Most effective way to get rid of rats and mice, with some caveats

There is a reason why professional exterminators use this and don't bother with "snap traps" - they flat out work. But there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you get maximum effectiveness: 1. You must know the path that the critters are taking. Just spend some time getting inside the head of your vermin - they have a nest somewhere and they travel back and forth to food and water sources. They will usually travel against walls and along the tops of roof joists. If you find holes in walls, you will often see a dirty smudge where their filthy little tails drag along behind them. You will also see droppings (they seem to poop constantly). Place these traps in the high traffic areas, arranging them so that they are butted against walls, and along the trails they follow (think of the way ants travel in a line - rats and mice kind of do the same thing). 2. Don't bother with bait - if you follow the instructions in #1 above you don't need bait. I have never baited these things and I have caught a LOT of rats (my wife feeds birds in our yard and the seed attracts rats). 3. Do NOT use these outside or anywhere your pets or children can come in contact with them. If you put them outside, you will inevitably end up with a bird stuck to it, and unless you are a cold-hearted killer, you will feel awful. When I have to use them outside (like along the pathways the rats use to visit the bird feeders) I cover them with a long pice of plywood propped against the wall to create a "tunnel" and try to make it much more difficult for anything other than a rat or mouse to get stuck. Also, curious house cats will OFTEN get stuck in these, especially if there is a mouse or rat thrashing around on it and squeaking. Let me tell you that it is NO fun trying to pull one of these off your cat's face while there is a live rat stuck to it (or a toddler's shoe!). Also not covering them, you'll end up with a lot of leaf litter on them, which hinders their effectiveness. 4. Don't use these if you can't handle the sight of a dead (or dying) rat or mouse. Be prepared to "dispatch" the animal humanely once they are trapped. These traps do not cause instant death (the way snap traps do). The animal will eventually die (often from suffocation or shock) but the most humane thing to do is to kill them once you hear the squeaking and thrashing around. Speaking of which, it is fairly common (especially for a larger rat) to become partially stuck on one of these traps. I had a big wood rat get his back end stuck on one in my attic one night, and he flipped out, thrashing around and dragging it all over the place until I was able to crawl up there and "take him out". Outside, I usually use a shovel to decapitate them quickly when they get stuck. In the attic, I will usually use a very sharp hunting knife or a pair of lopping shears to decapitate them. (Did I mention this is not for squeamish people?). On a side note, don't leave these in the attic too long without checking them. Trust me, if you wait until you smell something funny, you are going to have a very unpleasant situation to deal with. 5. Make sure you wear rubber/latex/nitrile gloves while disposing of these once you have a dead mouse/rat. The reason is twofold: first, they are filthy disease-ridden creatures and they tend to poop and pee all over when they die, and you don't want contact with that. Secondly, if you accidentally get stuck to the trap while retrieving it, you can slip off a glove easily. If you're bare skin gets stuck (and these things are STICKY!) you will have a real mess do deal with.

These work so well, I feel guilty.

Don't look at the poor thing stuck there, you won't want to use any more of them. Disease carrying, nasty, dirty, adorable, helpless, little animals. Just make sure you want them dead. These work.

Highly recommend

Best and effective product ever. It caught 7 of mices in 1 night.

They work!

Look, these aren’t humane. Using these are going to trap a mouse and hold it there but that’s ultimately what you need. We had a couple nice sneak into our house andI contacted a friend who works in pest removal professionally. These are the ones he told me to buy because they’re as close as you can get to what the pros use. Originally, I had ordered a humane trap with the intention of releasing the mouse back into the wild. The friend let me know that, while that’s a sweet idea, the mice we had carry specific diseases which are bad for elderly and infants. Since we have a toddler, I didn’t want to take any chances. Not the most humane way but simple, quick, and effective.

Caught them on the first night! Within 1hour!

Caught them one in the first night! Had to buy more because I didn't realize I had alot more rats in my house due to a recent storm. These do work amazing. Make sure you put them in a corner because once the rat get stuck not on the trap they will try but to fight getting out of the trap. If there is no corner they can flip the trap over and get themselves out! Also put a little snack in the middle for extra benefit of luring them in on the trap. Hope this review help you pick out the right trap for your needs.

TAttack On The Rat Community. Not Tolerated 😁

Report reaching my office says the gang called CatchMaster Glue Trap are responsible for this mayhem. The attack on the rat community will not be tolerated. Rat Lives Matter - RLM✊😁

Effective, but you will have to finish the job

Works well. Had a huge rat in my garage and the trap caught it within a day. Only negative is that the rat will still be alive in the trap. As my rat was really big, it's nasty tail was flopping slowly off the back of the trap and kind of creeped me out. Sorry, back to the review...trap worked as advertised, just be aware you will likely have to finish the job (kill the rat) before you dispose of it.

Just get these. They 'just work'.

I've used these glue traps before and they are my go to if I have any kind of rodent issues. They are large enough that when something gets trapped it's not going to pull itself off of the trap or run away with it like the hard paperboard ones. They do have a bit of a 'bait' smell to them, but it's not obnoxious at least.

I've caught mice and rats

Easy to use, just a dab of peanut butter in the center and they can't help but go for it. One trap got 3 mice, the other a large rat. They are bait, set and forget. The glue lasts a very long time so the are great for basements and under foundations and decks.

Only Brand My Wife Will Buy

This winter brought us a horrific rodent problem. My wife has tried various brands of glue traps to catch them, but the Catchmaster traps have outperformed them all. It's the only brand she will buy.
