Excellent and Humane
First little mouse caught on the second day. Reloaded and waiting for number 2.
Mickey was caught and was unharmed and released into the wild far enough away that he won’t return.
It works!
Set up with peanut butter and caught the mouse humanely in less than an hour!
So pleased as my husband was sceptical and wanted a kill trap
Let the mouse out in garden, kept the cats in overnight and hopefully that’s it but will definitely use again if needed.
Also v pleased it was delivered next day, Sunday, despite saying Tuesday.
It Works!
Left it down for two days and caught a big mouse. Very kind on the animal which can safely be released away from the house later on. Reusable too which is great.
Easy, humane way to catch a mouse for release.
Easy to see up and use, humane way to catch a mouse for release. this is our 2 nd one.
So far caught and released 8 field mice over the last year.
Caught 2 this week, one within an hour of setting the trap in our pantry! Released to a field 2 miles away.
Excellent produc
Purchased this mouse trap after yet another live donation to the household by our cat. Success rate has been 100%. Easy to use and extremely humane way of catching the mice. Four in total so far! We would highly recommend.
Perfect: A trap that actually works!
Been through loads of traps over the years. I found one that actually traps mice. Every time I set it, next day, there’s a mouse. And you can take it apart and clean it between sets. Just watch out that you put the little pusher rod through the right hole when re-assembling it.
Let the mouse go in a field and pray it is not a homing mouse!
I strongly recommend this.
Good
Super friendly mouse / rat trap. We used it in our loft space because neighbours heard some scratching sounds. Nuts in a shell did not help. So we used peanut butter instead and sure enough there was a live
mouse. We just set it free in the fields near by. Trap worked for us, not sure when people say theres a weight requirement for example if it is a very light rodent the trap will not set off. Our mouse was pretty small so…
Mouse Motel Works!
Arrived this evening, needed to read the instructions to get it set up at first. Poured some oats into the tray, left for a few hours and voila! One uninjured little rodent to relocate in the morning. Thank you Motel Mouse!
First night success 🐭
We successfully caught and released our tiny friend thanks to this amazing, humane Mouse Hotel.
It was easy to set-up and my sons loved to help release the mouse back outside.
First night success, so we would highly recommend
Did the job
Worked like a dream. Once I put in the Tuesday right room he was caught the same night. Not sure how long he was in there, I can only assume over night or at least a few hours in the morning, kept him safe in. A little difficult to thoroughly clean but still a great produc
I've tried them all. These are the best humane mouse traps.
I have tried all the various humane mouse traps and these have been the best by a country mile. Fill the end with peanut butter and sunflower seeds and/or kernels. Leave a little trail (not too many) to the entrance with seeds so they become more confident to enter the trap further each time and bingo you got them. I even caught two at the same time when the second mouse chased the first one! I have a camera pointed at the traps so I am alerted when the mice appear. Better than TV these days!
Worked first nigh
So we ordered this after seeing a mouse running around the sitting room. We received it the next day and put it out before going to bed. Woke up the next morning to find the mouse caught and safe. I was told by a friend that these didn’t work, but they definitely do. We used chocolate spread for the bait and the mouse obviously loved it.
3 mice in 3 days
Just works. Used grass seed as bait after discovering mice eating grass seed in a store cupboard. Used the original packaging box each time to transport the trap and mouse about 1mile away and release. Cleaned, reset..
4 down - how many more?
Design is very good. Extremely sensitive – had to experiment with the size of the bit of cheese and its placement to avoid setting it off continuously. Cleaning is reasonably easy but can be a bit messy. Bought two traps and have caught 4 mice in 4 days! Thinking of buying more! Humanely released.
The best traps we've ever used
We have caught and released soooo many mice using these traps!! We have 6 of them so we can catch a few mice at a time; my mum gets them in her loft every winter so it’s nice and easier to release them together. I love the fact that you can put a little water in the trough at the back, as well as the food, so you can leave them overnight. I’ve even started to put a bit of tissue in there too so they have something to chew on! If we hear noises in the loft we set the traps in the evening and just expect to find them sat in there come morning. Digestive biscuits and peanuts are our bait choices. We’ve never had a mouse that has chewed the trap or escaped.
