Deer Mouse Gets Trapped. Review and test of the Atomic Barbie Rat Trap, Medium Animal Humane Live Cage. There are two versions I found on Amazon, small and medium. Not everything fits into the small, so I went to the medium and glad I did. Watch the video and let me know if you have any questions, I used a wild deer mouse to test the trap. For bait, I used Tomcat Mouse Attractant and Yogies from ecotrition (yogies are marketed to pet enthusiasts for rats). I have found that wild rats will ignore yogies, but wild mice definitely go for them. I paid $23.12 for this medium trap on Amazon, seller was Atomic Barbie. Atomic Barbie sent two e-mails following the sale, reminding me to leave a "five star review" on Amazon, I made this video instead. I prefer video over written reviews thanks.
Here is the link to Amazon for those of you who are shopping.

the slow motion vid is amazing.. the fact that the mouse went sideways sensing the only exit before touching the trigger just blew my mind!!!.... thanks for sharing !!
Thank you!
Now I understand and appreciate why these traps are so long. During the slow motion, it's amazing how the mouse knew exactly where to turn under those kind of reflexes.
+Michael Vuong You know it Michael.. if this trap were just two inches shorter, this mouse would have propelled itself through the door before it finished closing. I'm putting up a second, much shorter video just to display that in greater detail. The mouse, as soon as it senses a trigger, rockets towards the entry point... I was amazed by that ability.
its like he expected it and bounced to the entrance -- they are smart....
"SOB!! I knew it!!"
-Mouse
:)
File the end of the metal wire that goes through the loop to an angle and smooth. It still stays in the loop easily but slips off quickly when something touches the trigger.
Agreed, I use one similar, fantastic trap
Thank you for the demo!! I’m setting my trap now! Using 2 different cage traps. I actually used aloe Vera in both cages and some dog food because that’s what the rat was eating. I will load the video in a few days please come see me results. I hope it is a good as yours. Thank you again.
Thank you for such a GREAT video review! I agree the construction looks shoddy and weak, but I love that you show how well it works in spite of the craftsmanship. I have ordered two of them (they will arrive tonight). Wish me luck. Seeing how fast that mouse was, and yet, he wasn't fast enough to escape, made my day. I hope it works on a rat I saw scurry across my patio yesterday. Thanks again for such a complete review.
So glad you like it... rats are soooo smart that I really get a kick out of figuring out how to catch them. I know you will have fun with these traps, my only problem is that I've run out of rodents to catch... I guess that's the point in the first place.
Rodents gone; great problem to have! I am looking forward to having your problem and becoming rat free. I am worried that the rat, if not caught, may figure out how to use our doggy door--that could be a much bigger problem. I hope I can nip this in the bud. There is construction in the area and I had to catch three gophers. The rats are the newest invaders. Great job! I hope you keep your "problem!"
Shoddy and weak? It’s for catching mice/rats not raccoons !
Cool trap...good thing that the door closed fast and the trap was as long as it was...didn’t know mice were that quick!
Thank you! I have to do a humane mouse trap for my technology project. This was really helpful!
Oh, that's great, I hope your project is a success!
THANK YOU !!! I BOUGHT A NEW ONE WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS.... IT'S SIMPLE WITH YOUR VIDEO... GOOD JOB !!!
Glad it helped
I bought two. Great trap.
Great slow mo!
its amazing that after 7 years they still sell the same trap design on amazon
bought one yesterday for some field mice :) i have high expectations
You're going to like it!
This thing is a fantastic tool..I'm reading people here are complaining about build quality? Please this damn trap costs less than 20 bucks! It's practical 💯 effective and the build quality is just fine. You want build quality?..ok go buy the fancy one that looks all pretty painted then find out it doesn't work for doodly squat!
Currently have a rat visitor... will be testing this out on that rascal TONIGHT.. wish me luck, they are very savvy
Frederick Dunn whay where the results
@@PureDamageYT they ended up feasting on poor Fred
Great video! I just ordered one cage.
