   These traps are the best. I got all different types of traps all over but this is the only one that catches the critters. After using them for years, I found tricks to increase the chance of a catch. First, use them back to back facing different direction against a wall. Mice are near sighted so they run along walls to know where they are going. Second, put the traps where you see droppings. Mice is a creature of habit. They will return to the same routes all the time especially when they know there’s food and where there’s food, you will see their droppings. Third, make a thin trail of peanut butter leading to the feeding cup from the opening and add a small blob at the opening. Like an appetizer. The mouse will get a taste of the goods and will not be afraid to go into the trap for the feast. I know it sounds crazy but the traps I’ve laid out with the appetizer always get the mouse even with other traps side by side to it. Good luck.

   The mice were outsmarting the glue traps in my apartment. I put a pea-sized ball of peanut butter in the server cup and have caught 2 mice so far.

   I tried so many brands and wasted so much money on the “live” traps to curb my little visitors but after awhile they just procreate too fast and when you live in a suburban area it’s a struggle. My biggest issue was getting something that “shielded” me from the gory details (yes, I know there are many activists up in arms) and this is a small, very effective trap. My advice would be to make sure and put a “sticky” bait on (peanut butter) verus cheese because there is a small opening in the back (that is needed to set the spring) where they can actually pull the cheese off and not go in the front of the trap.

   I found these in a supermarket and have been using the four I bought 7 years ago, until they finally broke (hence my order here.) After a couple of nasty experiences with mice caught in glue traps (which are remarkably cruel!), I started looking for a better mousetrap and this is it. Once you set the latch, you know you’ve caught a mouse by the lever in the air and the tail trailing out the back of the trap. To get rid of the dead mouse, you pop the back, lift the lever up a little to release the snap and shake it out. You don’t even have to look when you’re doing this. Then you just have to reset them. We had a big problem a few years ago, and these traps were life (and sanity)-savers. We’re down to the occasional rodent now (thank the heavens!), but I still couldn’t live without these.

   I have two things to add that I didn’t see in the other reviews.

   1. This DID NOT work immediately. For some reason the mouse would just not even look at it. I eventually got it to work when I put some peanut butter on one of the wooden mouse traps. The mouse ate all of the bait on that trap without setting it off, and then he must’ve been hungry for more. He FINALLY went to get some peanut butter bait from the d-con, and WHAM, dead on site.

   2. If the mouse trap snaps, in order to reset it, you must push the pin back in. in the back of the trap where there is a slot, if you look at the very bottom, you will see a metal pin. This pin must be all the way in in order for you to be able to reset the trap. The best way to do it, is to turn the trap over on its side. Or, get some tool to hold it in place.

   I’ll even add a third thing. DON’T ASSUME THAT YOU ONLY HAVE ONE MOUSE!!! I did, and after catching my “one and only mouse” I was awaken during the middle of the night, and now need to purchase a couple more of these things.
