RinneTraps | Dizzy Dunker Bucket Lid Mouse Trap | Made in USA | Multi Catch | Humane | Indoor/Outdoor | (1 Pack

Believe the hype. This is constructed very well and is extremely easy to assemble. Put it on top of a 5 gallon bucket (you can still peek in through some gaps in the lid to see inside if the bucket isn’t 100% clear) after putting peanut butter on the fins, put some food in the bucket and leave it where you think they’re nesting. I used dog food as that’s what drew them to my utility room in the first place. Never again. I literally checked the trap just, not even 24 hours later, and there were ABOUT 15 MICE IN THE BUCKET. I had ZERO idea there were that many. I guarantee that would not even scratch the surface if I had stuck to conventional traps. Not only that, it’d probably have cost way more and created more of a mess. Hopefully there aren’t too many left! Also, don’t forget to check under the lid for the extra pieces lol. I didn’t, even though the instructions clearly state that they’re there. But hey, who needs instructions. 1-Year Update 2024: Since writing this I was able to completely clear the main house and now have the trap set up in a larger unfinished mud room. The trap still works, hasn't broken and is ready to catch some more mice this year. I've already caught two mice in the few days I've had it set up. Word of advice: Put some sort of scent on the ramp. I use peanut butter and wipe it away with a paper towel so it still has the peanut butter smell, but not enough for it to stop them from going to the top. The trapped mice are put far away from any houses and ultimately become food for something else. The Dizzy Dunker circle of life.

I bought this trap immediately after seeing Shawn Woods video on YouTube. The concept is great but the design has problems. The clear plastic cover over the spinning fins is made of 3 pieces that insecurely snap together. When you remove the lid to check for mice, these 3 pieces will fly apart. A solution is to glue the 3 pieces together. I haven't tried this as i don't yet have any glue suitable for plastic and I'll not sure what type of plastic this is. One of the pieces has "pp" written on it. Is it polypropylene? Another solution, which another review mentioned, is to remove the plastic that creates the snap action on the bucket. I don't see a problem with just setting the lid on the bucket. Another problem is that your can't see if you have caught anything without taking the lid off. It would have been better to use a clear plastic for the lid. The last problem is the ramp gets in the way. You have to take it off to take off the lid. A better solution is to tape a string to the lid and dangle it down to the floor. I haven't tried this yet. I haven't caught any mice yet but that's only because i have other mouse traps set that the mice found first. I'm confident that this trap will work well at catching mice. It needs a few tweaks to be good. Perhaps the inevitable copies that will be out shortly will solve some of the issues. Lastly, Shawn says in the video that he invented the trap, but there is nothing in the packaging that credits him. I don't know why they would leave this out

I really like this trap, I saw the video demo and purchased 1 trap so I can test it before I buy more. The 1st 36 hours I caught 8 mice in my garage with my 1 (first) Dizzy Dunker. I live in a rural area. There are lots of mice here. A few days later, I set up a second Dizzy Dunker near my chicken coop and caught 24 mice in a 30 hour period. Things to know.... 1. The ladder that is provided is not enough. You should stack scrap ends of 2x4 lumber or little cardboard boxes or something that will give solid footing to the trap entrance. Make sure there are steps from one piece to the next no taller than 2 inches tall from each other. (mice can climb taller than this but letting them get to the top quickly is the goal here) 2. I smeared Almond Butter on the inside spindle of the where the blade intersect, this will let the mice see/smell the bait and they will venture onto the blade to get it. Mice love peanut butter, normal butter, ect... (never have tested margarine). BTY- why do so many people use cheese as an all purpose/go to bait? How many wild field mice or deer mice have ever eaten cheese? Very few. They are scavengers and will eat many different things. Normal table butter will melt and run easier than peanut butter if the temperature is too warm so I use the thicker peanut butter often. Peanut butter does not require refrigeration so you can leave a jar of it near your traps. 3. I dont want to say anything that may scare/offend some of the more sensitive types, but the mice that I captured had a nice little mineral (salt) water swim before they made their final spiritual journey. The salt keeps the water in a liquid state too. Summary.... This trap has a great design, very easy to use, and it will work for a long time before any maintenance is necessary. You must be careful with the little tabs! What I most enjoy about this trap is that it catches multiple mice without having to be reset. Near my chicken coops.... I dug a hole deep enough to keep the top 2 inches of the trap within easy reach of any passerby in search of a delicious treat. Then I will placed cinder blocks around the trap with 2" wide space between the blocks then covering to top with sheet wood. This keeps my dogs from knocking it over. Cheers!