Wow! That mouse has some good reflexes.
They are masters at emptying traps without springing them, now you know why.
to bad it get caught and eventually died afterwards and it brings me pure happiness XD
Thanks for posting...used video to try to repair mine which got damaged the very first time I used it...appreciated
Oh, glad it helped. These are fantastic designs that have been poorly constructed, someone somewhere will make them of better materials I hope. AND, I hope they provide them in all sizes!
Yes. Mine had an interference fit because the door was warped and didn't allow the slide lock to engage.
I too am amazed by its speed and reflexes if they weren't so cunning and dangerous in carrying diseases they are kind of cute.
Wow the reaction time on that mouse is amazing
you said it!
Amazingly good video and comments... thank you
You're welcome and thanks for that comment!
I've owned one of these traps for over a year now. I tell you what it was the best 5$ spent. I've managed to catch all the mice at home and even took it to work where i caught many more. I'm sure I am well over 100 catches by now. I use peanut butter every time I set it and it never fails. If you own one of these traps and the trap doesn't go off then you might be setting it wrong. You have to make sure that the rod that goes through the loop on top isnt inside the loop to far. Make sure the rod is barely inside the loop right on the edge. This will make the pressure pad alot more sensitive to touch.
I have 4 traps, peanut doesn't work, but beead with sunflower oil attracts all the rods!
The trap itself is almost perfect, but I'm using slight modification to catch cautious rats - I put a metal bar on the trigger so the only way to sniff the bait is to step up on the trigger. Some rats don't even touch the trigger but got caught! And yes - this trap holds rat without problems!
.....and with all its adrenaline -- all that entrapment it left not a single calling card! So interesting to see the Very impressive reaction time.
indeed +==
Maybe placing a slick plastic base would slow him down , just a thought ! Well done ✅ !
This trap works great for rats! I'm two for two so far. I use peanut butter for bait.
aaahhhhhhh i just love this video not because of trap but i have seen the mouse relaxes amazing
Thanks!
That mouse is no joke. Rats and mice have gotten smarter and smarter as we have been at battle with them.
I received 4 of these traps form Amazon recently. 2 large and 2 small.
I was surprised to find the quality of the traps has apparently improved
since you reviewed them here 4 years ago.
I am actually using these traps to dispose of starlings that have been
wreaking havoc at my platform bird feeders. Starlings, unlike other birds,
will eat cat food so I place these small traps inside a much larger enclosed
platform feeder. I place the food they don't want at the front of the trap,
and then I place the cat food inside a tiny container on top of the spring
mechanism. I also cut some thin plexiglass just small enough to fit inside
the trap and cover the bottom of the trap, to prevent the bird food from
falling out the bottom. I screwed a couple of small cups to the plexiglass
so that the cardinals wouldn't spill the safflower seeds I put out for them.
That goes in the front of the trap.
What is the name of the trap?
sahah
You did a great job with this video ! Love how you gave us all the dimensions.
Excellent critique and analysis with almost no wasted time in this video.
My birdfeeders are being over run with a horrible invasive species known as starlings and
I would like to get 3 or 4 of these traps. But I don't want to chance killing songbirds.
I needed the dimensions because my platform feeders have 4 sides to them.
I was wondering how high that round bar is in the air and I think 10" is going to be OK.
I never had a problem with starlings until this year and I can't figure out what has changed.
I wonder if I should get the smaller trap and if that trap would be a little more sensitive (?)
I also wonder if this trap is made in China and still available here in the US since
the US is boycotting them (?)

Very nice mouse trap
The fastest mouse I've ever seen in my entire lifeeee. WTH is this😨
Very good review. I just found this video 3 years later and I am impressed! All I need now is a way to gas the rats to death I catch. I can't stand blood and gore and don't want to move the rats to bug someone else's yard.
