Wanqueen Live-Capture Rodent Traps 2-Pack — Galvanized Steel Humane Mouse & Rat Cages, Reusable Sensitive Trigger

These Wanqueen two-pack live-capture cages safely trap rats, mice and small rodents without glue, poison or lethal force.

Designed for repeat use around homes, gardens and outbuildings, each lightweight galvanized-steel cage lets you bait, catch and release rodents humanely. The compact rectangular profile encourages rodents to enter naturally, a sensitive trigger snaps the door shut, and a secure lock keeps the animal contained until you release it away from your property.

How does the trap capture animals without harming them?

The mechanism relies on a pressure-sensitive pedal and a spring-loaded door. When a rodent steps onto the pedal to reach the bait, the trigger releases and the entrance door closes quickly, locking the animal inside without injury.

• Galvanized-steel body resists sharp edges and rust while remaining lightweight.
• Precision trigger and pedal offer high sensitivity for small rodents.
• Locking latch secures the door so the animal cannot escape.
• No glue, poison or electricity — fully mechanical and reusable.

Where can I use these traps effectively?

These cages work indoors and outdoors: place them in kitchens, basements, garages, garden sheds or near entry points where you’ve seen activity. Their compact shape fits narrow runways and under decks, and the neutral metal finish blends into most environments.

• Indoor: behind appliances, in pantries or basements where droppings appear.
• Outdoor: along fences, near compost bins, or under porches where rodents travel.
• Portable: light enough to relocate as activity patterns change.
• Weather-resistant finish for short-term outdoor placements.

What species and sizes will this cage hold?

The interior dimensions (approximately 10.6 x 5.5 x 4.7 inches) are sized for mice, rats, chipmunks and similar small rodents. The footprint gives animals enough room to enter and move toward bait, improving capture reliability while remaining compact for discreet placement.

• Suitable for small to medium rodents such as mice, young rats and chipmunks.
• Not designed for large wild animals or pets — check local wildlife guidelines before release.
• Cage size prevents accidental capture of larger non-target animals when placed carefully.
• Reusable for ongoing rodent management with straightforward baiting and cleaning.

How do I bait, release and maintain the trap?

Baiting is simple: place attractive food on the trigger plate to lure the animal in. After capture, carry the closed cage to a distant release point, open the latch to let the animal go, then wash and dry the cage before reusing.

• Use peanut butter, seeds, nuts or fruit as bait for best results.
• Wear gloves when handling used traps and clean with mild soap and water.
• Check traps regularly to avoid prolonged confinement of captured animals.
• Store dry to prevent corrosion and keep the mechanism functioning smoothly.

Who is this for: Wanqueen’s 2-pack of humane live-capture cages is suited to homeowners and renters who prefer non-lethal pest control, gardeners protecting plants from chipmunks, and anyone who wants a reusable, chemical-free solution for small rodent problems. These traps are practical for people seeking a straightforward, portable system that balances capture reliability with the ability to release animals responsibly.
