Description
This mouse trap is a 34cm metal roller that auto resets after every catch, so a single bucket setup can keep working all night instead of stopping at one mouse. At $36.99 it replaces the endless cycle of buying, baiting and binning disposable traps.
The frustration with a conventional snap trap is not that it fails, it is that it succeeds once. It catches a mouse, and then it sits there occupied and useless while the rest of the family carries on through the roof cavity. A roller trap solves the specific problem: the mouse walks the plank, the roller turns, and the roller is immediately back in position for the next one. You set it in the evening and deal with it in the morning.

Why This Beats a Disposable Trap
-
Auto reset design - the roller returns to position on its own, so one setup stays live through the whole night.
-
Multiple catches per night - a single trap can take several mice rather than one, which is what actually clears an infestation.
-
Metal construction - strong and durable, built to be used repeatedly for years instead of thrown away after one use.
-
No handling at the trap - the catch drops into your bucket, so you deal with the bucket and never touch the mechanism.
-
Works with any bucket - fits across a standard household bucket, so there is no proprietary container to replace.
How Does a Bucket Mouse Trap Work?
The trap sits across the rim of a bucket with a plank leading up to it. A mouse walks along the plank towards the bait, its weight rotates the roller, and it drops into the bucket below. The roller immediately spins back to level, which means the trap is armed again the moment the first catch is over. You supply the bucket and decide how you want to handle what is caught.
Can This Trap Catch More Than One Mouse a Night?
Yes, and that is the entire point of the design. A snap trap is finished after one catch and stays occupied until someone empties it. Because this one resets itself, it stays live continuously, so it can keep catching for as long as mice keep walking the plank.
Is a Roller Trap Better Than a Snap Trap?
For a single stray mouse, a snap trap is quicker to set up. For an ongoing problem in a shed, a roof cavity, a chicken coop or a garage, a roller trap is the better tool, because the limiting factor with snap traps is how many you own and how often you are willing to reset them. One roller trap running all night does the work of several snap traps.
Who Buys These
Homeowners who have heard scratching in the ceiling and know it is not one mouse, people on acreage and hobby farms dealing with seasonal mouse pressure around feed sheds, chicken keepers protecting grain, and anyone who has grown tired of buying single use traps by the packet. It is also popular with tenants and renters who want something they can take with them.
Pair It With
Mouse pressure is usually a storage problem before it is a trapping problem. Sealed containers from our Storage & Organisation range keep feed and pantry goods out of reach, and the Home & Garden collection covers the rest of the household supplies. If the problem is around a shed or workshop, Tools & Hardware has what you need to seal the entry points properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a bucket included?
No. The trap is designed to sit across a bucket you already own, which keeps the cost down and lets you choose the depth.
How long is the trap?
34cm in total length, which spans a standard household bucket.
Do I need to rebait it after every catch?
Rebaiting keeps it working at its best, but the mechanism itself resets on its own and does not need to be touched between catches.
Will it catch rats as well as mice?
The roller principle is the same for both. Larger rodents need a correspondingly sturdy bucket underneath.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. It is metal and is commonly used in sheds, garages, coops and around feed storage. Keeping it out of constant rain will extend its life.
How long will it last?
The metal construction is intended for repeated use over many years rather than a single season.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, including regional and remote addresses.