This cage really work great
It does indeed, thanks for commenting :)
My trap was not catching the chipmunks I wanted to get rid of. They would go in and trip the trap but push their way out! After watching this video I realized the slide lock had an interference fit with the cheap metal door. It did not drop down and secure the door. I removed the interference fit and the trap works great now.
I'm so glad it helped you out John! I wish someone would make a great quality version of this trap and I'd buy it... still the absolute BEST. Thanks for sharing!
good video.......I like the electric shock traps.........and the PVC cannon traps... and the drowning traps.
Lots of options out there for sure!!!
I bought on on ebay for about 11.00 bucks but there were no instructions. Thank you. My cat recently past and he was the one who took care of the mice. Fortunately no rats.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I was thinking about filing a groove at the end of th3 rod!
LOL best line ever. You can decide later. Scary but neseccary
Very nice
I have nine of these traps and have caught almost 60 rats in my garden!
They never seem to fail.. thanks for sharing!!!
Getting one now to deal with the endless rats visiting my bird feeder
@@wallacethetuna945 wishing you success in all you trap ==
@Kuv Koj AMAZON
Gosh, that mouse nearly beat the cage door closing. So fast.
it failed and I like it XD
excelente video 👍👍👍
This somehow showed that mice are really the smartest pests!
Thanks for this video. Was hoping you'd show us how to safely open the trap and release the mouse.
Just slide the hold-bar up, and tilt the door open and they will run right out.
Thanks, actually caught a 'possum last night, thinking we had mice and rats.@@FrederickDunn
The latch that keeps the door open on mine got broken and lost after a squirrel got in it. Ideas how to fix the mechanism from the food holder tray to the door open pin. It looks simple but my mind can’t figure out how to fix it
excellent video. I am seeing now I regret getting a trap like this, that mouse almost made it out before the door closed. I think I would prefer getting a cage that is longer and sturdier. I did buy a variety of traps for mice/rats with mixed results (including a snap trap that has a plastic tunnel system, but the mice or rats never went for it). I didn't want to get a live trap because I have no where to legally release the mice/rats, with cameras everywhere now I am sure I am going to have trouble finding a spot to release them. But the other traps aren't working so I figured I would try the cage instead.
You can cut it in the middle and extend it yourself. Easy to do. I agree, a longer trap works better :)
If you've got a pail or a bucket that the trap will fit inside, just fill it with water and your "release" issue is solved! 👍 All I ever use now are "live" traps. Yup, I catch 'em live, but i don't release them that way. 😉
If you play it in slowmotion, you can see how the mouse reacted first and did a long leap, so close though, almost beat the door lol
to bad it failed XD
these do work well.
No escapees :)
Great video! It's funny I just got the cry same trap from Amazon for 12euro! Yours it's overpriced. And tonight I am catching the mouse in the kitchen Which troubles me a lot. Wish me good luck. Ps: the slow motion it's great... These little trouble makers are fast as hell 😱
This is just common trap in Malaysia. Yes,the rat for sure can't ran. But it only can catch one at a time.
One at a time is all I need :)
Thanks help a lot :D
Also I caught a mouse yesterday lmao!
Somewhere I read that mice were in the chain of our evolution. That we share a lot of DNA with them. Not sure if it is true but they are certainly smart. Worth keeping them alive and releasing them elsewhere.
We evolved, millions of years back from a shrew like ancestor.
This was after the void the dinosaur mass extinction left. This gave a chance to us mammals to evolve.
i like it
I got one just like it but my door is slow as hell! I hope I catch something.
I have this trap. A medium sized rat tore it's wires from the sides. It does not have sufficient strength.
F**k that was dam fast with lightning speed reflexes almost escaped, had to watch in slow motion ! ! ! I just caught one in my house with a simple hook type :) ! ! ! It was a nuisance for the last 2 months . . FIRST BLOOD . .
They are extremely fast indeed and I have a new version of this cage to test out in the coming weeks. Deer mice are moving inside as the snow comes...
Grey squirrels can really tear these traps up if you leave a trapped
squirrel in them for too long a period. I had to repair the door of my trap
because I was not expecting to catch a squirrel at night and by the time
I woke up in the morning, a trapped squirrel had very nearly chewed his
way out.
