RinneTraps Flip N Slide Bucket Lid Mouse Trap — Original, Auto-Resetting Multi-Catch Lid

The RinneTraps Flip N Slide Bucket Lid Mouse Trap is a reusable, auto-resetting multi-catch solution that fits standard 5-gallon buckets for humane, hands-off rodent control.

If you need a low-touch, efficient way to reduce mouse activity around homes, gardens, workshops, or farms, this patented lid converts an ordinary bucket into a continuous-capture station. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Flip N Slide snaps onto a 5-gallon bucket and uses a simple mechanical action to trap multiple mice without repeated baiting or manual resetting, helping you manage infestations with less effort.

How does the Flip N Slide fit and work with my existing bucket?

RinneTraps engineered the lid to lock onto standard 5-gallon buckets, turning the container into a safe, contained capture chamber. The design uses a flip-and-slide mechanism that routes rodents into the bucket and prevents escape, allowing for multiple captures before inspection.

• Fits most industry-standard 5-gallon buckets with a snug, snap-fit seal.
• Durable polymer construction resists cracking and outdoor exposure.
• Mechanical entry gate flips inward then slides shut behind each animal.
• Quick to install — no tools required for setup.

What makes this trap multi-catch and auto-resetting?

The Flip N Slide’s internal mechanism closes behind an animal and then re-positions itself to accept the next entrant, so a single setup can secure multiple mice in succession. Because it doesn’t rely on one-shot springs, you avoid frequent resetting and can leave the unit in place for extended monitoring.

• Self-resetting gate accepts repeated entries until the bucket is full.
• Reduces the need for daily checks in moderate infestations.
• Works with simple bait options placed inside the bucket.
• Clear access for humane release or disposal when emptied.

Is the Flip N Slide a humane option and how do I manage captured animals?

The product is marketed as a humane, live-capture style lid because it confines animals without lethal force, allowing you to release or otherwise handle them according to local regulations. The capture system keeps animals separated from bait and each other and provides ventilation while they remain in the bucket.

• Captures without springs or poisons—minimizes direct handling.
• Ventilated bucket interior keeps animals contained safely until checked.
• Suitable for relocation where permitted; follow local wildlife guidelines.
• Easy to empty using gloves or a secondary container for transfer.

Where should I place the bucket and what bait works best?

Position the bucket along known runs, near walls, behind appliances, or where droppings and gnaw marks appear. Baits that appeal to mice—like peanut butter, oats, or small pieces of food—work well when placed on or near the internal landing area to encourage entry.

• Place against walls, in sheds, garages, or basements where mice travel.
• Use small, aromatic bait portions to draw rodents into the entry tunnel.
• Check placement periodically and move if captures are sparse.
• Protect from rain by situating under cover or inside a sheltered area.
