5.0 out of 5 stars The Pontius Pilate of traps, July 13, 2009

We have used one of these since 2004 and have never lost a mouse. It's flat enough to fit in a drawer but large and ventilated enough that the mice don't die of dehydration (sweat) before you get to releasing them in a mouse-friendly location, after which they're on their own. There are no fiddly things to set - each door resets itself after every mouse. Peanut butter makes a good bait, but mice will often just wander into the trap out of curiosity. Don't trap a lactating mother - wait a week for the babies to grow up and you can catch and relocate the whole family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps mice out of my truck engine., November 14, 2009

I've used one of these traps for many years, always without bait, and have caught literally hundreds of mice in a barn and storage house where mice can only be controlled and never entirely eliminated. It seems to work better if left untouched for a couple of days or more. Possibly the human scent needs time to wear off after handling it; I don't know. Mice will die after about one day or less if not released. I usually catch more than one at a time. I suspect that after one is caught, the noise it makes attracts others. My pick-up truck is parked outside, and mice had built nests inside the heating system. Placing and keeping these traps beside the inside of the tires (underneath the vehicle) every night uses curiosity to catch the mice as they go up and down the tires, which is the only possible way they can get into the vehicle. It's a little bit of a nuisance, but the mouse problem in my truck seems solved, and these gizmos prevented ongoing expensive auto repairs. I definitely recommend them for mouse control wherever mice are a constant problem, but would not recommend them for an occasional mouse in the home.

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't catch a single mouse!, January 10, 2010

We set this up in the same space where we have always caught mice with our other single catch trap, and left it there, baited, for several days. Didn't catch anything. So set up our old single catch trap, UNbaited, right in front of the new trap on the shelf, so that the new trap would still be the first one they came to as they scurried on the shelf back against the wall, and caught a mouse in the OLD trap that very same night. It's odd, my sister has a trap that looks exactly the same as this one, only by a different manufacturer, and they've been catching mice right and left with theirs. Seems like with this particular trap, some of them work, and some of them don't, depending on how well they were made. We apparently just got one of the non-working ones. Returning this one for a refund, and going back to our old single catch trap until we can get another multicat Tomcat trap like we used to have.
