Top Hole Entry Wire Mouse Trap, Set of 5 – Reusable Live Mouse Traps for Multiple Mice

Live Mouse Traps That Catch Multiple Mice

This set of 5 top hole entry wire mouse traps gives you reusable live mouse traps that can catch more than one mouse at a time without poison or snapping bars. Each mouse trap measures 18cm long, 10.5cm wide and 6.5cm high and is made from rust-resistant galvanised wire. With five traps in the set, you can cover several hot spots at once, such as the kitchen, pantry, garage, shed and roof access, for faster control of a mouse problem.

How the Top Hole Entry Trap Works

The trap has a one-way entry hole on top that leads down through a narrow wire funnel into the cage. Mice climb up onto the trap, attracted by the bait inside, and drop through the hole to reach it. The funnel design means they cannot climb back out the way they came in. Because the mechanism has no springs or triggers, the trap stays set after each catch, so it can keep catching further mice that follow.

Why Choose a Multi-Catch Mouse Trapper

Mice are social and often travel in groups, so a single snap trap usually catches only one before it needs resetting. A multi-catch mouse trapper like this keeps working, holds the mice alive and can be emptied and reused over and over. It contains no poison, so there is no risk of mice dying in walls or of pets eating bait, and there are no snapping parts to catch fingers.

How to Set Mouse Traps for Best Results

• Bait it: place a small amount of peanut butter, rolled oats, seeds or bread inside the cage, below the entry hole
• Place it along walls: mice travel along edges and behind objects rather than across open floors, so set traps against walls, behind appliances and in cupboards
• Use all five: put traps near droppings, gnaw marks and entry gaps in different rooms for the quickest results
• Keep it level and steady: set traps on a flat surface so mice can climb on and drop in easily
• Avoid strong smells: handle traps with gloves so your scent does not put mice off

Checking and Releasing Mice Humanely

Live traps must be checked often. The RSPCA advises checking live traps at least every morning, so captured mice are not left to suffer from stress, hunger, thirst, heat or cold. Plan what you will do with captured mice before setting traps, and follow local animal welfare guidance. After emptying, wash the trap with warm soapy water, disinfect it, let it dry and reset it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you set a top hole mouse trap?

Place a little bait inside the cage below the entry hole, then set the trap level against a wall where mice travel. There is nothing to arm or trigger, so the trap is ready as soon as it is baited.

How many mice can it catch at once?

It is a multi-catch trap, so it can hold more than one mouse at a time. Check traps at least every morning and empty them promptly.

What bait works best for live mouse traps?

Peanut butter, rolled oats, seeds or a small piece of bread work well. Use a small amount so mice have to enter the trap to reach it.

What is the best mouse trap in Australia?

The best mouse traps in Australia depend on your situation. For catching several mice without poison or snapping bars, a reusable multi-catch live trap like this is a practical choice, especially as a set you can place in different rooms.

Will it work as a rat trap?

No. This trap is sized for mice, and the top entry hole is too small for rats. Use a trap designed specifically for rats if you have a rat problem.
