RinneTraps | Dizzy Dunker Bucket Lid Mouse Trap | Made in USA | Multi Catch | Humane | Indoor/Outdoor | (2 Pack)

Just letting everyone know that this trap REALLY WORKS! My mom has been having a problem with "mice" building nests and chewing wires in her car for years. We've tried everything such as snap traps, the "flipper" style and dcon and she has still paid thousands in repairs to the car with it not starting. She no longer has a radio because those wires were chewed also. Well, we bought this trap and set it up with peanut butter and sunflower seeds. We found out that it's not the mice (although we caught one or two) but it is flying squirrels. They were able to fit into the trap and we caught 13 in 9 days with a maximum of 3 on a few nights. My 88 year old mom is so happy and sends a thank you to Shawn Woods on Mousetrap Mondays. She said it is well worth the investment. I don't think we're done yet! By the way, make sure you buy the real deal and not the cheap chinese knock off. Made in USA!

Had bought this before I did a attic insulation and reduct. Sealed off entry points and a year later I hear the little critters. Third time trying this with peanut butter and Rice Krispies, granola, pieces of snickers have not caught any mice. Disappointed

I've used the original bucket flip trap from this company which has served me well and still does. I saw this new trap on YouTube and decided to give it a try. The plastics seem to be of good quality, the previous flip n slide trap from this company still looks like it's brand new from a free years of use, so I'm hopeful this one is as durable. The only area I have of concern durability what are the small teeth on the cover which get inserted into slits on the top portion, I am curious to see how this holds up over time and changes in temperature. The trap isn't as easy to check either thanks to the dome as it's flip n slide counterpart, and the clips holding it onto the bucket seem to be a little more tricky to get off without the dome popping out. My first night using this as per the instructions, it caught 5 field mice, which is double what I've been getting with the flip n slide. Over all, very happy so far, but time will tell. ==Update 10/23/24 I have been running the trap now for a few days and so far an catching on average 5 mice a day. So far this is working superbly well

While I have had excellent results with the Dizzy Dunker, there are things you should consider when picking a mouse trap design for your intended purpose. I purchased two of these traps for a very old, and rather large chicken coop that is over run with mice. A bucket type trap is ideal for out buildings or an old building or house that can be easily entered by mice. If you have just a few mice getting in, snap traps or a live trap like the Tin Cat would be better suited for dealing with the occasional activity from mice. In my case I knew I had a lot of mice that were going to be investigating whatever trap I put out. What I like about this design, is that multiple mice could be on, or in the trap, and it would not effect the mechanism like a Flip n slide where multiple mice can counteract the tipping balance when on the trap at the same time. I read other reviews about the cover springing apart, and could see the logic in their complaints. So I added a couple of long thin zip ties along the center of the curved top, that took care of the problem, which generally is… most bucket trap tops deflect down in the center, and in this design when you pry on the top to remove it from the bucket it springs apart. Problem solved as far as unexpected disassembly….but cleaning or re applying bait to the Dizzy Dunker means you have to handle and manipulate a dirty mouse covered trap. So if limited contact with a mouse trap is your goal, the tip n slide would be better, in my experience. As far as baiting this trap applying peanut butter along the curved top following the arch is the way to go, it requires the mouse to stand up and lean over to one side or the other. (See photo) One other observation is that this arched top holds moisture. I might add ventilation holes to one of my traps to see if that helps with reducing moisture build up. Which in the winter time could lead to frost within the top. ( I have water in the bucket) All and all I’ve had great successes with two of these traps and in seven days I removed 221 mice from the chicken coop!

Caught mice, but the axis of the spinners is sensitive and susceptible to crud and deformation. The pieces kind of come apart easily which is good on one hand for re-assembly and maintenance. However, raccoons also like what attracts mice and so they tear the trap apart which can cause it not to spin as well the next time. I also find that mice don’t really care to run up the ramp to the top of the bucket. Since barn animals are messy, in my barn areas the mice have enough food on the floor without a need to climb a ramp for food.

I have two of these, one under the house and one outside. Neither has caught anything in a year and the one outside got destroyed by the sun. Make sure to keep this in a shaded spot. The spot I had it at wasn't even in direct sun and it started to disintegrate. We're in a rural farm area so I was expecting better results. I guess we'll just stick to barn cats.
