Product Description

This Humane Mouse Trap is perfect for all animal lovers. The Smart Mouse Trap senses when the mouse enters to retrieve the bait and snaps the door shut. The little critter will stay in the trap enjoying his treat until you come and release him in a safe place. To use this easy "no kill" mousetrap simply place a "saltine" cracker in the bait holder, set the trap and check frequently (make sure you check daily or you may starve a trapped mouse). Take the live mouse still in the trap to a wooded or brushy area and open the door and set the little guy free. Escape is delayed until the mouse chews through the cracker. This delay avoids contact between the mouse and the trap user and gives the mouse a little snack to keep him nourished for a while. The Smart Mouse Trap can be cleaned and reused as many times as needed. You'll be thrilled with this quick and humane mouse control. The trap is made of green see-through Kodar plastic & two stainless steel springs work the trap door. Measures 3" x 7" x 2.5". Comes with 1 mouse trap with instructions and booklet about trapping smart mice and mouseproofing your home. Endorsed by humane societies and animal rights organizations in the U.S. and worldwide. Makes a great gift for animal lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Safe, efficient, humane and eco-friendly product!, September 25, 2007

You'll read about various possible solutions and shortcomings of each - to include the sonic sound devices - the mice just get used to that sound and the device becomes ineffective over time. The trap is kind of expensive here so bought it at Abundant Earth dot com - you need at least two traps to be effective at eliminating the problem per the article and shipping was cheaper there too.

The trap works great - I used wheat germ mixed with a dab of honey to bind the grains down the end of the trap and caught seven mice over three day period. The 2nd day out the trap caught two mice in a single trapping and they had ample room in this trap to move about and turn around. They even sat up and cleaned their little paws while they waited for their drive to the local forest park.

The trap itself is a slender, hard plastic and I can see how it would be prone to cracking if you forced parts to go where they shouldn't. The instructions do encourage you check the trap frequently as these fellas can dehydrate to death if left in the trap for a few days.

Anyone purchasing this trap is likely concerned about the humane way of dealing with the little furry creatures - where mice will gnaw off their limbs if stuck to the glue paper and to consider resorting to drowning or other means are just cruel and unnecessary means of removing the creatures, this trap is a fast, safe and perfect solution. You only need to bait the trap with a wheat-based product and once caught, set the mice loose in a small patch of woods or field. I like the idea of someone putting them in an empty aquarium tank with a perforated lid and perhaps making a once/week trip out to the woods to let them go if you accumulate many mice in a short period or live far from a viable relocation site for the mice.

My problem seems to be solved after only three days of using the traps and capturing seven mice. It is now day five and no more critters have manifested. I feel good about having relocated the ones I caught back to nature where they will fall back into the eco-cycle to live as nature intended.

We are in awe over how well this device works! In just 24 hours we have already caught 3 mice, and they all have happy new homes in the woods. My children race to check the traps each morning, who would have thought catching mice could be so much fun? I researched humane traps thoroughly, save yourself some time and just buy this one!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, April 20, 2008

I purchased 8 of these. See that little plastic hook that holds the entry door open? Well, older, angry mice just chew that off and then you can toss this unit right into trash. Unless you remove that mouse the minute it gets caught, it will eat the tip off. I must admit I caught many mice before they talked to each other and told them what to do. I now have orders in for metal units. The little grey cheapy units you can buy are too small. Mice can just back out of them after grabbing bait.