Very effective
I was very aware we had a mouse problem and bought this mousetrap. The first night I put this in the location where I knew the mouse was roaming I found it in the trap the following morning. The second night a mouse ate the bait but did not trigger the trap. I suspect I did not clear the seeds out properly from the trap. Having cleaned it fully I then caught four further mice on subsequent nights. Since when, i am pleased to say, I now no longer appear to have a problem. It’s easy to use, easy to clean and works well. All the mice survived the process. You do have to take the mouse some way from your home to release it into the wild so it doesn’t return.
Unlike others, actually works
After having bought a pack of three of another type of trap(different manufacturer) (which were hopless and the mice just used a vending machine, even hanging around to use as a loo) this straight away seemed a better built product.
Easy to set and open (the bait end could be a better designed though for ease of opening, not a major issue though)
There is a metallised plate by where you put the feed which serves to reinforce against where the mouse may try and gnaw out to freedom. Simple and effectively engineered.
The trigger is alot more sensitive than the other I have tried and caught Timmy IV on the first go
This trap works really well. It gives plenty of space to a trapped mouse, unlike the old ‘humane traps, in which mice often died.
When the trap arrived, I unboxed it and tried out the mechanism, which is ingenious. I put nuts in the food tray and placed the trap on the kitchen floor ready for later. I was very surprised when a mouse appeared on the kitchen table, especially when it ran down to the floor and into the trap, which promptly closed.
We set the trap for the following two evenings, soaking it in warm water in between to clear it. On both occasions there was a mouse inside in the morning. Problem solved, at least for the moment.
All three mice seemed relatively undistressed and sat quietly while being taken out into the surrounding countryside in the car. They ran away quickly when released.
I thoroughly recommend this mouse trap. It’s a huge improvement on the older designs.
Efficient trap
I found this trap much more efficient than the previous small one I have used. I caught 3 mice in 2 nights and currently don’t seem to have any further problem. Less stress for the mice who have room to move whilst waiting for release.
Recommended bait includes sticky substances like peanut butter. I personally wouldn’t recommend these as they make a mess, stick to the mouse causing further distress. I used crumbled biscuits. Also, because the trap is a bit fiddly to clean – a dropping is now stuck under the trip plate.
Another slight complaint is that the small lever to raise the lid is fiddly to use and I had difficulty releasing it when trying to free the mouse, stressing us both out.
Mouse, what mouse?
I was surprised, I wanted to remove a mouse from our bedroom, it must be death as I had bought sound repellants as I didn’t want to kill him. Well the trap was easy to use and set up, so as it arrived late I set it up the next day whilst the mouse was a sleep. I put a bit of a corn snack in the trap and left it against a wall. I woke up with the trap closing. The mouse was in a bit of distress so I coaxed him until it was time to take the wife to work. I found a quiet spot near where the wife worked, removed the trap from the car and let the mouse out. When he realised I wasn’t going to kill him he was gone. Two days and I now have a quiet bedroom and an empty trap, washed and cleaned for next time. What a result, 5 stars is the least I can give it.
Very good I am pleased
I knew there was a mouse in the outbuilding and it was giving me the creeps not knowing where it was going to jump out but hamster food in there cheese didn’t work! Put it near the hole it was coming from!
security
it worked a treat, when it arrived, I set it up and we had a mouse inside 2 hours and then regularly until we had caught 30 of the little critters. Used peanut butter and cat food biscuits, (they like the cat food as they had eaten a bag of it before we found cause!) Only problem was that the final one was found at eleven in the evening when it was hissing down with rain! So I left it till the morning and found trap empty, triggered, bait gone and no mouse! Examination found a chewed hole in the body of the trap! So make sure you keep an eye on the trap and empty as soon as possible if you catch something. Still a great buy, so much so that I have just ordered a replacement, even though our problem seems to be sorted!
Very effective mousetrap!
I literally put this trap up in my bedroom yesterday while I slept on the couch thinking that this trap wouldn’t work, but surprisingly it works very well. I caught one medium sized mouse. When I walked into my bedroom quite anxiously cus I’m terrified of mice, I quickly opened my bedroom and took a peek at the mousetrap, the mousetrap door was closed and right there and then I knew I caught that little bastard. I was terrified while I approached the trap and the mouse was in there. I ran out of my room and asked my parents to remove the nuisance. I used pistachios nuts as bait since I didn’t have ordinary nuts.
