Has anyone ever used these traps to catch a snake?

We bought them for recluse spiders but a black rat snake decided to go into one. Yes, he probably could have gotten away with his head still stuck in the box, but I saw him and shut the door to the tiny room. The good thing is more than likely, any snake will have his head stuck in the box like mine. Did I just call a snake mine??? Having its head caught in the box means no ability to bite, making removal way less stressful for those who get skeeved by snakes. My (just said it again) snake was the girth of a roll of quarters and 2 feet long.

These are too small and light. The larger size has worked for me with a 4-5 foot black snake in my home. It was attached to two of them that I had put side by side....so go larger.

It wasn't my intent, but I once caught a 2-foot black garter snake with these glue traps. It wasn't happy. They will do almost anything trying to get away. It probably stumbled into the garage overnight. I took it to the woods and let it go.Hope this helps.

I have caught snakes in these traps, though I didn't mean to. They were garter snakes...don't know if they would work on bigger snakes.

Have caught mice and lizards...very difficult to free the lizards so it would easily hold small snakes...I expect multiple sheets in some sort of box/trap would hold medium snakes and plan to try. E.TN

Big snakes just keep going with a trap stuck to them. Grass snakes will stick, as well as other small snakes. I have even duct taped a bunch of traps together before, but the big snakes still just took the traps with them. I've caught more kids with these traps than anything though. Be careful where you place them, as it's a mess to remove a stuck kid from one.

No these are mouse traps. You need the Big snap rat traps. They WILL NOT work for Rats !!!

I agree with the other answers. The trap itself can be used any time (if it's cold in the attic.. check and make sure the glue stays sticky.. but be careful... it's VERY sticky and unforgiving). It's success will really be a function of knowing where the snakes are traveling, and placing the trap where they will naturally crawl through it, such as up against the wall as another answer said. There is no "bait" or anything to actually attract the snake, that's why placement is so critical... good luck!

Doubt it, but you can try. I never even caught a small little garter snake.

Well, I only have garter snakes where I live. But I have caught a few that are about 2 feel long and weigh a pound or two. And early this Spring, I emptied the trap and found 4 tangled around each other, each about 12 inches long.

Yes, I use them for voles in my yard and garden beds. I caught over 20 last year. I complement it with mouse baits in my ivy and edge of my yard that abuts some woods.

Yes they do catch them. I am using eight of them right now and had about two bugs within two weeks time. But as the other posters said they do crack easily. During my last inspection I noticed several of them are cracked.

No way...I only bought them after getting a recommendation for this specific product and I still see signs of vermin! Argh! I have done better with a variety of sticky traps. What ever you use, wear gloves and defer from leaving your scent on the device (glue trap or regular ole neck-snapping traps). DO NOT get this product and save your money.

I bought the traps for purpose of catching/killing moles. The behavior of moles and gophers are different, so be sure you are buying a trap proven effective for gophers or you may not have success.

They may; I have caught one ground squirrel in my Cinch traps. He barely fit. They work well with pocket gophers. Stan

No. The trap does not even work on flies. There was a really bad problem with flies this year in Southern Idaho and I ended having to kill all of them with windex and a swatter. Save your money, the trap sucks and smells gross!

Put these out for mice in basement but wound up catching a couple small snakes about 10in. These will catch smaller snakes, larger than what I would have originally thought.

Although I have not caught one myself, I have caught everything from spiders to crickets in these things so I am pretty sure that they would catch silverfish. I do not believe the silverfish would actually be drawn to the traps, I think they would just have to happen into them.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

Yep, we've caught several. (I need to put some of these traps by the entrance in the basement... scorpions and spiders seem to love it there!)

Don't know. Haven't tried that trap. But these do not work as well as the traditional wooden snap traps. These tend to not kill instantly. While they trap the animal they don't always kill leaving the animal to die slowly.

I would not know the answer to this question as I never captured a snake. However, I doubt it as the directions call for pouring vergtable oil over the snake to release it. All I ever caught were mice and they really stuck to the glue. That's why I called it a huge mouse trap! Good luck...
