0361510 Mouse Snap Traps

First night, first mouse. Baited with peanut butter.

First winter in a historical house and I knew I would likely get a mouse. My first mouse trap was from this brand and it was one of those electric ones. The mice never seem to get caught in it. My dog kept bringing it out and trying to figure out what it was. I read reviews on a few other products and found that a lot of people seemed to have success with snap traps. I bought this because the jagged claws seemed like they wouldn't hurt my large dog if she got her snout or paw in it. Lucky for me, this trap is smaller than the electrical ones, so I was able to squeeze it under some furniture next to a wall where I was certain the mice were. Baited with peanut butter, confirmed the dog never even knew the trap was there, and called it a night. Literally woke up the next day to find a successful capture. I highly recommend.

These do not work well for mice. Easily robbed and not always a humane kill when they do work. (The Tomcat rat trap version works very well by comparison.) These are, arguably, inhumane. Lucky I only bought two. Destined to collect dust on my shop workbench.

Every year once it starts getting cold, I get a few little uninvited guests in my house, and since my old traps were looking pretty haggard, I figured I'd give these a try. I was skeptical at first, because these don't seem as strong as the old school, wooden mouse traps, but let me tell you, they've dispatched with those uninvited guests pretty handily, and the no-touch design makes it easier to dispose of them, and they're easier to set than the old school traps, too. These are definitely my mouse traps of choice from now on. Give them a try if you haven't already. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, but your little uninvited guests won't. They'll just be surprised - briefly.

Spring seems too weak to be able to kill anything
