Most Successful (and Easy & Safe) Mouse Trap I have Ever Used

We have mice in our area (fields, etc..). We don’t have a mouse problem in the house…usually. But once in a while one of our cats brings one in the house to play with it and it gets lose (and as luck would have it a pregnant mouse once). When this has happened over the years we have gone through several different mouse traps to catch the little buggers before they have any chance of having a litter. If you use traps that kill, the mice learn to avoid that area. But with this live trap, no blood or guts for them to smell (or for us to look at and clean up), so cute pests are never clued in that their fellow mousemates are being trapped. So once you find that golden spot you can always use it until all the mice are all gone. ===================================================== GENERAL REVIEW The traps are quality built (plastic with metal spring). They can be reused numerous times. We caught a mouse within 20 minutes of placing the trap. We have caught 2 mice in one trap (this has happened three times). We spent a small fortune at the grocery store figuring out what bait is best to use (nuts, sweets, nesting material, cheese, etc....) so what is the works every time solution? The cheapest creamy peanut butter you can buy. See my tips section below on how to rig these so the little vermin cannot resist. They are easy to bait. Just remove the "bait compartment". I take a plastic knife and push the creamy peanut butter up through the holes in the bait compartment, you know Play Dough Factory style giving several snake like tubes of irresistible peanut butter. Replace the bait compartment and push the front door down until it clicks. Then when the mouse goes to the peanut butter in the back of the trap, their weight on the floor releases the front door and they are trapped. I then take them to a local field, remove the bait compartment and they run out of the trap. Rinse and repeat as needed. ===================================================== PROS <> Easy to use <> Safe to use....especially if you have kids or pets. No way it can hurt a fingers while baiting and setting it or the paws or nose of a curious pet or the fingers of kid poking at it <> No gross blood or guts <> Humane (As long as you check the traps a few times a day.....otherwise they will die a long death of dehydration...but that is not the trap's fault) <> Reusable. I have used one trap to catch over 12 mice that found a corner in our garage to their liking once CONS First of all most of the cons are just the reality of the world and even though common to ALL mouse traps greatly minimized when compared against other mouse traps. <> Not really a con.....just the normal wear of any trap. When the mouse goes to the back of trap, they are actually walking on lever that doubles as the floor. When the mouse is at the end of the lever, i.e. at the back of the trap licking the bait, it raises the other end of the level releasing the door and trapping the mouse. After extended periods of time the spring looses it's firmness (as all springs would when kept at max taunt for a long time would), so lighter younger mice will not trigger the trap. Again this is over a period of time of weeks or months kept in the trigger state the entire time <> We had one trap where the door broke. I could not tell if it broke when the door snapped or if the mouse that was trapped gnawed enough to cause the weak point. This is not a common problem, but did happen once. ===================================================== TIPS Okay.....tips to make sure you catch something every time. I am not going to cover the usual tips, like place it where the mice travel along the baseboards / under furniture where you hear them / etc... But specific tips for these specific traps..... Tip #1 -- Before replacing the bait compartment I put a little extra peanut butter right at the back roof inside the trap. This way a mouse would have to stand up to get to it, giving it more time and weight on the end of the levered floor increasing the chances of triggering the trap. Tip #2 -- Put a VERY thin layer of peanut butter on both inner walls of the entrance. Not enough to really lick or eat, but to smell. So put peanut butter there and then scrape it off with the plastic knife. This adds smell to the front but they have to go to back to get the good stuff. Tip #3 -- KEEP THE BOX. Mice love cover. They hate to be exposed in the open. So I after I bait and set a trap I put it back in the box and then place the open box where I want the trap. This gives them a sense of security as the trap becomes a nice darkened tunnel offering cover to enjoy the delicious peanut butter. Tip #4 -- Follow up to tip #3 above.....since you obviously leave the box flaps open when using it to place your trap, I take peanut butter and spread it on each of the box top flaps. Then scrap the peanut butter off again. This allows the box to get the smell of peanut butter (and even absorb some of the peanut butter oils) without giving them anything to really eat unless they enter the trap. Again....mice sense of smell is incredible. This is basically putting up little peanut butter neon signs alternately flashing "Enter Here" & “Peanut Butter Just For You!” as the smell sets off a display of fireworks in their little brains from all of the delicious peanut butter aroma. I am soooo glad mice never stop and get suspicious as to why their ultimately favorite treat just magically happens to be appear in a conveniently covered mouse sized cozy tunnel right where they walk every day!

