Is this trap really small enough for the little tiny field mice? I have a 1025, which works great for chipmunks, but those mice are tiny!

Unfortunately we had a female field mouse that had pups in our house. I'd guess the pups are about 2-3 weeks old and are very small. You'll have no problems catching them with this trap! None have escaped mine yet. :)

I have been catching mice, little chipmunks and even one tiny vole. Guess I would say it is working for me!

yes it is small enough but I also found that to be a problem because it's very hard to get your hand inside to bait it. I returned mine because of that. It's also very difficult to set.

Hi... there are a couple of answers to your question. First, this model needs a pretty good sized rat to trip the mechanism. I had better luck with : Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat, and Weasel - 0745... I caught several of varying sizes with this one. I also accidentily captured one of my favorite squirrels..he wasn't happy. I would keep the rat traps where the squirrels don't go if possible...AND make sure the squirrels have their own feeders so they are not tempted to go where the trap is. Interestingly, now that I've relocated around 9 rats, we haven't seen or heard them in close to a month...and there is never rat poop in the squirrel feeder anymore... it used to be there everyday. Hope that helps.

I think you would need the next size up. I got 1025 for chipmunks and it works well. One time a squirrel got in and it's tail was kind of hanging out.

I don't think these are nearly strong enough or large enough for chipmunks. We have lots of chipmunks around our house but they don't try to nest in our home. If they are trying to do that perhaps you need to deter by using mothballs along the interior of your basement or interior to wherever they are entering- it doesn't kill but works as a deterrent...and also keeps spiders out!

honestly for dimension ?? i would recommend that you check for that information with amazon... to "me" it is the same size as all mouse trap that i have ever seen ..no difference in size by eye ball appearance ..

The Ketch-All should only catch mice but if it does you can simply let the chipmunks go. Another trap would be the pro ketch mouse trap .

Since it works well for my dwarf hamster, I would think it would do fine for a little mouse. I think they would be about the same size IMO.

No, for larger rodents get The Better Rodent Trap, http://www.intruderinc.com/collections/better-pest-control-solutions/products/the-better-rodentrap

I used this trap for red squirrels and it worked great. Red squirrels are about one and a have to twice the size of a chipmunk. You may want to purchase a little larger trap if these kittens bigger than size described.

I really don't know but these gopher traps work very well. We live on about the same acreage and my husband is always at war with the 'varmints '...:)

This trap works very well if you are up against just one mouse at a time. A nest of them in the house will result in the trap door being reopened giving the earlier captures a chance (but not always) to escape. Just be patient, they eventually slip up or set two traps at a time. It is worth it to see the look on their faces when you do catch them and they can see the look on yours through the clear door !!

No. It is way too small and the fencing is way to short. Better for smaller rodents. I do think they make a larger size.

The trip mechanism on my trap was also very stiff. To fix it all I did was take a pair of pliers and open up the loops in the linkage of mechanism then it worked just fine; 14 chipmunks and going strong. Just placed an order for 2 more.

I have been getting field mice, which are a lot smaller than rats. I have been getting one per night and throwing it away in the morning when I check the unit. I dump out the dead mouse and dog kibbles, then dispose of the mouse and put the same dog kibble back in to the trap. I am uncertain whether the unit will kill two or more mice at a time. I suggest that you call the rep at 800-737-8927 to find your answer. If you killed one rat, that would fill up the unit.

Voles as I understand them are basically the size of a mouse. They are t0o small to trigger the trap. More importantly, they do not tunnel along the surface so this trap would not work for that reaon as well.

Not sure about small mice - the rodent must be heavy enough to release the hutch trigger. But it works pretty good with large mice (or small rats - no idea who they actually were :-) )

I have small traps that I have a lot of luck with. I have one larger trap that I can never get in the hole because it is so large. I think the size of the gophers depend on where you live. Ours must be the smaller ones. Perhaps you have a mole.
