1.0 out of 5 stars A RIP-OFF, ONE-USE-ONLY MOUSE TRAPS ( IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET 1 USE ), January 6, 2010

By	Toni T. "Toni T." (Carter Lake, IA./ Omaha NE) - See all my reviews

I still haven't found all of the cracks in my fixer-upper house where a HEARD of mice had come in and quickly reproduced like crazy. I bought live-catch traps but quickly realized they weren't going to be anywhere's near effective enough and regretably I needed to buy the most humanely possible kill traps. These yellow-plap Victor mouse traps were available locally so I bought 4 of them but I could only get 3 of them to set and after they had snapped once I could only get one to reset. I thought the store I bought them from may have recieved a shippment that missed ta quality inspection so I bought more from a lumber yard; but unfortunately I had the same identical experience. I tried angeling the flap way up and even tried bending the copper bar in various ways in hopes of being able to use them more than once, but to no avail. These yellow-flap snap-traps only last for zero, one or maybe two catches before they're 'worn out'.
~ I think it's important to offer helpful options and solutions when I find a problematic product, SOooo... The most effective remidy that FINALLY helped me win this two year war against the mice was to invest $36 in 2 of the Victor electronic mouse traps. They've been very effective, they don't creep me out to empty them, I'VE REUSED THEM TO CATCH DOZENS OF MICE and beside occasionally needing to change batteries, I don't see how they could break or wear out. HOWEVER, several persons experienced a 'learning curve' with them but they were helpful enough to leave reviews explaining the FEW things they had overlooked or didn't understand about the electronic traps. I found a few additional tips or tricks to make the electronic trips even more effective (which you can read by clicking on 'see her other reviews) but I can gladly say that my mice population is finally gone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catching mice like crazy, November 6, 2009

By	cj "cj" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The problem people seem to be describing is that the trap trigger cannot support much weight. You really shouldn't need that much bait. I just sprinkle a few shelled sunflower seeds around the trap, and sprinkle a few on the trigger, then set the trap. I've never had one snap while setting it, and every morning (when there are mice...tested by checking whether any of the other sprinkled food is still there) I'm having to toss these out.

My only wish is that I could get them in greater quantities for more of a discount, because mice keep invading my garage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trapped Mouse Quickly, September 28, 2009

By	Altec (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

I set the trap in place without any problem. It should be handled with care. The locking bar has a firm setting (left side) and sensitive sitting (far right). The instructions state no bait required. Yet, I placed a small, peas-size amount of home-made peanut butter in the nook on the pedal.

Within about an hour, the trap activated. The eerie aspect is that I heard mouse squeaks and movement thereafter. A short while later, I found the mouse in the trap with its leg and tail trapped. So, I had to deal with discarding the live mouse.

Warning! This trap should not be used around children. Further, it should be placed in a location where it can be accidentally triggered by bare feet or fingers. The spring appears powerful enough to cause severe inquiry.
