JT Eaton 409BULK Jawz Plastic Mouse Trap, For Solid or Liquid Bait (Pack of 24)

Update: These traps have captured seven (yes, 7!!) mice in just under a week, as opposed to the humane traps I tried, which caught zero (yes, 0) mice in about two weeks.At first, I really tried to be humane to the little guys, and used live catch traps, but they just laughed at them, so unfortunately, I had to step it up to these traps. I found these very easy to set, and bait, and so far they have caught two mice in one day. The design makes it so that mice have to step on the triggering platform in order to even get near the bait, so there should be no issues with mice stealing the bait. In addition, the triggering mechanism seems to be very sensitive, which should also help catch the mice.Many mice seem to know not to take bait from a trap, so you kind of need to be smart about how you position your traps. I knew of a particular opening in the wall that mice were running to, so I took nine of these traps, and lined them up touching each other side by side with the trapping end right against the wall, along the route the mice use to get to the opening in the wall. Mice greatly prefer running along walls, and along the perimeter of rooms, so setting traps this way seems to work well even for catching mice that don't try to get the bait- they just get caught in the trap when running to their destination, which is was I believe happened in these two cases.I happened to see the first mouse getting caught in the trap, and since it ran into the trap at a 90 degree angle, its head was not caught in the trap, but more of its upper body and torso, but it still seemed to pass away quickly, without much suffering, and just twitched for another second or two. I was a little skeptical about the snapping force of these traps, as one snapped on my finger during setup, and it didn't seem to be very strong, or at least not on my finger, but I will just say that the parts of the mouse that did get caught in the trap were FLAT, so that kind of puts my mind at ease, knowing that if the mouse is positioned correctly, I won't be setting it up for a slow painful death.Releasing the mouse is easy as well, and you don't need to touch any area that the dead mouse touched, because you're just pressing down on a lever opposite of the business end of the trap, and pressing it further resets the trap. It is also convenient to be able to look at all the traps, and tell by the little colored stickers whether each trap is armed.This also seems to be a great price per trap, and you know what they say, if you see one mouse, then you've got ten. I also read that going nuts on the quantity of traps is really effective, so buying them by the case seems like a good idea.I really hate to have to resort to ending these little guys' lives, but I just can't have them running around my kitchen, on my counters, on the couch, in my bed, or anywhere else anymore, and these traps at least seem to do the job quickly without much suffering.

This is a very effective mouse trap. Easy to set. It is easy to unload the trap without touching the dead mouse. Once in a great while the bait I use (peanut butter) gets eaten without the mouse getting caught. However, if you carefully depress the trip pan slightly while holding the back of the trap (so as not to trap your finger), the trap will have a hair trigger and nothing gets by it!

These are effective. We live in the country and the field mice chew up anything and everything in the garage. My wife keeps chicken feed in the garage too, so there is plenty of food to draw them in. But they were getting into everything and ruining all kinds of stuff. So we decided something needed to be done. We've used a number of different kinds of traps in the past, some live traps and some kill traps. These are so far the best we've used.We put out 12 of these traps one night and by morning we had 12 dead mice. No partial kills and mice flapping around like we had with the wood traps or the tan plastic traps. Justice with these is swift and decisive. We reset them again and had another 12 within a few hours. All told, we're probably at a hundred mice, and unfortunately 2 voles, but all clearly killed immediately. These trigger at the right time to catch them on the neck or the back every time. I've only had one mouse that was so entagled in the trap that I just decided to toss the trap. And that was really just because the mouse had frozen into the trap by morning and I didn't feel like trying to pry it out. Otherwise, they clean out easily. And we only need to refresh the peanut butter every couple of times, since they don't seem to have time to eat any.When you go to set the trap, you can put your finger on the back of the trigger plate to get it in the set position so resetting is fast and easy. At first I didn't realize this and was frustrated with how hard these seemed to be to get to lock in the set position. The peanut butter was sometimes holding the trigger plate down. Once I figured out to press on the back of the trigger plate, it was smooth sailing from there.I'm definitely very pleased with these.

These definitely kill mice, but not immediately. First mouse was still alive, and I had to finish the job by bashing with a canned soup. Then i tossed away the dead mouse, trap, the soiled soup can, and cried and drank wine. I know they are reusable if washed but I just can't.Second mouse was caught when I was out of the house. I don't know how long that took.So, this is super effective. Definitely works. But not humane or easy or pain free or not in your face.Just like it should be when you take a little life.So far tonight these things have killed 4 mice JUST TONIGHT. Which is the most effective of what I've tried:- cohabitation peacefully. Unfortunately I couldn't share anymore once there is poop on my counter.-scent deterrent pellets. my mice didn't care about peppermint scent either way.-catch n release. Bought live traps, caught 6-8 mice. Left them at forest preserve w supply of food. But more kept coming...-electronic mouse traps. I loved those. They are clean, and quick, and leave you with the illusion of "humane" kill. Unfortunately they short out very quickly... With a kill cost of $5-20 per mouse for me..So yes. These mouse-crushing jaw things work really well. Buy them.

No son tan sensibles, posiblemente por que el tamaño de ratones que tenia era muy pequeña, termine comprando cebos de bayern que esos si fueron bastante efectivos, me deshice de la plaga
