Humane Bucket-Top Rodent Catcher for Mice & Young Rats – Reusable Live Trap with Weighted Ramp – Safe for Pets & Kids

Catch Rodents Safely Without Poison or Snap Traps

This ingenious bucket-top trap lets you capture mice and young rats alive, without exposing your pets or children to dangerous poisons, glue boards, or spring-loaded snaps. The weighted plank design rests securely on any standard 5-gallon bucket, creating a walk-the-plank mechanism that tips when a rodent ventures out for the bait. Once caught, you can release the animal far from your home or dispose of it humanely—no contact with filth, disease, or carcasses required. The entire system is nontoxic, reusable, and easy to set up in garages, basements, barns, or sheds. Simply add a few inches of water to the bucket (or leave it dry for live release), bait the end of the plank with peanut butter or seeds, and let the trap do the work overnight. You'll wake up to a cleaner, rodent-free space without the guilt or hazard of traditional kill traps.
