Amazon.com Review
While mouse infestations can be overwhelming, conventional "snap traps" often prove equally overwhelming to use. This tip trap has an ingeniously simple design that provides a safe, humane, and effective way to rid your house of mice. Simply remove the end cap and place peanut butter in the bait cup. Place the trap in a problem area and wait. As the mouse moves inside the trap to fetch the bait, the trap will tip up automatically, closing the trap door. Then you can release the mouse a safe distance from your house, allowing it to go on with its life and you to go on with yours.
Product Description
Tip-Trap Live Capture Mouse Trap. Made of polypropylene, resistant to stains and odors. Tip-Traps are easy to clean and can be reused or disposed of after mouse is caught. Place bait on the inside of the removable end cap. Place trap near a wall with trap door open. The smell of the bait will cascade from the unit, out the trap door and attract the mice. When mouse enters the Tip-Trap it will cause the unit to tip - closing the door and trapping the mouse inside. To release, simply position the Tip-Trap over desired area, pull back on closed trap door and let mouse slide out. Controls: Mice, voles and shrews. Try our Nutter Butter Squirrel, Rat and Mouse bait to increase your catch rate.

This review is from: Kness Tip-Trap 109-0-001 Live-Capture Mouse Trap (Lawn & Patio)
Folks,I know there are some mediochre (or lower) reviews regarding this product, but please understand that there can be mitigating factors that determine how well this product works (which I learned the hard way). This product, in fact, works extremely well!! I have a large house surrounded by woods. Combine that with the intense high temps outside and that can lead to a family of mice dweeling in my house. So hence the tip-trap. Within two weeks we caught 15 mice!! It works as promised!! But here are some things you need to know to make them work as promised: 1) The suggested bait is peanut butter. No need to change from this. However, our first instinct is to load up the bait cap in our excitement to nab the pesky mice! DON'T DO THIS. The tip trap is precisely balanced. A large dose of peanut butter adds too much weight to the trap side and could make the trap tip just from the vibrations of your walking, or even if the mouse is sniffing around it and nudges it. Only put a small glob the size of a Skittle or MM candy. It is VERY aromatic and mice have a very good sense of smell. That will be plenty of peanut butter to do the trick. 2) Mice are skittish and like to hug close to walls when they are out exploring, so keep the trap next to the wall (in their path), with just a hair of separation. You wouldn't want the trap to tip when the mouse was inside, but then get hung on the wall and the mouse escapes. 3) Keep the trap closest to the likely source of their entrance or starting point, probably where you see the mouse droppings. These traps will be most productive overnight when the house is quiet and the mice feel safe to come out. These things do work great! Just so you know, once you catch your mouse it will panic and leave lots of little mouse gifts for you inside of the trap. Rinse them out as soon as you free the mouse so they dont dry and stick inside. No need to get the trap spotless because the scent of the mouse you just let go will encourage other mice because they think it is a safe place to walk. I admit I have not tried any other live-traps than this one, as this was the first that I found when Googled and it works quite well. So while I can give you a very experienced testament to this product's success, I cannot compare to any other. But this one serves very well, so that's all I need anyway!! Enjoy!

I did allot of research on catch and release and it should be said that mice have a homing distance of 1 mile. So if you realease them a couple blocks away there is a 75 percent chance you will see them again.

Best mouse trap ever,

This review is from: Kness Tip-Trap 109-0-001 Live-Capture Mouse Trap (Lawn & Patio)
We bought one of these Kness Tip Traps, thinking it was a cute 'gizmo'. We have caught more than a dozen mice in it, and I am looking for more of them. It sets easily on any hard flat surface (like under the counter). The release is a lot of fun as well, shake the trap a few times and pop the lid and 'cast' the mouse back into the yard. The trap washes up nicely since it is plastic. All in all, great trap, I want more.