Ya, not very well built fo squirrels.
@@FrederickDunn
I haven't heard from you in awhile and I hope you are OK.
I recently discovered a way to prevent grey squirrels from
entering these traps when I use them with peanut butter outside.
I cut up a 3 foot section of plastic white gutter guard from Home
Depot and made it the same size as the opening, so it fits tightly.
Then I attach the plastic piece of gutter guard to the top of the
trap in the front with a couple of electrical ties which act as a
fulcrum for the gutter guard to swing open.
I cut a small hole at the bottom & middle of the gutter guard
so that mice can enter but grey squirrels can not.
The trap continues to work the exact same way.
I just greatly reduced the size of the opening, to prevent grey squirrels
from entering.

Thanx for the vid. I was going to get the Small thinking it would be big enough. I have a VERY large mouse though. Way bigger than the mouse you caught. Do you think it will be too small?
It's large enough for any mouse species, but not rats, if you have a rat, it's going to get away or not go in in the first place...
I use a trap with the same dimensions and have caught rats in it. I live in the Philippines and it is manufactured locally. Has a slightly different trigger system, not very sesitive. I think I will change it to the trigger system in the vid. Thanks for posting this so I could study the system it uses.
I really like the image quality, can I ask you which camera you used? I bought the same cage trap from ebay, paid less than yours, but it's built like a tank, the wires are thicker, and is infallible :)
Glad you found a better built version :) As for the camera, for these sequences, I used the Sony AX-100b handy cam.
thanks Fred, do you think is the best camera you ever had?
No, but it's very good and versatile. I have larger clunkier cameras with better lenses, but the Sony is a grab and go unit that I really enjoy.
thanks, I think that's why camcorders are still so popular.
you're welcome and agreed
WOW!!!!!!!
so glad you were impressed :)
This trap only costs RM10 in Malaysia about US2.50 :) and the workmanship is much better. We have a spring as well for fast action.
That's fantastic, please feel free to post a link to it here! Is it available where viewers could buy one?
it is alot cheaper on the Geek app for 9 or less depending on size or by seller
Cool... thank you for sharing, I hope someone checks it out :)
Frederick Dunn welcome
Want to extend the bait tray and make it so they have to stand on it to get the food, any good rat won't touch it and still get the food
Just remember that if you extend the trigger plate, they are closer to the entrance when it goes off. Smart rats won't be caught.
@@FrederickDunn I love the smart rats, the ones that don't want to get caught, they're my favourite, get shot as they try outsmarting the trap 👌 nothing escapes the night scope and cctv for times they come to play ,
The tray doesn't need to be much longer another inch with a low ofset acts as a lower step then,
kaha mile ga
Where do you purchase these cage traps online?
The link is in the video description.
So how would other mouse get trapped, is it designed for only 1 mouse?
Yes, it's designed to capture just one mouse at a time. You'd have to set multiple traps to get several mice in a single evening.
I need for my yard catch wild mouse boy and girl rise put in cage
Would the extra large work on mice and rats
Yes! Larger is better in my opinion, what matters is that the trigger is sensitive enough for mice. For rats, I suggest locking the trap open and letting the rat get used to the trap being there and eating from the plate with no triggering, once it's confident, set it to spring and you'll have your rat. I also highly recommend using a trail camera to observe what is actually visiting the trap and you'll know how many you're dealing with and how large they are. All a rat has to do is see another rat get trapped and it's been educated to avoid. ==
@@FrederickDunn thanks for the reply how would I avoid educating the rats
@@Jus4ya The more I learn about and observe the Norway rats we have, the more I ramp up my methods. None this year, but in the past I had one particular large male that I spent 12 weeks going after. He foiled one trap after another and often brought young rats that instantly went into the cage as he ran off. Creepy doesn't begin to describe that.
What happened to rat/mouse in that cage after this video?
