Mouse Trap 6 Pack,Rat Mice Traps Snap Work Power Rodent Quick Capture 100% Mouse Catcher Safe for Family and Pet,Sanitary, Easy to Set Reusable Mouse Control Snap Traps

I've tried humane traps and while they work okay, I also know that releasing the mice in field that they will either be eaten by a predator or potentially suffer or die from lack of shelter or social network - not Facebook! I mean they are social creatures and can be fiercely territorial animals, meaning that can be attacked by existing mice living there (if the predators don't get them first). So I thought I would buy these fatal snap traps to deal with our unwanted guests (not only can they spread disease they are gnawing stuff in our shed and loft). So now I've explained why I chose to kill rather than trap and release onto the review of these traps...They are quick to bait - simply remove the small bait holder from underneath by turning a quarter turn (without needing to set the trap yet, so no chance of snapping a finger in the trap). I used peanut butter with a tiny bit of chocolate stuck into the top of it - they love it and it has a strong sweet smell so attracts them. Replace the bait holder into the bottom of the trap and turn a quarter turn to hold it in place.Set the trap by squeezing the rear - like a bulldog clip I guess. It has a solid click when set.Place the trap in your desired location (I've set them at floor level - that seems to work best) where you know the mice are, but is easily accessible to check and empty them. I meant don't be tempted to place them in awkward corners or up high (if they are coming in from a higher hole) they will find it. But don't place them where they need to cross places where they don't usually or normally go (this will spread the potential for disease and urine/droppings as they search around).I have set 3 of these in my shed and three in the loft.Check them every day or as often as possible to dispose of the dead mice (so to free the trap for the next mouse) plus they will eat a dead mouse if there is no other food and the smell and sight of a half eaten mouse unpleasant, plus you have to clear up the mess!So far in 3 days these traps have caught 9 mice - I have experimented and moved the ones that have not caught any (hence knowing that the floor works best) so have relocated the higher ones lower down. If you're reading this I guess you might have watched some YouTube videos like me on how to make homemade traps, and while mice will climb ramps to try to access food, they naturally move close to the walls on the floor.The instruction photos on the listing show how best to position them, but I've found they are still effective when placed at any angle to the wall (it just makes it easier for them to be trapped when facing the wall as the per the pictures as they can enter from both directions).Disposal is just as easy. I simply lift the traps from the back (they have a handy ridged grip to help hold them, especially if you'r wearing gloves), take it to the bin/bag and drop them in.Reset and replace the trap.They are sensitive enough to not allow the mice chance to get the bait, so I have not had to re-bait them yet either. As the bait is held in a round pocket and I use peanut butter it would take a very determined (or lucky) mouse to get it all without setting it off.I've yet to need to clean these, but as they are plastic with a stainless steel spring, I imaging them to be easy to clean when needed and won't rust or stay wet like the old fashioned wooden traps.It does feel a little sad seeing a dead animal, and throwing it away, but I know they've died quickly and not suffered. And one day soon my stuff might not get gnawed (so much).A few notes on other traps/methods:Battery operated electric traps often leave mice stunned or paralysed rather than killed quickly.Poison is an excruciatingly painful death - cause internal bleeding, brain swelling, or kidney failure. They are also dangerous to other animals (pets and wildlife). Plus the mice can go off to die in wall cavities and other inaccessible places and then you'll have a fly infestation to replace you mouse infestation.I hope this helps.Happy trapping, and please don't judge me for using kill traps, like I said 'humane' catch and release traps are not that humane.

Some 'wildlife' has found its way into my home: I happened to switch the kitchen light on, earlier this week - just in time to espy (what I hoped was) a mouse, scuttling away, behind the washing machine? I wasn't wearing my glasses, & there was just the vague idea at the back of my mind, that it may have been of the eight legged, rather than the quadrupedal kind of wee timorous beastie! It's a new washing machine, all the way from Korea; & I'm not particularly au fait with that land's vermin; just in case it was an illegal immigrant? These traps were cheap to buy, & (very) slightly more high-low tech,' than a traditional mousetrap. I do not like traditional mousetraps! Forty years ago, I was in Central America; & as I lay in my bed of a night, I would feel 'something' crawling over me. As soon as I moved, to turn the light on, whatever 'it' was, had scurried away & out of sight. Then one night, I spotted what appeared to be a mouse (I didn't have my specs on then either). I got hold of a mousetrap, during the next couple of days, & baited it with a crumb or two of biscuit, & then placed the trap under my bed. The next morning, when I blearily peered under the bed, I could see that the trap had sprung, but it seemed to have missed the target. Having washed & brushed up, & having put my specs on this time, I looked again - there was half a mouse in the trap!!! Something had eaten the other half, & I didn't think that it was zombie, cannibal mice either! I got rid of the mousetrap! Another time, I did wake up with a tarantula on my chest - & I'm arachnophobic! That explained what had dined on the mouse then. I set two of the traps last night; placing one by the washing machine - where I had seen it scurrying behind. When I checked the traps this morning, they were still primed. Having looked at them again, this time with my glasses on - I noticed that 1/They were indeed still primed, & had no mice, mouse or bits & pieces thereof, in either of them. 2/The bait was missing!!! I am going to get, what I have heard, is the mouse bait of champions; & stick some peanut butter in them (when I can be bothered to go to the shops, to buy some peanut butter, that is)? I will review my review, once I have tested the efficacy or not, of said peanut butter (a substance which I believe is unfit for human consumption) - so I hope that trying to feed it to some wildlife, will not get me into trouble with those who would rather see us eaten by there fauna, rather than tuck into a bacon butty themselves?

Decided to get these over the lethal old reliables that would chop your finger off as quickly as it would kill a mouse. The benefits of these traps are they are a lot safer to set up and when they catch the mice, you don't need to look into the eyes of your victim!! Started off all guns blazing with a 3 mouse killing streak but then the next few days was spent feeding a family of mice without the trap going off at all - to be honest it was quite impressive! Eventually the awe wore off and I fed a bit of wire through the cheese and attached to trap which was made easier by a few holes on the trap to feed wire through and then placed two traps directly beside each other..... Game Set and Match! As i mentioned, not as lethal (or as prone to friendly fire as the basic mouse trap) but overall very happy with them.

I put pistachio crumbs in the bit where you’re supposed to keep food and it took like 3 days but eventually it caught a mouse. And another was caught in a different one surprisingly. The second mouse was really big aswell. Anyway when you first see it, it doesn’t look like much because it’s plastic and I just didn’t think it would do the job at all but it did and now the mice r gone yay

WE DISCOVERED RECENTLY THAT MICE HAD GOT INTO OUR CAR! HOW WE ARE NOT SURE BUT THE LITTLE BEGGARS WERE HAVING FUN EATING ANY PAPER THAT THEY COULD FIND. I PUT IN TWO TRAPS BAITED WITH A NICE BIT OF CHOCOLATE, AND BINGO THE NEXT MORNING I HAD TWO MICE. THIS MORNING I HAD ANOTHER ONE. I HOPE THAT IS THE END OF IT. GOOD PRODUCT. ONE PROBLEM WAS THE LITTLE PLUG WHICH HOLDS THE BAIT FELL OUT WHEN I GOT RID OF A DEAD MOUSE, OR HAD PINGED OUT WHEN THE TRAP SPRUNG AND I CANNOT FIND IT YET.
