JT Eaton 409 Jawz Indoor Plastic Mouse Trap for Solid or Liquid Bait, Instant Kill Mouse Traps, No-Touch Disposal with Trap Set Indicator 12-Pack

If you want good mouse traps buy these. They are really easy to set and you can bait them before you set them.

My mouse fighting adventure started one night when my wife and a mouse accidentally startled each other in the kitchen. (you can see the mouse and make it move if you toggle between the two included pics)Naturally, my wife screamed and the mouse ran across the kitchen floor and straight under the dishwasher.That evening I spent hours researching traps of all sorts. The reviews for mouse traps were badly mixed so it was difficult to make a quick decision.That’s when I came across these Jaws traps. I’m a pretty skeptical person. But, right away I was impressed with the modern design of the traps.I liked that the traps were set simply by pulling back a lever, which all but eliminated the risk of accidentally having the trap smash a finger, like older traps are notorious for doing.I was also impressed with the safety features.The traps have a sticker across the lever that makes it easy to see when the trap is armed and when its safe to handle.I discovered that there are even trap enclosures available from the company at an extra cost, that make it impossible for cats and dogs and other pets to spring them. I really appreciate that.Without too much hesitation, I decided to give them a try.I ordered a 12 pack of Jaws Traps and they arrived quickly. I was pleased with the quality. After testing them I could tell immediately that they would be more than powerful enough to do the job.Later that evening I set the traps under my sink. Exactly two hours later, I heard the sharp snap of the trap closing shut. And then dead silence. After a few minutes I inspected the traps and found that the trap had successfully done its job.Disposing of the mouse was simple and neat. I felt completely satisfied with the performance of the traps. And happy about my decision to buy them.In my option, based on my own personal experience using them, I consider these Jaws mouse traps to be far superior in every way to older mouse traps I have used in the past,This is due largely to the fact that Unlike older traps that place the bait directly on top of the trigger mechanism making it possible for the bait to be stolen. (Which is a common frustrating problem with older style traps.)These Jaws traps have a superior trigger mechanism design which places the bait below the trigger.Which makes it very difficult, if not impossible for a mouse to steal the bait without causing the trap to trigger.I am very happy with these traps. And plan to use them from here on out.Before I end my review (which I seldom write unless I feel the product is particularly exceptional) I have a few tips on catching mice, I hope you will find useful:Tip #1 Set your traps in the right place.The best place to set your traps is wherever you find mouse droppings. The droppings look like tiny black specks. Once you find it’s dropping you can be sure that it will visit that area again. And your traps will be there waiting for it.2. Set multiple traps.You want to bring out your big guns right off the bat. Even if you think that you only have one mouse.Setting all of your traps at once dramatically increases your odds of trapping your mouse quickly.3. Use the right bait. Mice eat anything. So, technically you can use any bait you want. But the item that most people agree is a mouse’s favorite food is peanut butter. I personally used Reese’s peanut butter cups in all of my traps. I find that I can avoid any clean up, if I just cut a small piece from a Reese’s peanut butter cup and drop it into the traps bait holder. Rather than trying to spoon or squirt sticky, messy peanut butter into the bait holder.4. Finally, find out how they're getting in your home and seal those holes off with some spray foam.Hope you find this useful.

Set all 12 traps with peanut butter and BAM three down first night. I can’t believe there were three mice. I’m so relieved. Bait boxes, sticky traps failed me but these traps worked first night. No touch, just pinched the trap and released mice into the trash, didn’t even need gloves. Traps are even still baited. Copied someone else’s idea, using a big syringe to put peanut butter in traps works great.

Since my kitty cats passed, I no longer have the mouse protection I used to have. I am less concerned about being humaine than I am vermin free. The old fashioned snap traps are a bit tricky. I've been using these Jawz for a few years and I love them. They are easy to set without injury to myself. Reusable and easy to clean. When that jaw goes now, the mice don't get to wriggle away. I find the "snap, thunk" sound to be very satisfying. I highly recommend peanut butter to bait these traps. It's a perfect combo.

12 traps came unprotected in a plastic shipping bag 2 of the traps where broken on arrival.

These are the best mouse traps I have ever tried. I don't know what's happened to the old wooden Victor and similar design traps but mice have been just picking them clean lately without setting them off. I had some of these Jawz traps a few years ago but, one way or the other, I lost them over time. I find myself constantly complaining about other mouse traps when I find them each morning picked clean but no mice. So I ordered more of the Jawz traps and those frustrations are now gone.Great things about these traps:1) I use peanut butter in my traps and I squirt it into the little bowls using a large syringe which is very fast and neat. Because the little bowl for bait is below the pad the mouse has to stand on, the mouse must put it's weight on the pad to get at the bait and that almost always means the trap will snap. With traditional traps, the mouse doesn't have to stand on the trigger.2) Setting these traps is super-easy. Just pull the handle back and that's it. I think some complain that they are sensitive and may snap when setting them but you can get around that by simply putting a little upward pressure on the trigger pad when setting them. But new traps shouldn't require that.3) They are super-easy to remove the mouse. Just swing the handle back and the mouse drops out unlike traditional traps where you have to grab the trap wire. With those, I generally used needle nose pliers to open the trap. There's no need for that with these traps.I have 10 traps in my garage. I like to catch mice in the garage before they try to enter the trap. My garage is near my house but not attached to the house. With traditional traps lately, I almost always find each morning that almost all or even all the traps have been picked clean but no trap has been set off. If I'm lucky, I may catch one mouse every few days. Yesterday, I replaced those traps with the Jawz traps and this morning I had three mice and not a single trap had been picked clean.Finally, someone really has designed a better mouse trap!

I bought these after having issues with mice getting into my car and tractor that are outside. They worked well at first but after a couple of months they don't close as they should because of sand and dirt that gets in them. Even after cleaning they just don't always work like they did when they were new.

You can use these mousetraps multiple times, and they are easy to set by just stepping on the trap.Strong spring, usually dispatches mice instantly.

These are awesome! I will never buy any other trap. Easy to bait and set. I use these to catch voles. Bait it with 5 or 6 sunflower seeds or a small piece of dried cranberry and those pesky varmints head right for it. The trap is very sensitive and the teeth around the edge of the trap ensure nothing underneath them escapes. I have caught two voles in one trap at the same time on several occasions. Easy to empty and reset. Buy with confidence.

Well made

Truly a one handed operation to empty and reload!

Get the job done at the cottage, very reasonable price.

and are easy to bait. Look no further. These work the best!
