Questions & Answers

I caught a mouse and released it, and there was a lot of poop inside. Some of it shook out, but a good deal did not. Most is trapped under the entry door. How do I clean that area? How do I clean the trap thoroughly?

    Thank you for your inquiry. As long as you remove the trapped mice quickly, it should last a few months or more.

          Does the trap require a sticky pad to or just the trap itself.

          Harris Catch and Release Humane Mouse Trap does not involve a glue trap. Just add a small amount of food type bait such as nuts, peanut butter, cheese or your choice of bait. Thank you. P.F. Harris

              Hello Does the product have an EPA number?

              Answer This Question

              This question is not applicable to the humane, non-lethal mouse trap that I purchased from Home Depot, no EPA number is required with this product. There is no substance (such as a poison) in the trap, it is set with peanut butter as a lure. There is no 'waste' disposal as it is CRUCIAL that you check the trap often and then RELEASE the live mouse outside and away from your home. I hosed the empty traps and soaked them in a pail to clean them. I found the traps work very quickly, so check them often. Hope this helps.

                  Not a poison trap AT ALL. it's a neat trap though.

                      I’m not sure I understand the question.  EPA numbers are for hazardous waste haulers.  I have four of these and they are very effective catch and release mouse traps.  Not something the EPA would be regulating.

                            We bought these a few years ago...I think the door slides up so you can release the mouse. I remeber sometimes a mouse would just take the bait or chew through the plastic to get out. We ended up buying a different brand....Victor Multiple Catch Humane Live Mouse Trap M333 - Catch up to 4 mice... Remember to release them far from your house.You should have holes plugged up before trapping the mice so they can't get back into the house. It will not work for bats. It's best to have a critter control company handle the expulsion of bats. By law, it can only be done a certain time of the year because they are a protected species.

                              Lift back door to release your little friend. It's 50% likely that you can use it to catch bats

                              By|Sep 3, 2024

                                The end opposite the trap door slides up to release the mouse. I doubt if it would work for bats.

                                By|Aug 29, 2022

                                  The mouse will stay at the rear of the trap. If you are leery of sticking your finger inside you can use a popsicle stick or a screw driver to open the door. Do not open the trap in any location where you are not prepared to let the mouse go free. - Question: Bats - You can give it a try but you will need to research what type of bait to use. If you mount it on a wall you should cover it to avoid light. Bat houses are usually skinny slots where the bats can crawl up into and the tube may not be attractive to bats because they are round and they are plastic and difficult for them to grab on to.

                                  By|Nov 24, 2023

                                    When ready to release the mouse slide the 'back door' up. This is the end where you place the bait between panels. This is not designed for use to trap bats. Thank you. P.F. Harris.

                                      When there is a mouse inside you open the back and that slides up and hold the food bait. It might take some time but eventually the mouse will leave. This will not work for bats because it requires the trigger plate to be stepped on.

                                        Cheap plastic that rodents can chew through.
                                        Really not worth it as I caught two mice and they chewed through the small plastic spring tab on two brand new traps that I bought. So it's basically $20 throw aways at this point. Unless Harris can send me new ones my review stands as is; cheap plastic material that rodents can chew through.

                                          I purchased my first Harris Catch and Release Humane Mouse Trap October 2024. It is so easy to use and works 100% of the time. With the translucent plastic it's easy to see if the mouse is inside. Plus it's easy to release the mouse without having to come in contact with it.

                                          Great product
                                          First, this trap works for mice. A rat is too large for this trap. I bated the trap with peanut butter and chocolate chips. I did follow the advice to not touch the trap with my bare hands so the mouse wouldn’t pick up my scent. I wore disposable gloves. The mouse is safely caught in the trap and you can release it. I used hot water to wash out the trap and used it the next day when I found there was a second mouse.

                                            Caught an escaped pet mouse within 12 hours of setting the trap. No harm done to our little buddy Shawshank, and he is back with his brothers. Easy to bait and arm. Trap doesn't hurt the mouse.

                                              I baited this with peanut butter and oats, left it sitting out for about a week, and this morning I found a mouse. I'm so glad I tried these traps!

                                                  This was very easy to set up. My mice seem to like chocolate (they ate my stash), so I used a PB cup piece in the trap. Two were caught on the 1st night in separate traps. I was concerned about them chewing through the plastic but both were safe and sound, and calm, in the morning. They found a lovely new home together miles from my house.
