The Havahart 1020 Live Animal trap is a humane mouse trap designed to catch mice in a safe way. This product is a little different than other traps as it is made out of metal instead of plastic. The good news about the metal is that it is rust resistant. The mesh openings for this trap help prevent stolen bait and escaping. The trigger is on the outside, which makes escape impossible. The trap has two doors which are controlled by gravity. This allows the mouse to enter through either side. The sensitive trigger makes sure of quick and secure capture.
If you have a problem with other small animals besides mice, this is also good for that. The product is 3 x 3 x 10 inches and weighs one pound. Other animals it can catch include shrews and chipmunks. The mesh cage makes sure that the mouse lives by allowing excellent oxygen flow. It is designed to be simple. Just place peanut butter on an object like a cracker or toilet paper on the trigger and wait. After using it for a year, make sure to oil the trigger and other parts. Or else the mouse may escape with your bait and be free.
When you clean this trap, be careful. The walls of the cage can be bent with a little pressure. This can damage your trap permanently by preventing easy movement of the doors and bait-table. It is important to be careful when releasing it. Both doors open so make sure to hold the door closest to you closed or else the mice might run up your arm and scare you.
