Catchmaster Max-Catch Mouse & Insect Glue Trap 36PK, Mouse Traps Indoor for Home, Sticky Pest Control Adhesive Tray for Catching Bugs, Rats & Rodents, Non Toxic Bulk Unscented Glue Boards

I got home at 2am Friday morning, went fix a glass of water and noticed wood shavings all over the top of my toaster oven. I opened the cabinet above it to stare down a small, what I would call a barn mouse. I tried to capture it in a bowl to release outside, but it got away, so I got on Amazon and ordered these for same delivery. I got home from work on Friday evening about 10pm and these were at my doorstep. I cleaned all the food out of the cabinet and laid a couple down flat inside. Then I folded a couple up and put them behind the toaster oven on the counter, coffee maker, and refrigerator. All areas I saw “evidence”(iykyk). It is now 6:30pm on Saturday, I heard a soft noise from the kitchen. I went in to check and one of the folded traps from behind the coffee maker was in the floor. Picked it up and there he was struggling trying to get free. Picked it up, put it in the same Amazon the product was delivered in and carried it out to the dumpster. It worked in less than 24 hours and less than 48 hours after seeing the mouse, it was caught. Now hopefully there isn’t more, but there probably is so I have replaced that trap. My only negative about this trap as an animal lover is that the poor thing will likely die on the trap in the dumpster instead of getting free and going to live its live free in the woods where it belongs. But living in an HOA condo, I didnt want to risk it getting into another unit by using oil on the trap to free it. Update: it is now 11:30pm and just caught a second one. Hopefully the last one, but probably not. I could hear it squeaking from the bedroom, its whole body was stuck, so so I quickly put it in a bag and took it to the dumpster. Fingers crossed there aren’t more, but it is probably a whole family. Update 11/6: I caught a third one yesterday in my kitchen and took some action to seal up some possible entry points. I haven’t seen any new activity in the kitchen, but did find some evidence in the guest bathroom sink base, but not sure when it showed up since it isnt routinely used but I set a trap in there now too. Hoping I got them all!

They say this product is not rated for rats (it’s too small and lightweight). Oh, I caught one all right. Dumb bugger ran right across it and got all four feet stuck. He was about 6” long. However, your mileage may vary. Catchmaster also makes larger and heavier boards specifically for rats. Also, these are great for catching spiders, if you have little cracks that they keep pouring out of. Also also… they will catch your dog, the handyman, and whatever else touches it 🤣

Had a bunch of sprickets when I lived in the basement of my college house.(ew) These helped catch so many of them!! I did prefer to tape the sheets down to the floor though so that they didn’t move. Super sticky.

They are sticky, good enough to use for smaller rats and baby groundhogs.
