the "cruelty, but most of the humane type people are usually just butthurt christians and catholics who hate their god and think they know best.
      also look at it from human aspect, say if i was your friend and got in financial jam and u let me live with your for a while till i least got another job n some cash to movoe out, how long would it take b4 u evicted me, if i pooped n peed all over the kitchen etc etc lol .
      @ all the animal cruelty people, Human life style is cruel, 30-50 hrs + 4-5 days plus per week just to have place to sleep, food n water to drink, cosmetics etc to bath n clean . Rather then uniting to spam neg comments on animal cruelty why not figure out way n unite to reduce bs, like if most people work ~40 hrs 5 days week, maybe find a global solution so average is ~36hrs week slightly less hrs but much longer shifts but longer week ends .

    out of interest, what species is it. looks like a US version of wood mouse (uk species). the bad mice to get in homes are the house mouse which are like mini rats and only live in houses. wood mice are not really pests and usually live outdoors, and so you can just release them a few miles away and they will be ok. also, does the camera switch on when detecting movement or does it have to be left running.

  • @MousetrapGenius
    @MousetrapGenius  11 років тому

    Maybe if it's very small, but it's not very likely. The mouse holding the door open would be blocking the way for the mouse inside, so most likely they'd both end up trapped.

  • @MousetrapGenius
    @MousetrapGenius  11 років тому

    Awesome. The mice cube is a great trap. Glue traps work for snakes. You just have to bait them with bugs or meat. I would never recommend glue traps for mice cause it can rip their legs off, but they work okay for snakes.

  • @MousetrapGenius
    @MousetrapGenius  11 років тому

    Maybe, but it would have to be a pretty small snake. If it was long enough for its tail to stick out under the door, I think it could get out.

  • @NikoNova22

    I suppose that's why I never saw them at pet stores. I guess it's just best to observe them in their own habitat! Btw, do you know anything about male (pet) mice not being able to co_habitate? I was told to keep them in different cages due to fighting, but I don't want them to get lonely. Thought you might know ?

  • @paulroberts7937

    Absolutely Fantastic trap, I've used all the other humane traps and this is by far the best. They're cheap £5.99 for three from Amazon and I've caught 16 in three days in my garage. Been using chocolate covered sponge rolls in the end and a tiny bit just under the flap, so they can see how easy it is to get in. You know when you've got one as the trap steams up and it's easy to release, I put the into a mouse cage with a little houe then when I've got a few, I take them about 2 miles away to release. Friends think I'm stupid, but they're only trying to keep warm and eat, just like all of us, basically they're doing what mice do.

      Fortunately, only one mouse can fit in the door at once, so if one is pushing in to keep it open the other can't come out.

  • @xclimatexcoldxx
    @xclimatexcoldxx 8 років тому

    It looks like it can hurt the tail sometimes. Unless if they dont have feeling in tail, but I don't know anything about mice. Also it can get out while another one is trying to get it. And at this point the food could be eaten and not interest the 2nd mouse to go in.

  • @ILiveInFalmouth
    @ILiveInFalmouth 9 років тому

    I bought one of those sort of traps, I couldn't work out how it was getting the food and escaping. It turned out there was a small air hole down the other end which the mouse had made much bigger and escaped through. It took me a week to realise where he was escaping from every night.

    Just bought one acouple of days ago, haven't caught one yet. There was 4 little treats in it, sedates them, but no action I have caught about 90 mice so far with the dark green, single to 4, but they have got too smart I figure. I have the big multi one - useless - green one (which most were caught, sometimes 2, & the Catch Master Inn - so far nothing. This was during the winter until now. Haven't found where they are coming in yet. My dog hears them in the cupboards (which I have emptied of any foods, & I see them running but little devils are fast. Dog has caught 2.

    I've seen a better version of the mice cube that uses a weighted door rather than spring. and you can open the front part. The one in the video looks difficult to clean.

  • @michaelhinchey
    @michaelhinchey 7 років тому +1

    You also shouldn't touch the food. They may smell human and may not enter unless they are desperate. Also these traps allow another mouse to open the trap from the outside while the other mouse slips out.

    If you don't want your finger in the way, take a large paper clip and un bend it except for a 1 inch bend on one end and an L shape on the other and then pull the bent end into the door area by hanging onto the L shape bend. This will open the door, keeping your fingers away from it.

    I am sure you answered this somewhere, but what is the best way to let him out? When I used the tin cats I open them and step back so they don't feel threatened and they hop into the forest. This one I will be having my fingers right there waiting for it to get out?

    • @sethmichael6094
      @sethmichael6094 9 років тому

      Seth Michael OOOH I forgot to say that I am not liking this one cause there are no air holes. But I love how it's so easy to set up and pretty darn effective. How can they breath in there though?

  • @cegolau
    @cegolau 11 років тому

    Best trap is the bucket one (the deeper the bucket, the better). On the micecube, if another mouse feels the smell of the bait and try to enter, it will free a previously trapped mouse inside. Another thing is that it won't catch a big mouse.

    Mice and rats cannot vomit because their stomachs aren't muscular like ours. They have a small, pill shaped area that's glandular. The rest is epithelial tissue similar to the lining of our mouth and esophagus.

    @Sage45723 10 років тому

    I bought 4 of these from Amazon because on occasion one of our mice will escape. Maybe tame mice know something that wild ones don't but so far they have been able to remove the bait and regain their freedom every time. I have to resort to hands and knees and under the bed and furniture forays to return them to their homes.
