Kat Sense Sticky Rat Traps 'N Mouse Glue Traps That Work for Trapping Snakes Spiders Roaches N Other Rodents, 2 XL Large Heavy Duty Clear Pre Baited Mats, Indoor Outdoor Non Multi Catch Pest Trap

After years of never seeing a mouse in our apartment building, our building developed a mouse problem in 2021. I think all the empty storefronts on our NYC block post-pandemic were to blame. We hired a local handyman to come in and plug up any holes where the mice might be entering. Occasionally one would still sneak into our apartment. We tried trap after trap: different snap traps, catch and release humane traps, other glue traps, all with mixed results. But this glue trap, once we started using it, it would catch the mouse every time. Unlike other glue traps, this one can be spread across an entire doorway, meaning the mouse has to try to run across it to get through. No safe spaces like with interlocking glue traps. The Kat Sense glue trap is VERY sticky. Great for catching mice, not so great if it gets on you. I recommend using disposable gloves when setting it up. I set the glue trap up in a U-shape, scotch taping the ends to the wall. I usually set it up in the entryway to my kitchen right before heading to bed, since mice seem to be most active when the lights are off and humans aren't around. The next morning, if the mouse is caught, the whole thing gets folded up on itself and goes right in the garbage. But if it hasn't caught anything, I'll fold it in half, stash it somewhere out of reach of my kids and set it back up again that night. I've used the Kat Sense mouse trap four times now, and have killed four mice. If you have a mouse problem, I highly recommend this mouse trap!

This product was totally worthless for me! No quality control for the glue quality or the harsh plastic smell that will also deter many trap averse cautious mice. The only positive aspect of this purchase is that there's a money-back guarantee which I'm certainly going to utilize! 1-The glue is so weak and thin that it's easy for any rodent to escape. (SEE VIDEO) It is 75 degrees in my home so there's no way the room temperature caused this. 2-Plastic smell is too strong... it smelled like a newly opened shower curtain. It was so strong that mice would walk up to it cautiously, as they got closer and sniffed it, they would jump back away from it and then avoided it altogether! 3-The one mouse that did manage to walk on it ate the bait and walked right off. Now that it has the nasty, thin sticky glue on it, it will never go near it again! 4- Not the best design. The trap does not lay fully flat. Due to it being shipped folded, there are ripples that did not allow the strips to lay perfectly flat. Even after I tried to flatten it. This can allow mice to actually lift the edge and go under it if they chose to.

Wear gloves when pulling trap apart to lay on the floor. The adhesive is strong, you want to avoid getting it on your hands. I suggest you place it at night, right before everyone falls asleep so no one in your family accidentally walks on the trap. It is long, transparent and camouflages easily with your floor. We’ve been stuck in quarantine with this little mouse. We don’t know where or how it got in, but everyone in my family was terrified. It kept me from wanting to leave my bedroom at night. This product worked within hours of laying it on the floor. We all witnessed the mouse at one point in the kitchen. I placed one trap by the doorway between the dining room & kitchen at around 9pm. At almost 11:30, we heard a tiny cry of what almost sounded like a bird chirp. We checked the trap and the mouse was finally caught!!!!! We were all afraid to go near it. It was caught on one of the corners so we folded the other side on top of the mouse, threw it into a black garbage bag & immediately took it outside to the garbage can. I recommend this 100%!!!!!

Please handle with caution because this trap really traps! I stepped on it by accident and had a time trying to free myself lol. It also caught fruit flies, a spider, and finally master splinter himself. I recommend you *carefully* cut into smaller pieces to make the trap go a long way.

This is an effective products to trap rats but I would rather not use it if I have a choice. I suddenly saw a rat in our living room on the second floor of the condominium a few weeks ago. These are pretty new units and I have no idea how the rat could end up in our living room. I could not believe my eyes. I have two little ones and I decided to keep it to myself so I do not alarm them until I trap it safely and take it to the woods. But the rat would show up across open space while we are sitting in the living room. My wife saw it when it ran along the wall while we sat and she was standing there talking. That was the first time she saw it and I told her I had seen it already and ordered mouse traps. I got the safe traps that would enclose the rat for disposal without harming it. I got two of them and put peanut butter in there. The rat avoided them at all costs. I hoped everyday that I would find the rat in one of them but it did not take the bait. Then kids started seeing the rat and started to demand to move to another house with not rat. I stated to think about the potential of the rat spreading diseases as it urinates around the carpet where kids always play or on objects which kids pick up and play with. So I was running out of options. So I ordered two more of the enclosure traps and a mouse zapper in case all options of removing it unharmed failed. I also ordered these glue strips. The strips arrived before all the other orders. At this time there was growing anxiety in the house and the kids were scared. Last Monday we had a baby sitter. We did not tell her about a mouse because we did not know how she would react. When we got back home at about 5 pm, she exclaimed “I have good news! We have trapped the mouse in the closet and now it cannot go anywhere!” I said “thank you”. I was relieved she did not have a phobia and ran out of the house leaving the kids but I also amused that she did not realize that the mouse was in its perfect hiding place. This is the day when we got the strips. After the kids went to bed, my wife and I saw the mouse trying to come out of the media closet under the door. I decided to put one of the strips across door. The mouse came out and carefully treaded along the side of the strip where there is no glue and entered our guest bathroom and the went around the strip there to come on out the other side. We were amazed. At this point, I got up to scare the mouse. It ran right across the strip back to the closet. I could not believe it made it across that stuff. After about 30 minutes, it came out again and my wife and I watched it do the same thing it did before. Again, just before it took off to go behind a couch, I suddenly got up to scare it. It dashed toward the closet right on the strip. This time we heard it squeal; it was stuck and every movement it made was making things worse. I quickly got my tool (the thing you use to pick up trash) to try and get it off the glue as fast possible. I tried to grab it and the tool was getting glue all over and realized this was not going to be easy. Everything seemed to seal the rats fate and I did not want the rat to die. I felt really bad. I took the mat with the rat on it outside to the edge of woods and got a paper bag to manually remove it from the strip. I left it there and it seemed lifeless. I just did not know how to remove the glue off the rat at this point to save it. This is aggressive stuff. I went back and talked to my wife and complained how bad I felt. She told me “you did what you could to capture it without harming it”. I did not feel right. So I took Luke warm water in a pray bottle (it was snowy outside) and a bright flashlight. I went to the site but I could not find the rat in dry leaves. So I just started spraying the warm water around and suddenly I saw movement. I turned the rat over with a stick and continued to wash it. The glue started to relax and the rat started to move. I sprayed for as long I could. It had lost some fur to the glue. When I left I prayed that it would survive. I did not go back to check the next day because I was scared to find it dead. A couple of days ago I went there to check and if it was dead, give it a burial. I looked all over the place and I did not see a dead rat. I hope it lived and I prayed for it. This is a long post but I just want you to know that if you are the type that does not want to hurt other creatures, think a lot before you use the strips. If the manufacturer can provide some kind of harmless solution to quickly remove the glue so the rats or mice can go off in the woods, that would be great. If you absolutely have to use this, I would recommend practicing removing the rodent from the glue first on something fake.
