Rat Trap Cage

Dealing with mice or rats in the home is an unpleasant but common problem, particularly in kitchens, storage areas, and gardens. Most solutions involve poison or snap traps — both of which kill the rodent and create a separate disposal problem. The Rat Trap Cage takes a different approach: it catches the rodent alive, unharmed, and allows you to release it away from your home.

The cage is 32cm long — large enough to accommodate both mice and small rats — and constructed from clear plastic with a black frame. The transparent body means you can check whether the trap has been triggered without opening it or getting close. The trigger mechanism is sensitive and reliable, snapping the entry door shut when the rodent steps on the pressure plate inside.

How It Works

Place bait — food scraps, peanut butter, or grain — on the bait platform inside the cage. Position the cage along a wall or in an area where rodent activity has been observed. When the rodent enters and reaches the bait, it triggers the pressure plate, which releases the door mechanism and closes the entry. The rodent is contained safely inside.

To release, carry the cage to an outdoor location away from your home and open the door. The rodent exits without any handling required.

Reusable

Unlike poison or adhesive traps that are single-use, this cage can be reset and reused indefinitely. Clean it between uses, rebait, and reposition. It is a one-time purchase that handles an ongoing problem without recurring costs or recurring disposal of dead rodents.
