Bucket lid trap
A simple flip-lid setup for your own bucket
Fit the lid to a compatible bucket, attach the ramp and position the trap where rodent activity has been noticed.
Bucket not included
A practical setup
Keep the components ready for placement
Traditional single-catch traps often need attention after each activation. This lid uses a moving platform that flips and returns to its starting position, paired with a ramp for access.

The hinged section moves under weight and returns afterward.
Attachable ramp

Bucket fit
Use with a suitable bucket you already own.

★★★★★
Easy to Set Up
“The lid and ramp were simple to put together with my bucket. I like how straightforward the setup is, and the instructions made it easy to find the right spot for the bait.”

★★★★★
Clever, Practical Design
“The counterweighted plank is a clever feature. I appreciate having a reusable setup instead of constantly replacing disposable traps. It’s a practical addition to my garage.”

Thoughtful Bait Placement
