Description
Check out our last trap.
We call it the Tunnel Trap. We made it more compact and with a tunnel over the plank to keep those extremely skittish mice from jumping off the plank before they get dropped into the bucket. The smaller size allows us to charge a bit less for it.
NEW IMPROVED Mouse Trap: The flap and body are thicker with a beefed up hinge!
Touchless sensor triggers the microcontroller to actuate a servo motor to drop the rodent into a bucket. Then resets for the next victim.
It takes 4 hours and 44 minutes to print plastic parts of the trap.
3 Options available:
1.(AC/DC Powered) 120 VAC wall plug and battery holder. Runs on AC power or Battery.
2.(Kit Self assembled) For the Hobbyist, order the kit and assemble your own save some money. (soldering required). Kit contains Pro Mini version. PCB NOT AVAILABLE for kit at this time. See the “Kit build instructions” webpage for details on assembly.
3. (Battery Powered) The new version has a custom printed circuit board (PCB) which makes assembly quicker so we are able to sell at a lower price. All the circuitry is surface mounted on the circuit board and only has only a couple solder points so much more reliable ( less failure points). Runs on Batteries only.
Battery powered options require 4 AA batteries to operate. Batteries NOT included.
Colors vary: Olive Green, Flat Grey or Flat Black.
Ramp and Bucket NOT included.

Wow, this is the best mouse trap I have come across. Works great. Caught a bucket full of mice in the first week.

I thought this product was going to be really great. However, the majority of this product is made from a very weak material. It broke twice before I could even set it up in a bucket. Another part, the plank reset arm, weakened so much that the plank does not fully go all the way back up. There are several modifications and upgrades this trap needs. I build all kinds of things myself and I would have made several modifications to it if this was my product. This trap is a great concept, but needs plenty more upgrades before it should keep being sold.

We offered Clay free replacements with the new improved Mouse Traps. He chose to upgrade to the Long Flap Rat trap. We hope he is happy with his new trap.

The first version of this design was quite flimsy. I recently received the newest version and it is quite stout. I put the batteries in and baited it with peanut butter and it has been working flawlessly for a week. Caught 6 mice so far!
