Anyone know if there's such a thing as a weasel safe repeating mouse trap? My wife feeds birds near the house and we've been trapping a ridiculous amount of mice inside, hoping for something I can put outside in freezing Temps but won't catch weasels. The metal Victor's are not weasel safe.

I hope you find your answer. Yes, taking out the best mouse trap in the world is defeating your purpose to thinning out the mice. Weasels are a killing machine.

I know a lot of folks trap weasels but I for would not even try to target them. Bull snakes and weasels are my friends and will do anything to keep them from harm.
I got bulls living where an old out house where it used to sit. I'm so excited to see them each spring, like seeing an old friend.

Wish I had some weasels....been trapping in the basement, about 15 so far, normally about 6-8 every winter...what's interesting is it's always been deer mice, this year the house mice have been 2 to 1....

Here’s a way to safely poison them, make the hole smaller so weasels can’t get in and stake it down before closing. Could make one out of a bucket with locking lid to keep the kiddos out.

After thinking about it you could make repeating trap like a bucket trap, just make small holes just above the rotating wood dowel spanning the bucket, a few inches of anti-freeze in the bottom, smear the dowel with peanut butter and snap a lid on. You would have to get clever on how to stake the bucket down so a dog couldn’t tip it over

Get rid of the bird feeder.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Any experience with these in cold Temps? I was thinking about this but not sure how it's going to work when it's typically under 10 degrees at night.