That DeeMouse was released at the edge of my woods.
Just got mine can wait to set it. Have rats in chicken pen
Rats will tear these up if they are in them for very long. Better suited for mice.
After u got the mice, use hot water wash cage
I dip my cages in bleach water.
7:00 lol
I want these one better than big size
How much cost tell me
There is a link in the video description.
love it but look like a DIY on this part (Inside) and its all beat up! hope its good for a mice 4:25 UPDATE! Wow they are FAST! he almost got his nose broken from the door lol
Theres this small rat which drove me crazy.
Took us 3 weeks to catch.
Our trap is ineffective (big bars) and it got off a glue trap.
Combined the two while wrapping the cage's bars with plastic wrap and so much tie rods
It got caught
Almost escaped when we drowned it
Died while its head was stuck outside the cage door that was littered with sharp tie rods
Small but far more clever than a bigger rat. It's the size of your deer mouse
Never had a lasting rat pursuit longer than this
Smaller mice are harder to catch tbh
If you're going to kill it anyway... don't bother with a live trap, go to my Rat-Kill boxes instead, even the smartest rats don't make it out. With this system, I trapped the smartest rat I've ever encountered - ua-cam.com/video/Pg9bd7HAgJs/v-deo.html
A piece of bread, works well for me !
Can you suggest me the name of this product to search easily
The link is in the video description :)
And I thought city rats were quick on their feet! I wonder if you had more natural predators to the rodents, like snakes, owls and hawks, you wouldn't had to use the traps... Would it be wise to introduce some species?
Thanks for the very interesting videos and having the time to answer the comments. ;)
We have an abundance of predators around here, nothing needs to be introduced.
i have this trap, it works a few times then the spring is not strong enough to hold the mouse in the cage, the cage now i worthless
mine are still working great even after all these years. I'd get another one.

Yes, the link is in the video description.
perfect trap... I want to order. .. how please help me.
Amazon! :)
I just bought one on ebay for $11. I have a little pest in my apartment and don't want to kill it. Can't wait to set it up and catch the little shit.
Caught 10 rats but larger ones get out before door closes. Dont know what to do
Hi Matthew, they definitely need to offer a much LARGER version than this one. The bad news is that Rats are so smart, that the ones that experienced it and escaped, won't be going back into one of these. Outsmarting a rat isn't easy. If you find a large rat sized version of this trap, please let us all know :)
Good video Fred. Deer mice are native to North America, rats are not. I recently bought a similar couple of live-traps, one for otters, raccoons and that size animal, and a smaller one like yours for rats and mink. I would never release a live rat as that would be like releasing a diseased thing into our midst or into the forest where it would prey on our native birds and small mammal species.
My new Kindle e-book from amazon.com is titled THE DAIRY OF A PROFESSIONAL RAT-CATCHER, 2015 - 2018, WITH A COMPLETE GUIDE TO TRAPPING AND POISONING RODENTS. It costs $9.99 FROM AMAZON.COM and holds my 50 years of rodent-trapping experience, tips and methods. It is designed to improve your trapping and rodent control success and I am sure it will do so for 99% of the people who try to trap rats.
HI Gregory, I don't think I suggested trapping and releasing rats? Nice to hear from you, I looked at your book and you have no reviews? I'll leave your post here and maybe some viewers will go check it out and leave you some feedback on the content. Welcome to my channel!
can they chew the metal?
yes, but it would take some time to get out.
@@FrederickDunn got it. Thank you
Well well done Frederick!
And I am talking about you are not taking me as hostage for listening to your favorite music. Became a f* plague and terrifies due to youtube's autoplaying them.
Weird on videos when killing animals anyways.
You are right, this cage is overpriced.
In my opinion rather a toy to catch ONE tiny mouse you did or a hamster for fun.
Bigger rats will have bigger parts of their bodies outside anyway.
The bucket trap does not work on rats a lot of "wannbee DJ's" promising here though.