Six Mice So Far!
After hearing a noise in my loft I ordered the Mouse Motel which arrived on Saturday afternoon. By 8pm that same night I’d caught the first mouse (using peanuts as the bait) and released it in the local park. By midnight I’d caught a second mouse and a third was caught by morning.
Since then I’ve caught a further 3 mice. All six have been safely rehomed to the park. Clearly, I’d say that the Mouse Motel has been a big success and I’d highly recommend it.
Safely caught in a few hours
I just got this today at lunchtime and the furry little critter was trapped and released by six o’clock! Used crunchy peanut butter. I got a more expensive one at the local hardware shop and didn’t work. Little fella was a bit distressed so I wrapped the trap in a scarf and realised him into the woods. Caught more later that evening and the next day. 2 adults and around six babies. Five stars for speedy delivery, cost and effectiveness.
Nearly Perfec
Thank You. Good quality Transparent humane “Motel Mouse” trap supplied by Quihica. Easy to use and effective. I like the fact that it isn’t partly black plastic as this makes it easier to have a look at the mouse from underneath to tell whether it is a wood mouse or a house mouse. Very good feature is that the door opening switch is not flush, it sticks out just a little bit which makes it 100% easier to release the mouse than some makes. It is a bit short but this is mainly due to a shorter feeding bay and trigger platform, so there is still little chance of the mouse’s tail being amputated when the door shuts which is one of the biggest advantages of this style of trap. You could say it is optimal in that it uses the minimum amount of materials to get the job done. Would be greatly improved if the feeding bay at the end that you get to by squeezing and removing the non Trapdoor end did not have a high lip which prevents easy cleaning. You remove the end but there is still a barrier at the bottom that prevents cleaning up what the mouse has left behind with a cloth. So far [only 2 mice] the trigger platform is absolutely brilliant – it is weighted correctly for a mouse so you do not need to use any coins to weigh it down.
Very effective
I’ve bought several of these over the last few months to manage mice trying to establish underneath our decking. Using peanut butter as bait, we’ve caught quite a few and released them the recommended distance away. However, overnight one peanut-powered mouse recently escaped by chewing or scratching through the thin edge of plastic at the top of the plastic door (see photo), making the trap useless. I’ve noticed similar damage appearing on a second trap in the exact same place, and it won’t be long before the hole is made big enough for another great escape and another trap ruined. I think this area needs to be reinforced with a thin metal strip if there is ever a redesign. Overall though, they work well and are easy to manage.
Updated to add a new photo – one week later and the second trap has now been chewed through in the same place.
Not your average mouse trap
I bought the Motel Mouse Humane Mouse Trap because I wanted a humane way to deal with a small mice problem. The Motel Mouse Humane Mouse Trap seems to have been designed in a very considerate way, it is very simple to use, has a highly sensitive trigger mechanism that doesn’t make the capture “aggressive” and certainly won’t harm any visitors staying the night.
I bought a pack of two and cycle them in one location, in the first week we caught several mice before they stopped visiting. I was impressed by how effective this design is. The mice did not seem stressed or harmed. They were able to eat the bait (crumbled Hobnobs) and rest inside the trap until I released them a short drive away the next morning. The trap is also easy to clean with hot water and soap. I just rinse and repeat for the next catch.
They do feel slightly overpriced, but I would recommend the Motel Mouse Humane Mouse Trap to anyone who wants a humane, safe, and effective solution for catching and releasing mice.
Mousie Captured Safely!
Our cat Bert brought in a mouse at 3am, got bored and let it go. It set up home behind the washing machine (I saw it when I came downstairs at 6am but it scarpered back to its safe place) so, reluctant to rip out half the kitchen, I ordered this humane mouse trap. It arrive at 2.15pm, was in pace at 3.00pm and Mousie was caught, transported to the back garden and released behind the shed (in apparent perfect health I might add) by 7.45pm.
Happy me, happy mouse, very annoyed cat. Cat now appeased with Dreamies. 10/10 for this item!
My neighbour has a very untidy garden, doorless shed packed full of rubbish, overgrown grass/weeds, dog poo and also leaves dog food outside when it’s dry.