A Better Mouse Trap: video of capture

Found mouse signs and picked up 4 of these. There is NEVER JUST ONE MOUSE. Mice are attracted to other mice and dark places so I made a "hotel" out of the Amazon box they came in (I used to do mouse research). Smeared some peanut butter around the Amazon box hotel entrance and put the peanut butter baited traps in the box. The included videos (camera purchased from Amazon - EmpireTech IP Camera IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP Starlight IR Eyeball - using Blue Iris software) show how the mice entered. For brevity I will say I left some peanut butter out to see if it dissapeared and when it did, the camera showed it was mice. The edited video version did not show that they sniffed around cautiously and left a few times even after freely eating peanut butter bait from that area for a few days. But it did catch two on the first night. The second mouse seemed to have a bit of tail which was pinched by the trap door, so perhaps the length of the tube could be longer, but it seemed to get it free and was undamaged on release. Worked well and released them.

Highly Recommended

I put it in our garage to capture at least 1 mouse that I saw go up in a wall. I filled it with peanut butter as suggested and within 10 mins I had my mouse. Rightfully, it freaked out. Never once did I feel like it would be able to get out. The trap was really easy to load with food, set up, and release the mouse. If you want a humane way to catch a mouse, I'd highly recommend this trap.

Humane, Effective, Affordable

Noticed some mice darting around in the evening and, never having dealt with this issue before, felt like it was going to be an uphill battle to rid them. I researched and bought two different kinds of traps- these tube traps and a little steel box with two entrances. The tube traps arrived ahead of the steel trap, so naturally I put them down right away with peanutbutter smeared on the back. I placed one by the fridge and one next to the couch. This is all recommended in the instructions, but I didn't need to read them to know it was a good idea. Basically, line the entrance of the tube up with a natural line of movement for them, ie against the wall or behind a piece of furniture. Within ONE HOUR I caught my first mouse by the fridge. The trap makes a LOUD snap noise to let you know. I caught FOUR MORE MICE within the next couple hours from the same trap with no need to add more peanutbutter or clean it out. I put all the mice in a plastic box and drove them to a field some 10 miles away. I did not catch more mice that evening, but changed the position of the trap. Over the next two days, so three days total, I've caught SEVEN mice. I don't see them darting around any more or hear them clinking behind the stove. At this rate, I'll catch them all before the steel trap arrives. These traps WORK, no doubt about it. They are super well ventilated and the lever door is super sensitive, so it traps them right away. I like how loud the snap is, so you know right away and can care for the mouse. To let them go, just lift the back door and point the mouse toward the ground- it'll jump right out. No touch at all. This tube is also quite large, way bigger than is needed for the tiny mice I'm finding. Overall, super worth it! Sure, they only trap one mouse at a time, but I recommend keeping them in a (ventilated) plastic container with a dollop of peanutbutter for up to a day if you want to reuse the same trap. Picture of a mouse so fat I think it may have been pregnant. Is now living in a field.

Worked like a Charm in just hours!

It’s just awesome when things actually work! We’ve had a particularly clever mouse living in our house for who knows how long. We discovered a bucket filled with Halloween candy bits and some poop lol. We set traps only to find they were repeatedly licked clean without being tripped. I finally set a camera out and found the sweetest, neatest little mouse and resolved to ‘catch and release’ since he was really not doing any damage. I set this out last night and within hours he was locked in. The air holes were fine, there was no condensation and I had left some treats that he could get to while he awaited release into the wild . Overall, a great experience for both of us!

It works!!

