 ***BUY THIS ONE!!!*** November 16, 2006

We are in awe over how well this device works! In just 24 hours we have already caught 3 mice, and they all have happy new homes in the woods. My children race to check the traps each morning, who would have thought catching mice could be so much fun? I researched humane traps thoroughly, save yourself some time and just buy this one!
The only live trap I know that works December 30, 2006

And it works great. Others in my family have used these, and caught mice on the first night. I've never actually caught mice with other live traps, including the big, well-known one, and the little cheapos from hardware stores, nor has anyone I know.
Nuff said?!
Nope, one more thing. Be sure to check it every morning after you set it. If you have any mice in the house, you are likely to catch one, and you don't want it dying in there just because you forgot to look. Put a reminder in your calendar!
Works Great with Minor Tweaks April 2, 2007

The trap just works when set in the path frequented by the mice. It has a 100% success rate against adult mice in our house. It needed minor tweaks to achieve 100% removal rate against baby mice. The following are usage notes that may be useful.
Manual says to leave goodies in the slots of the door but that did not work because our mice would run around outside trying to get the goodies. We adapted by leaving goodies inside towards the very back by the escape door. This enticed the mice to enter.
Manual says to use cracker and peanut butter but that did not work. Our mice preferred chocolate cookies, especially Newman's. Go figure!
The trap worked flawlessly for adult mice of sufficient weight but would not trigger for baby mice due to their very light weight. We slowly added coins (dimes and pennies) in the very back by the escape door to pre-load the trigger. Then we put in the goodies. This let us trap two very light weight tiny baby mice.
With these adpatations, we have removed two adult mice and two baby mice without difficulties. Sure hope there are no more left in our house!
Safe, efficient, humane and eco-friendly product! September 25, 2007

You'll read about various possible solutions and shortcomings of each - to include the sonic sound devices - the mice just get used to that sound and the device becomes ineffective over time. The trap is kind of expensive here so bought it at Abundant Earth dot com - you need at least two traps to be effective at eliminating the problem per the article and shipping was cheaper there too.
The trap works great - I used wheat germ mixed with a dab of honey to bind the grains down the end of the trap and caught seven mice over three day period. The 2nd day out the trap caught two mice in a single trapping and they had ample room in this trap to move about and turn around. They even sat up and cleaned their little paws while they waited for their drive to the local forest park.
The trap itself is a slender, hard plastic and I can see how it would be prone to cracking if you forced parts to go where they shouldn't. The instructions do encourage you check the trap frequently as these fellas can dehydrate to death if left in the trap for a few days.
Anyone purchasing this trap is likely concerned about the humane way of dealing with the little furry creatures - where mice will gnaw off their limbs if stuck to the glue paper and to consider resorting to drowning or other means are just cruel and unnecessary means of removing the creatures, this trap is a fast, safe and perfect solution. You only need to bait the trap with a wheat-based product and once caught, set the mice loose in a small patch of woods or field. I like the idea of someone putting them in an empty aquarium tank with a perforated lid and perhaps making a once/week trip out to the woods to let them go if you accumulate many mice in a short period or live far from a viable relocation site for the mice.
My problem seems to be solved after only three days of using the traps and capturing seven mice. It is now day five and no more critters have manifested. I feel good about having relocated the ones I caught back to nature where they will fall back into the eco-cycle to live as nature intended.
This one really works! April 15, 2007

Oh, my word! This trap actually works! I don't write reviews very often, but this product deserves another good one. I've had a mouse in my kitchen for over a month. The first week, he went into a humane trap I bought - and fought his way out of it overnight. After that, he was wary of the five or six different I types I bought and set around. I was ready to call in the exterminators and deal with the poison, but I saw this trap and decided it would be my (and the mouse's) last chance. He went into it right off the bat! And because the trap is clear plastic, unlike all the other ones I had around, I was able to tell he was actually in there (a big fella!). It has a better design, too, in that the mouse can't actually get the treat you put in until you open the "escape hatch" on the end and he can chew his way out through the treat. That buys you some time to get away while he scampers out. Very cool. I've used humane traps before and had success, but it was always a little dodgy trying to release the mouse and not have it - and me - get a little freaked out when he sprinted out of the trap. If you're at your wits' end, give this trap a go. It works! Just make sure you release him a ways from your house - apparently, they have a pretty large travel span, and will come right back if they're nearby.