I saw a little critter run from beneath our adjoining fences and somehow get into my shed through the tiniest gap beneath the door.
I ordered one of these, set it up, which was simple to do and caught speedy gonzales within an hour.
I thought I’d put it in again on the off chance that there might be more.
Well I’ve caught 3 in 3 days, possibly a family as they’re a variety of sizes.
I just ordered 2 more traps in the hopes I can get more in one go.
I’d highly recommend this product, little to no assembly needed, easy to clean but best of all works great.
I’ve used peanut butter (Tesco own, they ain’t getting my organic one lol).
Bought this as we have 2 cats who regularly bring in live mice and this one had been living under / in the back of the fridge for a while. usually we catch them with a long rule and a pair of wellies but as he’d been there a while it seemed easier to set a trap overnight.
So got the trap and put some thin slices of Cadbury’s fudge inside. THe mouse loved the fudge which he ate all of but wasn’t in the trap. I checked the operation of the trap and is seemed fine. So night 2 I put fruit and nuts and some random frosting off a cake inside. This he was less impressed by but still came and ate some of the bait and left before morning.
So for night 3 I examined the function of the trap and noticed that it’s possible for the trap door to sit slightly forward and not be in a position to fall when the pressure plate pulls out the latch on the side of the trap. So when I put it down on day (filled with Mars bar slices) 3 I made sure that the door was resting against the latch by gently pushing the door towards the opening. This time it worked perfectly.
We have used this trap to tremendous effect over several years at various locations in our house.
Sometimes it needs to be left in place for a few nights before the little creatures venture in and are caught for later release 2 miles away.
Sometimes after 2 nights without success a re positioning does the trick.
Normal bait is broken up chocolate biscuit.
But for the last 3 nights a mouse who has been watching Mission Impossible is defeating the trap.
Night one, the trap was sprung, the door closed but no mouse, and no bait!!! How???
Nights two and three, trap doesn’t spring, but NO BAIT in the morning???
Has anyone ever experienced this? Pressure plate seems as sensitive as ever, trap as always has been released. Is mouse using a hover device? Suction pads? Or what?
My experience would definitely lead me to recommend this humane product, but have the mice learned how to hack the system?
As much as we liked seeing the little mouse in the garage, he started to chew through crash helmets, cycling gear and workout gear so he had to be re-homed! we love animals and wanted something totally safe and easy to catch him and relocate in the woods outside our town. I used some dog friendly peanut butter in the tray then pressed in some nuts and seed, be careful not to spill your bait under the part of the floor which triggers the trap (obvious) and I set it on the floor against the wall in the garage, it’s very easy to set with no nasty springs or anything. The other thing is there is no chance of hurting the mouse really unlike other so called humane traps which can catch their legs etc. The very next morning our mouse was chilling in the trap eating his bait! I put him in the car and drove the recommended couple of miles away and put down some seed then set him free. It’s worth saying that when you set the mouse free this is also very easy and with no risk of hurting yourself or the mouse. Also, as the door slides open upwards there is no chance of the mouse running up your arm or biting you in panic either. Our little friend darted off into the woods and hopefully will find a new home there.
If you have a mouse problem, don’t hesitate, or go cheap, get this set.
It’s a neat trap, beautifully made in enticing packaging. The name mouse motel and the warm brown colour made it all the more “humane”.
It’s easy to put bait in, easy to set, the step mechanism and door work great. It’s also easy to release the mouse, there is nothing I would improve. We couldn’t believe to find one mouse in each trap in our garage after the first night. It’s essential by the way to check the trap EVERY DAY because a trapped mouse will starve and dehydrate to death very quickly and that’s everything but humane.
Cleaning: The captured mouse poos a lot and makes a fair mess inside but it’s very very easy to rinse out the tunnel after. The only place that’s tricky to clean is when debris gets stuck under the step. Dismantling the tunnel was a bit awkward and I was worried to crack the plastic parts. Perhaps a wire will be better to fish out the stuck debris.
All in all: brilliant!
Update: after catching some mice we caught a young rat (3rd image), which must have had a tremendous panic attack in the trap trying to get out and injured its snout in the process, shaving some hair off. I think the metal end plate with holes might cause risk of injury in a frantic animal. Yes it was a rat not a mouse, just a thought. It didn’t look too humane at the time.
