Deadfast Catch & Release Mouse Traps

Deadfast Catch & Release Mouse Traps offer a humane way to control mice in the home, garage, shed and garden. The simple catch-and-release design catches a mouse without injury, allowing you to release it safely outside without ever having to touch the animal — a clean, contact-free solution for households that prefer not to use poison or snap traps.

Ideal for kitchens, lofts, utility rooms, sheds and outbuildings, this multi-pack of catch-and-release traps provides a no-kill alternative for households with children, pets or food preparation areas where rodenticides are unsuitable. The clear-view body lets you see at a glance when a mouse has been caught, and the one-handed release mechanism allows you to let the mouse go well away from the property.

Made by Deadfast, a Westland Garden Care brand specialising in humane and effective pest control, this catch-and-release trap is a practical addition to any homeowner's or allotment holder's kit. Use it as part of a wider mouse-control strategy that includes sealing entry points, removing food sources, and clearing harbourage.

How to Use

• Bait the trap: Open the trap and place a small amount of attractive bait — peanut butter, chocolate or cat food — in the bait compartment.
• Set the trap: Arm the trap following the instructions on the pack — most catch-and-release traps use a one-click set.
• Position: Place the trap against a wall or skirting board in areas where mouse activity has been seen (droppings, gnaw marks, scampering noises).
• Check regularly: Inspect the trap daily. The clear-view body shows at a glance whether a mouse has been caught.
• Release safely: Carry the trap outdoors to a suitable release point at least 1 mile from the property (a hedgerow, woodland edge or field margin) and let the mouse go.

Where to Use

• Kitchens and pantries: catching mice in food storage areas without using poison.
• Lofts and eaves: catching mice that have entered roof spaces for warmth.
• Utility rooms and garages: catching mice in outbuildings and service rooms.
• Garden sheds and outbuildings: catching mice in workshops, log stores and tool sheds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Deadfast Catch & Release Mouse Traps work?
The trap uses a one-way catch-and-release mechanism. A mouse enters the trap to reach the bait, the door closes behind it, and the mouse is held securely without injury. The clear-view body shows at a glance when a mouse has been caught, and the one-handed release mechanism lets you let the mouse go outdoors without touching it.

Are catch-and-release mouse traps safe to use around children and pets?
Yes. Deadfast Catch & Release Mouse Traps use no poison and no snap mechanism, so they are safe to use in homes with children, pets and food preparation areas. The trap simply holds the mouse until you release it.

Where should I place catch-and-release mouse traps?
Place the trap against a wall or skirting board in areas where mouse activity has been seen — look for droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging, or scampering noises. Common hotspots include behind kitchen appliances, along garage walls, and in shed corners. Setting the trap along the wall (rather than in the middle of a room) is more effective, as mice tend to run along edges.

How far away should I release a caught mouse?
Release the mouse at least 1 mile from the property in a suitable habitat — a hedgerow, woodland edge, field margin, or rough grassland. This reduces the chance of the mouse finding its way back into your home. Releasing on neighbouring land without the owner's permission may be an offence, so choose a suitable public area or your own garden if it borders open countryside.

Can the trap be reused?
Yes. The Deadfast Catch & Release Mouse Trap is reusable — simply reset the trap after each catch, rebait, and place it back in position. With proper care, the trap will last for many catches.
