Will it hold a large rat?

It is built for mice, voles and chipmunks. A full-grown rat is close to the cage's height and width, so a larger rat trap is a better fit.

Fold the cage open, bait the pedal area with peanut butter or similar, and set the door so the pedal holds it. The door drops and locks when a rodent steps on the plate.

Can I release the animal without touching it?

No. You carry the cage by its hook and open the rear door by hand away from your home. Gloves are sensible.

Is it safe around cats and dogs?

The cage is non-toxic and does not kill, but a curious pet could spring it or get a paw caught. Place it where pets cannot reach.

Does it work outdoors in rain?

Galvanized iron resists rust, but the trip mechanism works best dry. Shelter it or bring it in during heavy rain.

What bait works best?

Sweet, strong-smelling foods: peanut butter, nutella, cheese or dried fruit. Put a small amount behind the pedal so the rodent must step on it.

Our take on the Foldable Humane Live Rodent Trap Cage

This is a single-door live-catch cage trap made of galvanized iron, sized for mice, voles and chipmunks rather than large rats. A gravity pedal trips the door the moment a rodent steps on it, and a rear lock hook keeps the catch inside. It folds flat for storage and has a carry hook, which sets it apart from rigid one-piece traps. It suits homeowners, garages and restaurants that want catch-and-release rather than poison or snap traps.