I’ve had a mouse (or mice?) for at least two months *that I know of*... we tried traps, poison, etc. but nothing seemed to work. Finally, hired an exterminator, who put a bunch of bait stations in various locations. We thought the job was done but after a few weeks, we noticed mouse poop again, so quite frankly nothing was working. Got the traps yesterday and stationed one in my stove under the burners, which was a confirmed location of this little critter (lots of mouse poop was discovered there) and the other one was positioned along the wall, where I saw the mouse running one day. Only took one night and the mouse was caught in the trap. I had put a piece of meatball inside, all the way in the back. A reviewer mentioned that the door lock mechanism is loud when it shuts, but I never heard it and the mouse was caught about 20 feet from where I slept. When my husband lifted the burner, lo and behold, there he/she was. I thought this critter was gonna be a total spazz in this trap but it was just chilling, looked around and eventually fell asleep until my husband took it and released it into the woods. Little guy darted out and we parted ways. Overall, total success. Highly recommend this product!

Did its job.

Have never really had a mouse problem. We got some cats and they take care of it, most times. One over digbats brought in a baby,teenage mole. Wasn't big, but no idea how old. Most times they bring them in dead. And though so this time. Went to get the dust pan and right when I got to him, he flipped over and ran for it. I got away. Tried for a week, moving this and that trying to find the dang thing. Luckly it was in the walk out basement. First week I seen him or the cats would indicate he was there. But after 2 weeks, I never seen him, cats never alerted to anything. I though either he got back out or maybe a cat caught him again and took him back out. Basement door is open to the outside as I am always going in and out. Or I would find a smell. So 5 weeks pass. I come downstairs and open up to do some work outside. I happen to come in and see 2 of the cats just watching the mole getting into there water bowl. But it quickly runs away. Im like, this thing is still alive. I dont know if they eat cat food, but it was still kicking it. So I gotta try something. Got on Amazon and looked up mouse catcher, as moles had nothing for inside. Found these and figured, why not try. Got it in 2 days and with in 18 hrs, he was caught. I set both up in places near the cat food and water. I put some cat food in the tray, Figured I would try that for a day or 2 then maybe try some worms. lol But got him pretty quick. So this works great and will keep them handy if the digbats bring in another.

It's a very effective and humane trap

It's worked really well. I live near a lot of open land, so we periodically get field mice that make their way indoors. I can't blame mice for being mice, but I also don't want them taking up residence in the house. So, this trap lets me catch them, drive them deep into the countryside, and release them off to go live out their little mouse lives. Based on some other reviews I use peanut butter, not just where the bait goes, but also a little smeared on the inside walls to draw them in. The only negative is that it is a little hard to clean out. The mouse poops will get caught up under the little trap ramp, and it's hard to get it all flushed out. It's not impossible but it take a few minutes. Still, that's not worth deducting any points, given how effective the trap is.

Worked like a charm within 12 hours!

Thought we might offer a little pest a more humane, non lethal way to remove him from the garage and out of a brand new car. Lifted the hood and there he was. So a pair of these traps arrived nicely packaged and with accompanying assembly instructions and tips for success. They highly recommended peanut butter, but, there are already so many ants out in the country, and knowing peanut butter has sugar added, I was afraid I might be trading one problem for another. So instead of the peanut butter, I had some salted, roasted peanuts in the shell which I cracked and placed inside the traps. Placed them parallel to the wall. 12 hours later we checked on the trap, and there he was, just sitting there. Looking as if he were waiting for a cup of tea. Even when we relocated him far from the garage, once the trap was opened, out he moseyed and went on his way. Traps very successful very quickly. Made of sturdy hard plastic which stands up well to cleaning. The trap door set easily and stayed in place until the mouse body weight triggered the closure. I would recommend these traps highly for those seeking a less lethal, humane way to remove critters. *UPDATE* 12 hours after the first little guy, husband checked the traps, and each one had another little mouse inside! So, we freed those far from the garage, and since then have seen no more!

Works well

I have the rolling pin trap, the walk the plank trap and the havaheart metal trap that is open on both ends. These are catching the most mice so far, followed by the havaheart metal one. Walk the plank and the rolling pin are not impressing me at all. The traps are in my barn and in the same general area. I have a metal can that I transfer the mice to and if I have anybody by the end of the day, I drive the mice two minutes away to an undeveloped lot with grass, bushes and yucca plants and let them go. I give them goat grain to munch on while they are in jail. Yes, sometimes it catches their tails and the bait door is a little hard to open but it’s still a good trap.
