I happened to see a mouse in my apartment on Sunday, ordered these the same day. They arrived on Tuesday, I set them up, and on Wednesday morning I had TWO dead mice in my kitchen... Holy cow, talk about effective!
I've bought mousetraps like this before, but that one was (a) more expensive, and (b) a lot heavier-duty. Taking them out of the package, they seemed to be made of plastic and a lot lighter duty than the old metal ones I bought and have since lost. I thought for a moment that they wouldn't even be able to kill a mouse!
BOY WAS I WRONG.
A six-pack for this price is FANTASTIC. What a deal! The traps clearly work — no muss, no fuss, no mousey guts to clean up — and they have some nice features to them too.
Reading other reviews, I did exactly as others did. I took out the little bait compartments — how handy is not having to put your fingers INSIDE the trap to load it up? — put in a little bit of peanut butter — the little barrel takes very little, something I was ALSO worried about for NO GOOD REASON — and added a piece of cereal (Tim Horton's Apple Fritter to be specific). I had to break the pieces into quarters to get them to fit, but that's another point in the product's favour, if you ask me: you don't have to use very much bait at all...
Squeeze the back to prime the trap and put it on the floor facing the wall or a junction between counter and major appliance (oven and fridge in this case) and away you go. Set it and forget it. I woke up to TWO dead mice in the morning when I thought there'd only be one! One of the traps had flipped over so I was staring at Mickey's belly while Minnie was showing me her back, but they were dead as doornails.
Hold the trap over a garbage bag, squeeze the back, and out fall the mice. RIP little guys (or gals). I thought about adding photos of the late rodents to the collection of other images other reviewers have posted, but I wanted those little squeakers GONE so I didn't bother. Into the trash they went.
The traps are currently reset and once again in the kitchen — and with six of them, I've got more than enough if a whole gang decides to drop in — and while I hope I don't see another mouse, I'm fully confident that these traps will take care of 'em.
The choice couldn't be simpler: buy these traps if you need to kill some mice. You won't regret it. Just remember that peanut butter helps hold the solid bait in place so the poor mouse HAS to really get in there to get their last meal, and the smell probably invites them in.
