Wooden Base Live Catch Mouse Trap Small 11.5 x 5.5 x 5.5cm (AT55)

Wooden Base Live Catch Mouse Trap: Humane Wire Cage Trap (Small)

The Wooden Base Mouse Trap is a humane, live-catch cage trap for catching mice alive so you can release them away from your home. Built from galvanised iron wire on a solid wooden base, it is a simple, no-kill option for anyone who would rather deal with a mouse without poison, glue boards or snap traps. This is the small size, measuring 11.5 x 5.5 x 5.5cm.

The trap uses a one-way entry design. The mouse is drawn in by the bait, enters through the trip door, and is then held securely inside the wire cage without being harmed. Because it holds the animal alive and unhurt, it is a sensible choice for households with children and pets, and for anyone who prefers a more humane approach to rodent control.

The galvanised wire construction is rust-resistant and built to last, so the trap can be rinsed out and reused season after season rather than thrown away. Its compact size makes it easy to position along walls, in cupboards, under sinks or behind appliances where mice tend to run.

How to Use

Place a small amount of bait, such as peanut butter, chocolate or a piece of seed or grain, inside the trap toward the far end past the trip door. Set the door and position the trap flat along a wall or skirting board, close to where you have seen droppings, gnaw marks or other signs of mouse activity, since mice travel along edges rather than out in the open. Check the trap regularly. Once a mouse is caught, release it well away from the house so it does not simply return, then rinse the trap and reset it.

Getting the Best From It

Mice follow wall lines, so the trap works best pushed right up against a wall rather than out in the open. Set it in the evening, as mice are most active at night, and check it first thing in the morning so any caught mouse isn't left too long. For an active problem, running a couple of traps along the same wall improves your odds. Handling the trap as little as possible also helps, since heavy human scent can make wary mice cautious of a new object.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a humane trap?
Yes. It is a live-catch cage trap that holds a mouse unharmed so you can release it outside, rather than killing it.

Is it reusable?
Yes. The galvanised wire is rust-resistant and built to last, so it can be rinsed out and reset many times.

What bait works best?
Strong-smelling foods like peanut butter, chocolate or seed work well. Only a small amount is needed, placed toward the far end of the trap.

Where should I place it?
Along a wall or skirting board near signs of mouse activity such as droppings or gnaw marks. Mice travel along edges, so wall placement catches far more than open floor.

Can I use it outdoors as well as indoors?
Yes. It can be used indoors or in sheltered outdoor spots. Keeping it out of heavy rain helps preserve the wooden base and the galvanised wire.
