Review: ABSOLUTELY IS "THE BETTER MOUSETRAP" ! - MY ORIGINAL REVIEW (Update follows): After making myself crazy trying to use the old original traps with the wood base, I read reviews for this one (The Intruder 30442 6-Pack) and decided to try 'em. WOW! What a difference! Success every time. I can't believe how easy they are to set. And VERY easy to empty and rinse off. Never messy, but I rinse it anyway. I just spray it with a couple of shots of Simple Green, my "Go To" cleaner and rinse. Stupidly, I fought with the old style trap from the hardware/grocery store for weeks. I used them all my adult life when the need arose (The joys of rural living) but over the years the quality has finally deteriorated to the point where they weren't worth squat! I had a horrible time just trying to set that bad boy and keep it set until I could put it down in the right spot. I'd move just an inch or two and BAM! Or, if I was lucky enough after maybe a dozen attempts to get the trigger to stay put, in the morning, I would find the trap sprung, the bait gone and not a mouse in sight! Absolutely useless. VERY frustrating. Not a problem with this little gem. As a plus it snapped on my finger once and it didn't hurt much at all! At that point, I wasn't feeling very confident that it would do its job. But it did, every single time. Such a simple design, but it works - effortlessly. I'm sure that in time the spring will weaken and the trap will be tossed. That's why I bought six. I only used three so far and in less than a week, I no longer hear the pitter patter of tiny little feet. I caught a total of six mice, since I started using these traps, the cat got only one. What does that say about the effectiveness of "The Intruder"? I'm sold. I suggest using peanut butter, because it is easier to rinse off "after" than cheese. The cheese sticks to the little ridges on the paddle as it dries. It can be rinsed off, but the p-butter is much easier. My only regret is that I didn't try these little gems sooner. What a fool I was. UPDATE 5/17/2015: Yup! My review above is SO spot on! It's now 10 days later and I STILL LOVE THESE TRAPS! They have not sprung for about a week now. The pnut butter bait is still there. And not a single sign of mousies - no visual sightings, no audible sounds of tiny tap dancing feet, and no telltale mini tootsie rolls. However, the last mouse in my house was interesting. About a week ago, as I was sleeping in the middle of the night, in the dark, I awoke to hear some weird scratching, scuffling sounds. They seemed to be coming from the far corner of the room where I had stored a few boxes and packing materials. Since my screens don't fit tightly, moths get in and as I crawled down under the covers, I convinced myself that a moth or moths (some of those suckers are BIG) were fluttering around in the packing paper. I was not brave enough to get out of bed and investigate. (Shudder) After all, it was dark and it could have been the boogeyman. (We all know he can't get us if we stay under the covers!) Long story short, I kept hearing the noises from the same spot all night. Eventually, it dawned on me that the last mousie in my housie had fallen/jumped into one of the larger boxes and was struggling to get out, an impossible task for a guy his size. When morning (and daylight) finally arrived, my suspicions were confirmed. I took the box out to the far corner of my property and released the little one. He took off toward the nearest tree a couple of feet away and scurried under a large piece of fallen tree bark where he promptly started hammering and sawing to put the finishing touches on his new home. He was a smart one. After all, he was the only mousie to find a way out of my house alive! The only one who outsmarted the Intruder 30442 Mousetrap!
Review: Great trap, easy to set, easy to clean, easy to bait, Catches them solid if tripped, easy to xport and drop mouse. - Love these traps. 1 I used frito corn chip. press end and trap opens. when trap opens a nice "tongue" sticks up. crush a frito to smaller pieces and put them on that tounge.. I would then place the trap on top of something so themouse has to stand on his back two legs and use his hands to lean on when he goes for hte food. I think they "might" be able to swipe the food if they don't have to use their hands inside the trap. I have these all over hte place and i found a few robbed with no mice. unsprung. ones i placed on a power strip.. or a paperback book .. the food does not get "robbed" it's 100%. I found out i had mice once winter set in. there were some corn chip bags and i heard the crinkling. i loaded a trap with peanut butter and watched.. a mouse came out.. ignored the peanut butter and tried to get in the corn chip bag i placed under the trap. So i used a corn chip.. and bang.. 7 mice later i seem to be mice free. Mice must have a history with corn fields. THEY LOVE FRITO CORN CHIPS!. And i LOVE these traps. once you have a mouse pick up the trap go to the bathroom, say a few last words ... or just good riddance. then squeeze the trap the trap opens (and resets) (like squeezing a wide wide cloths pin) mouse drops/flush and yor ready to toss another corn chip in there. These are plastic and washable, but i have jsut been tossing them out, mice creep me out. I bought an electric trap and havent enen bothered setting it up. these traps with a corn chip have done a fantastic job. Oh i have a dog.. so i stuck my finger in the trap to trip it.. and it is a scary shock but it does my finger no damage. So i wont hurt my dog other than a bit of a scare if he somehow gets in the trap. (might not be very comfortable on his tongue tho). This is it tho.. i will never buy another type mousetrap, and i will never use a different bait. the perfect pair. this trap u place the bait on the toungue which is the trap trigger.. if a mouse puts his hands on that trigger it will trip, you do not need to glue the bait in the trap. zoom in on the image and you can see the massive tongue to place the bait on. on the traps i elevated (on a power strip or old paperback), not one bait has gone missing.
