4 Pack Humane Mouse Traps Indoors, Live Mice Traps, Upgraded Sensitive Effective & Easy Use,Touchless Catch Mice, Mouse, Field Mouse & Rodent Catchers For Home, Commercial, Residential, Outdoor

We are very pleased indeed with these Humane Mouse Traps which we purchased as a 4 pack. We discovered we had some 'Overnight Intruders' after one popped up in my son's bedroom, so decided to deal with it promptly before it became a real problem. We bought the 4 pack as we were not sure how/where the mice were entering the house but after a good seach we found a few droppings near a hole cut into the plasterboard in our kitchen. The traps themselves are made from a hard plastic, with a food trap at the end for bait and a spring activated drop down lid at the other end which traps mouse inside of tube. Both ends of the trap are metal reinforced so caught animal cannot knaw through the plastic ends to escape and the drop down lid cannot be pushed up by the trapped mouse. The trap is activated by the mouse when he steps onto pressure plate which is postioned just before the bait, as he steps onto it he releases the spring and the end lid drops down trapping mouse inside of tube. We found that the pressure plate and the spring which activates the drop down lid is quite sensitive as one of the mice we caught was tiny. The drop down end cannot be pushed up as we watched the larger of the mice we caught try to escape by pushing and scratching at it as we carried mousetrap outside to release him. We baited three of the traps with 'peanut butter' as suggested and laid them around the house at what we thought were potential sites of entry and hiding. We laid one behind our freezer where a gas pipe came into kitchen from outside via cavity space, one in our lounge and one in the attic. We were careful to use gloves so as not to pass on a 'human' scent which could put mice off of entering the tube to get to food. We put mouse traps down the day after we received them from seller and waited to see what would happen, no way did we think we would get a result as quickly as we did. After putting down traps we were in the lounge watching TV when we heard a clunk and 'Lo and Behold' just after a couple of hours we had caught our 'Jerry' and he was sat in the tube quite happily still eating the peanut butter even when we lifted trap up to take him outside to the allotments to release. He did panic a little then and tried to lift and scratch his way out the drop down lid but to no avail it stayed closed. He was then released, he was reluctant to leave tube and peanut butter so had to tip up tube slightly to get him out. At no time do you have to touch or come into contact with the mouse itself after you have caught it and then need to release it. Success, we then rebaited the trap and relaid it where it had been just incase there were more. Next morning we checked the traps and all were empty except for the one in the kitchen where we had caught the first mouse - there fast asleep and curled up in the tube was another small mouse. We released this mouse too, washed mouse trap and rebaited and replaced back to spot behind freezer in kitchen as the chances are we have more around the house behind the walls etc. and this appears to be the main point of entry. Hopefully this will resolve the mouse issue. We are really pleased and impressed with these mouse traps, a humane way of DIY catching mice, easy to set up and release trapped mice. A decent price for four of these traps which also come with a cleaning brush, we can definitely recommend on our experience of using these traps. Just a quick tip, after washing traps they are difficult to dry as the tube is too small for the hand so I used a hair dryer on cool to make sure all plastic and metal components were completely dry.

I almost never write reviews for products I buy on Amazon, but I felt I had to write one for these as they just work so well!Thanks to having a cat and living next to some fields, we had seen some evidence of mice in our utility room and heard something in the loft. Having read another review about using peanut butter, I loaded one trap with a small blob of peanut butter and put it down in the utility room. The next morning I came down to find one mouse sat in the trap, a little scared but otherwise unharmed, and I was able to release it at the bottom of the garden. I cleaned the trap out and put it down again the next night, and caught another one! I have also caught three more from the loft.Whilst it is not great to find I have had 5 mice living in my house, these traps are fantastic. High quality, humane and work quickly and easily. Can not recommend highly enough if you have a mouse problem.

I'm very impressed by this product. I noticed a mouse a few days ago eating suet pellets that the birds had dropped; so ordered these humane traps. Within 15mins of setting the first trap I heard it snap shut. At one point it seemed like the mice were lining up to get in. 4 caught overnight. I'm very impressed and I would definitely recommend to others.

The media could not be loaded. Works well. I have a mouse or two in the garage and I use peanut butter in the trap. There's also a trough at the end (where you're supposed to put the bait) but I just fill it with water so the mouse will have something to drink if it's caught early in the night. The peanut butter just gets smeared on the footplate trigger.

Does the job, easy to set up and catches mice humanely. It’s a good size to fit under counters and into small spaces but big enough to leave room for the mouse. The trap stays firmly shut until you’re ready/able to release the mouse, so you have peace of mind they’re not going anywhere once caught! Only 4* as a mouse clearly had got to the bait without being caught once, so it’s not fool proof.

They work well

The media could not be loaded. Took some time to trap these pesky guys. There were two of them.Think they're field mice. They just ignored the trap at first. Had to leave a trail of peanuts right up to the trap and inside.

Originally I was impressed with the product when it first arrived, but having now caught three mice in it it has a major flaw. The door at the back that you release them from has a metal lining and has gaps in it, presumably to allow air into the trap. However, the gaps are big enough for the mice to get their noses into and it's sharp, so all three have cut themselves on it - not humane really then is it?I have modified it slight by lining this part with carboard to stop them cutting themselves. Other than that, my original review below remains the same.The build quality is superb. It's very lightweight and seems very easy to use. It's easy to bait and will be easy to let the mice go. I had a metal one before that was a lot sturdier but it was prone to corrosion and wasn't easy to open and close which I don't think I'll have the same problem with this one.Couple of things that I hadn't thought about when I bought it. The door closes behind the mouse meaning I'll only catch one at a time. I guess this makes it more humane as it'll have enough space in the trap. My previous one had a door that only opened one way, so in theory you could catch more than one mouse at a time.Secondly, it is very lightweight. I plan on keeping this outside as the mice are accessing the step at my back door. So I will have to find a place that is sheltered from the wind or weight it down a bit.I do like that the door is far enough away from the bait meaning the mouse won't get hurt. Having examined this trap I think it will work well, so great value for money
