Wanqueen 01 Live-Catch Rodent Trap, 2-Pack, Galvanized Steel

Tech summary

At 10.5 x 5.5 x 4.5 inches, each Wanqueen live-catch cage has a compact rectangular shape for mice and other small rodents. Galvanized steel construction is designed for indoor or outdoor placement, and the manual pedal mechanism closes the door when an animal steps on it. The reusable two-trap set offers a live-capture approach without glue, electricity, or odor. Choose this cage-style option when you want to capture and release, a non-reusable trap follows a different approach to rodent control.

The trigger, pedal, and door work together: bait draws an animal into the cage, and pressure on the pedal activates the closing door and latch. The trap can then be reset for reuse. Its galvanized body is described as waterproof and rust-resistant, making the set suitable for locations such as a kitchen or garden. The stated target species is chipmunk, and the product is also presented for mice and rats.

Buyer feedback highlights the straightforward cage design and ease of setting for some users. Experiences with durability and door operation are mixed, with some buyers reporting breakage or a door that did not stay down after use. These comments are useful context when choosing a reusable live trap, they do not change the documented setup or intended use.

Practical tips

Place bait on the pedal and in the area behind it, so an animal entering the cage is more likely to step on the trigger. Set the trap where rodent activity has been noticed, such as along a garden edge or in an indoor area where the cage can sit securely. Because the mechanism is manual, bait placement and the pedal’s position are central to setting it up.

Wear gloves while handling or setting the cage to help avoid scratches, as recommended by the manufacturer. After a capture, the animal can be released and the trap reset for another use. This format suits people who prefer a reusable cage and a live-capture approach, rather than disposable sticky boards.

In the box

The A-2 Pack contains two live-capture rodent cages. Each measures 10.5 x 5.5 x 4.5 inches and is made of galvanized iron. Having two traps lets you place cages in separate areas where activity has been observed, while keeping the same pedal-triggered design and baiting method for both.

Final verdict

For indoor and outdoor use, the Wanqueen 01 two-pack brings together galvanized cage construction, a manual pedal trigger, and a reusable live-catch format. Its compact dimensions make it a practical fit for targeting mice and other small rodents, including chipmunks. Choose it when the priority is a cage that can be baited, triggered, released, and reset, with two traps available for placement in more than one location.