So I am thinking of a trap which catches more than one. Similar to those fishermen using
to catch lobster and crabs. One where the one-way entry will open wide smooth on the way in and obstructs the way back entirely. Kinda springy hose made of loose nails with sharp endindings on finish. Not to be felt on the way in.
I gonna destroy them all eventually because they killed my ducklings leaving them back concaved. My kids found them. That was it for me with mercy, vegetarian though.
Shot a few rats after, we all felt having revenged the victims.
thanks
Have mercy on them. All they want is to cook 😥
Btw I'm buying one this week. I'll give an update once I caught one. There's big fella in ma house. I'm pretty sure he's not a chef. Most likely, he's the customer..
Update: So, yeahh... the big fella died just before the trap came. I used a rat food poison. I totally new that he was the customer!
Where did you find them
Ps i understood that reference
Almost escape, too fast the mice !
i have this trap
Great, I really like them. I hope it's working out well for you?
@@FrederickDunn yea ive caught squirrels but i think the rats are a little to smart for it
Where can I buy this ?
The link is in the video description :)
I rent a house with a mice living inside the walls .... i think this mice is more clever than me I've got glue traps everywhere I eliminate any possible entrance inside the house but he can still can get into the kitchen somehow....probubly somewhere behind the kitchen fittings at the bottom. .... I got 7 glue traps but he don't go into them I've got 3 traditional traps into the kitchen but he managed to eat the food without traps to close lol .... its impossible to eliminate him 🤣🤣🤣 this trap looks great probably will buy one of this to see how it goes
You will prevail... this trap is inescapable if you set it correctly :)
The price is shocking you can buy that in South East Asian countries in just 2 to 3 US$..
YEP, I live in the Philippines & bought one nearly the same about 6 years ago for 200 Pesos(about 4 dollars). I've lost count of how many rats I have caught & drowned.
What if that was a slow mouse? Like anything else, mice vary in speed and reaction time, and that mouse came within a hairbreadth of getting out. Couple that with the fact that you took some care to make sure the trigger mechanism was on its absolute quickest setting, and it looks like in the real world, with less careful owners, a fair amount of mice will escape.
You are correct, if it had been on the normal setting, it probably wouldn't have triggered at all. It's very common to find traps without bait and no mouse when tripped. The gravity closing systems (without springs) have that frequent problem. Mice are often extremely agile, rats are almost impossible.
@@FrederickDunn
Rats are impossible to....?
Hahaha thats why I dislike tbe cage mom bought
Its the gravity one and its super weak
My hamster will open that thing and it's DOMESTICATED
Too bad it died long ago; i no longer have a test subject
@@celestialjunipers6829 Rats are stronger, smarter and too large for this cage/trap. Only a young rat would fall for it :)
@@FrederickDunn
Oof ok
Now that I think of it, the majority of the rats that stumble upon our house are fairly small
The cat sized ones are in the gasoline station
Why didn't you show how to release the mouse?
You lift the drop bar at the end, and push down on the long bar to open the end. I apologize, I thought it would be easy to figure out.
Am going to get one of those this week and if I catch one unlucky sucker 🐁 am putting it outside in the snow to see it freeze to death
I understand the sentiment, but you may want to just go all in on a snap-THWAP-trap... and be done with it ==
Frederick Dunn My rats laugh at snap traps. Trigger one once and survive (which happens a LOT) and they’ll never go near another one.
Nope. I’m getting this live trap too.
@@shavinmccrotch9435 I wish you all the best in your rodent battles... I am happily rodent free.. for now... but I'm ready. Let me know how it goes!

Donald Ashley Jr. That’s pretty much the plan! 😁
That or clear a space in my freezer. Hypothermia is much more humane. Once your core temp starts to drop, you just fall asleep gently. (Ask me how I know.🥶)
need something to catch more than 1 mouse a night, though.
That's when I employ my box of certain death... if there is risk of rodent infestation, that's what I'd use. ua-cam.com/video/Pg9bd7HAgJs/v-deo.html
