Simple to set up and easy to reuse, it blends safety with practicality for any space where rodents are a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to fit a standard 5-gallon bucket, the trap uses a ramp leading to a counter-weighted platform. Rodents step onto the platform to reach the bait, and their weight tips the platform forward, sending them into the bucket below. Once a capture occurs, the platform automatically resets, ready for the next rodent. Bait is placed inside the tunnel, away from the moving mechanism, ensuring the weight of the trap isn’t affected and the bait stays put for subsequent visits.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey benefits for you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumane and non-toxic:\u003c\/strong\u003e avoids poisons and painful traps, reducing suffering for animals and risk to your household.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet-friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e safe to use in homes with cats, dogs, or other pets when placed as directed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable design:\u003c\/strong\u003e a durable, easy-to-clean solution you can deploy again and again without replacement parts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapable of multi-capture:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to catch several mice at once, or multiple rats over time, making it suitable for larger infestations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e can be used indoors or outdoors, including garages, sheds, barns, or any area where rodent activity is suspected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e quick to wash with soap and water or a mild bleach solution; disassembly is straightforward for thorough cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e sturdy PP plastic designed for durability and long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e lid diameter 30 cm; lid height 8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e vibrant yellow for visibility and easy monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 bucket lid trap with swing platform (bucket not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePractical setup and best practices\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition the trap close to a wall where activity is suspected to maximize encounters.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlace bait inside the tunnel, ensuring it isn’t on the swinging platform to keep the mechanism balanced.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandle the trap with gloves to minimize contact with vermin and reduce bacterial transmission.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter a capture, dispose of the rodent humanely and reload the trap for reuse.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean the lid and bucket separately with mild soap and water, or sanitize with a safe bleach solution when needed; ensure everything is fully dry before reusing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIdeal use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bucket trap is well-suited for garages, workshops, sheds, barns, and outdoor spaces where rodents frequent walls or corners.
