Effective, safe for homes with children, and humane!, November 7, 2007
We live out in the country, and the mice are starting to come inside now to stay warm as the weather gets cooler outside. We were given some of these traps to use, and are so grateful to have them! In just the three days since we put these out, we have caught seven different mice, the last five of which were caught without even putting any bait in the traps! We just put the traps where we have seen the mice and they got caught while exploring.
We have a small child, and knew that we didn't want to put out poison, glue traps, or the spring-loaded traps, so these have provided us a very effective means for trapping mice while not putting our daughter in jeopardy.
The only concern about these is that it is hard to clean them out well after the mice leave droppings in them, but we are just rinsing them out well with the garden hose before bringing them back into the house, and then wiping down the outside surfaces with disinfectant wipes. Our daughter is constantly supervised, so that should do the trick for us, to prevent her from getting access to any germs the mice leave behind.
I would definitely recommend these traps to anybody with a mouse problem, especially to those with small children or pets who could be harmed by some of the more traditional methods of handling the problem. And the fact that these traps are no-kill is, of course, a good thing too; just be sure to take the mice far enough away from the house before releasing them! In fact, we have had such luck with these traps that we will be getting more as soon as we can! These things are great!

I had full confidence, but..., June 11, 2009
As a vegan and generally compassionate guy, I sought out these humane traps. I have had 2-3 mice rooting through my garbage and they needed to be dealt with promptly. These traps sounded great. Unfortunately, after laying down all three traps for about 9 days, i got nuthin. Finally, I developed a system to shake the mice out of my main trash can, into a smaller one. In that one, i put a trap. One mouse wound up in there a couple days ago. I took the trap around the block and let him go. He looked into my eyes before he left, as if to thank me. Strange. Yesterday, after spending an afternoon in the small, dark trash can, two mice finally made thier way into the trap. I again let them go a couple blocks away and laughed as they scrambled into traffic, barely avoiding cars. I wasnt laughing as I watched them make thier way back to my apartment complex. So, in theory, these traps are great. And, they should work. Maybe my mice are too shrewd to be willingly captured, maybe they know better, i dont know.

Empty traps don't mean no mice, October 2, 2009
This trap did not work for us. I've had success with the twelve dollar green traps with the snap close lid, so I tried three of these transparent ones for much cheaper. My mice are apparently lazy, and will not lift even the light weight doors on these cheap traps. Yes, I have a cat but it apparently makes friends with the mice and has all night parties around the kibble bowl. I recommend you actually spend the money on a fancier trap, and do it NOW! Buy lots of expensive traps, because they are breeding even as you dither. Also, there is no known use for mice doots.
