Thank you for your review. I just bought one of these online. Haven't received it yet but I really hope it works. I bought some glue traps at target and I am returning them because the thought of making a mouse suffer like really hurts my heart.
I'm an old Marine and feel the same way. Just can't do it. Remember, they were here before we moved in. And they have mothers. Glue traps are not humane at all. Torcher. My friend would tell me about a backroom of a big grocery store where they would just throw them still alive into a cardboard compactor machine. He said the mice would scream in pain. Only Havahart for me, thank you very much! I probably keep catching the same mouse night after night. Oh well. I'm heading south to Florida in a few weeks. They can keep an eye on my place.
Thanks so much for this video,. The directions on the product that came with it were not very clear and you helped me to catch a wood rat that is in my earthquake preparedness kit. He's not there any more because I took him a few miles away and close to a water source so he would be able to survive. I'm so glad there is a such thing as a Have a Heart trap!!
We have caught many mice since I posted this 5 years ago. We bought a second trap, and that works too. We put the trap parallel to a wall with only a small space between the wall and trap. We use peanut butter as bait.
it's much better if the show is about "DIY/homemade mousetrap" This is just all about commercial mousetrap. It's the engineers that build these are the geniuses.
Mine came from amazon, very flimsy, the bottom is not flat, and made from very cheap material. The worst part is that it triggers before the mouse even entered the trap.
Jamie Ferro I bought one from Amazon also that was faulty. I called them and they sent me another one. I’ve caught five mice with it so far. I would suggest you call them.
Jamie Ferro Another thing worth mentioning... they are kind of flimsy. So be very gentle with it. There’s another video on here that shows how to set them, it’s made by the manufacture of the trap.Watch it closely before you think about setting it. I had to watch it three times before I tried to set it.Bend it the wrong way once and it’s done, lol. Good luck!
I have a question, we allknow mice can squeeze into some very tight places what makes this any different why cant the mouse squeeze out of the tiny holes all around it?
Why can't Havahart.com put this video on their site? They don't even say how to bait the dang trap. Mousetrapgenius does...the question is if my large fingers can do the job. Nice job on the video.
Bought 2 of these. Used crushed miniature Reese's Peanut butter cups as bait. They worked for us where no other kind of trap we had tried worked. A bit pricey but well worth the cost. The only downside is they only catch 1 mouse at a time.
The mouse I caught twice got out somehow. I set the trap with both doors open then swung the lock on both doors back over the top. The next morning the bait was gone and both doors were down BUT, one of the doors had the lock swung back over to the open position so the mouse got out???? I don't get how it can do that from the inside? Seems impossible. I purposely made sure both locks were in place prior to setting it. Crazy
I've had this trap for about 10 years now. Here's how I set it. Set the levers under the bait plate rod as usual, and hold them both in place while you flip the door lock wires into position. Continue to hold the rods together until you set the trap where you want it. Only then let them go.
I have 4 of these in an airplane hangar along with every other style of traps and they are 10 times more successful that snap traps. I don’t even put bait in them, the mice just can’t resist walking thru!
The trap works much better if you cover the floor with grass pine straw, etc. Never actually had one work outside without doing that first. (mind you he is doing it with a trapped mouse inside a test area).
Yeah, took a few days for her to find the trap with the food. On the third day I checked the trap and she was caught inside, all safe and sound. The trap had worked flawlessly.
It would be a little pricey if it was bought with the intent of throwing it away after the first use. But this trap is meant to last a life time, that is, reused. This is a catch and release trap
I've had this trap for about 10 years. It is extremely effective for chipmunks! I've trapped 11 in the last week alone; a pretty typical catch rate in the spring around here for me. I use black oil sunflower seeds for bait, aka chipmunk candy. They love it! I only occasionally actually catch a mouse in it, and have caught a few shrews and voles. I modified mine by drilling two 3/8" holes right over the bait plate. That way I can sprinkle sunflower seeds into the hole and onto the bait plate. I also added a handle for easier carrying when full of chipmunk.
could you make a alive mouse trap we have two cats and because we do compost we have a lot of mice and the cats figured out they are fun chew toys could you please make a alive outdoor mouse trap before they finish the little guys off.
This 1020 trap has become very flimsy (made in China) and the illustrations that come with it as well as the HAVAHART video (official) is from 2013...pathetic.
Sure wish there was a detailed closed up of how the trip plate and the rods to the doors function . . .
I used to make these. You can figure it out real easy. You do get directions with it.

Thanks, happy you liked it!
Glad you think so :)
Thanks for the review. I got the trap, and caught a mouse the first night!
I have never been able to trap a mouse with mine.

You are a lifesaver! In more ways than one. Thanks for your efforts.

thank you.. I had these as a kid and they were very effective. Ill take your advice.

I have a question, we allknow mice can squeeze into some very tight places what makes this any different why cant the mouse squeeze out of the tiny holes all around it?
The holes are too small for mice.
So that doesn't explain why I frequently find empty tripped traps.
Why can't Havahart.com put this video on their site? They don't even say how to bait the dang trap. Mousetrapgenius does...the question is if my large fingers can do the job. Nice job on the video.
I agree; pathetic, cheap, made in China now.
thank u for this vid, i couldnt understand the directions at all, so thanx, i hope it works

Can you try the havaheart 1079 cat trap
This worked for me, put it out last night and had the mouse in it this morning.
The mouse I caught twice got out somehow. I set the trap with both doors open then swung the lock on both doors back over the top. The next morning the bait was gone and both doors were down BUT, one of the doors had the lock swung back over to the open position so the mouse got out???? I don't get how it can do that from the inside? Seems impossible. I purposely made sure both locks were in place prior to setting it. Crazy
Got one, found it difficult to set. Any tips?

This trap works well outdoors. If you have a lot of mice, the Eaton Repeater might be a better choice though. Good luck!

Thanks! :)
Perhaps you could have given a close up of setting the trap.
Will mouse piss destroy it?
Just got a tiny furry visitor in our home last night.
Hope this devices works as advertised.
Using this to catch my brothers escaped hamster, wish me luck.
piecho99 Did it work?
Yeah, took a few days for her to find the trap with the food. On the third day I checked the trap and she was caught inside, all safe and sound. The trap had worked flawlessly.

do you think this would work on a chipmunk?

with all the bait he uses he must be a master baiter
i have one it work good
Plus there's that MOUSE FUNK music!
I am so glad you let the mice go. My friends dad catches them in that exact trap then drowns them it's so sad. There little chipmunks!
could you make a alive mouse trap we have two cats and because we do compost we have a lot of mice and the cats figured out they are fun chew toys could you please make a alive outdoor mouse trap before they finish the little guys off.

Thumbs down. You had to kill this rat. Mission failed.
ButtHurt Libtards Joy Mouse, you dipshit
Dealing with people like me I need dumbed down instructions and a CLOSE UP PICTURE of how it is set. I can not get it to work at all your video SUCKS!
no need to be so negative....just ask the guy nicely for assistance....don't have to be so negative.
