Built sturdy and durable, but may need some modification.

I ordered this trap and when I received it, I baited it with pizza crust and set in the our garage. The following morning, the bait was gone and the trap was empty. I repeated this for 3 days and ended up with the same result. Because of that, I decided to try bending the metal prones in the center closer together. When I opened the bottom and flipped the trap upside-down, I noticed it was missing a single short wire bar between the center cone and top outer edge. This was nearly impossible to notice while looking down at the trap, because there are so many little green bars running this way and that. But when you flipped it upside, it was clear the mice could climb the sides and escape through this gap, so if you buy this trap, inspect it thoroughly. To remedy the problem, I took two fender washers and a small bolt and mounted them over the gap. Since then, the trap has worked, but I suspect a few mice are still escaping and I'm going to need to shorten or grease the center cone-shaped bars.

The BEST live trap I have used!

Before this I tried live multi-catch traps from Victor (didn't work for me) and the Safeguard Galvanized Rodent Live Trap (my second favorite trap). I was not expecting this trap to work because it seems extremely simple and there is nothing to 'set'. You just add food (tip: oats & honey granola bars are a favorite of deer mice which are the type we have problems with). It seems crazy to think that despite there being a permanent opening in the center of the trap that the mice cannot escape, but I can attest that it's true. We put out our new trap (in the same place we have been successful in catching mice with our old Safeguard trap) and we caught a mouse in the first three hours of use; we then caught a mouse every day for the next week. The one thing I will say is that since this trap is very "open", the caught mouse becomes terrified easily...we would put an old dishtowel or paper towel over it after we caught a mouse so it would remain calm until it was time for us to release it. Love this trap--since there is nothing to set, there is nothing to break, which means it will last pretty much forever. I also like that it will catch & hold multiple mice.

Big disappointment

Trying to stop a basement-producing mouse plague, I bought three of the Advantek 20030 Catch and Release Mouse Traps. The mice go in, but they also go out, with abandon. Caught one mouse when I managed to put something over the hole so he couldn't get out! Otherwise, ZERO. Very disappointing and expensive product if you've gotten multiples.

Useless garbage

I ordered four of these traps to help eliminate a mouse infestation. All four traps were cleaned out of bait, not one mouse was in the traps. Clearly the mice can get out of these pretty easily. These traps are useless garbage. Don't waste your money like I wasted mine.

Mice went in then went back out...

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2011

I was looking for a different trap than the plastic ones which work until the mice chew them up enough to get back out easily. I thought this one might do the trick, but three nights of mice just going in, eating a snack then going right back out. I tried squeezing the entry hole tines a little tighter. It still doesn't work. The mice definitely go in there, but they don't stay. This trap is going back to Amazon.

Many mice enter, many mice leave.
They take many baits,
but leave only many droppings.
The tin cat type trap (not brand)
works well one yard away from this misconception.
