Lift-Top Size 32"x10"x3"W/ 3 Large Catch Inserts

You should place the trap on the ground where you want it BEFORE you put the glue trap in it. I did not do this and somehow the glue trap got stuck to the roof of the trap while I was moving it around to the place I wanted it. I can't get it off and am hoping after a few months in the Texas heat the glue will break down and I will be able to pull it off. After messing up on the first glue pad I carefully placed the second one in the trap. The next afternoon I caught the two foot banded water snake shown in the picture. If you use this trap you have to realize this is not a 'catch and release' trap, so be prepared to put the snake out of its misery so it does not die slowly from lack of water and food.Update-I was able to get the stuck glue trap I originally got stuck on the trap off by setting the trap in the sun an hour or two, then applying a lot of veg oil before pulling it off. In theory I guess you could use Veg oil to get a snake off then take the snake somewhere else and let it free instead of killing it. I doubt the average user will want to do this particularly if they don't even know if the snake is poisonous and as much pressure I had to use to get the glue pad off I doubt a snake could be pulled off without injuring or killing the snake.

Disappointed that the price went up $10 from last year. Anything that gets on the glue pad stays. Easy to use and easy to check the contents by lifting the top by the tie, easy to dispose of the glue pad. I bought 2 last year and just received my order of 2 more.

I have three traps of different sizes. I've been catching snakes, centipedes, spiders, etc. in them for years. Mice seem to be able to frantically tear themselves free, leaving behind lots of fur, but their little feet don't stay stuck so that's ok. I've had the occasional baby bird that floundered out of its nest. (Sad). But, what I care about are keeping the snakes, centipedes, and black widows out of my house--I have sliding doors and a doggie door, and the traps triumph there. And yes, the good snakes are easy to release--just pour 1/2-1 C of cooking oil over them and they immediately start wriggling free. Oil works with friendly lizards, too. I've only lost a couple of nice snakes/lizards when they were caught when I was gone for a couple of days. Don't like that the smaller sizes are no longer available, and the price is getting hard to take, as well, for the inserts and the trap itself. But, cheaper than antivenom!

The sticky pad disappears. Not sure what is doing that. You would think it would be easy to find but no, the trap is moved around a bit but the sticky pad is gone. Squirrel, raccoon?

Instructions not clear. The only snake that got caught managed to ket away

I have just ordered my second trap. We live in woods and put the trap outside at base of house. The trap has caught dozens of snakes and mice. A bit expensive, but well worth it. Have been using off-brand large glue traps to cut down on glue trap refill costs.

That paper losses its stickiness. Caught a mouse but was able to get away.

This product cost a little more than the average snake trap, but it's worth every dime!!!! It is so easy to check with the lid on the a hinge! With the ability to easily lift the lid, you can also easily switch out the sticky pad. Cahaba also gives you a little secret to getting the wax paper off the sticky pad... it's a trade secret; you'll have to buy one to find out! It will leave you thinking... " Why didn't I think of that?" If you have ever tried to peel the wax paper off a snake trap sticky pad, you will greatly appreciate this tip! By the way... 5 snakes in the first month using it and one was the Copperhead I was after!
