Will the mouse suffer? How long does it take for the mouse to die when caught in the trap?

The mouse will suffer if you just let it sit there. If you're worried about that, consider getting a trap that snaps shut and kills the mouse or else end the mouse's life yourself. This is nothing but glue on cardboard, it's not poisonous to the mouse.

We have caught more insects (spiders, scorpions, etc.) we didn't have this brand but something somewhat similar and the mice could chew theirselves out of it if they didn't stick a certain way

To answer this question, it really goes back to physics and what the density coefficient is of the blunt object that is used to dispatch said mouse.

No, it won't kill, though it might stun if you hit it in the head, especially if it's a mouse.

It doesn't work. I purchased 3 & it did repel the spiders but not the mouse. I ended up buying a glue trap to get rid of it.

I have found the batteries to last about 6 -8 weeks with cheap batteries. It also depends on how many mice you kill at a time. I caught 20-30 mice I'm that first set of batteries. My second set has been in more than 2 months but less mice now. Maybe 5-10 mice this time. As far as cold weather I don't know yet. It hasn't gotten cold yet. Also the mice do stink if left in the tray for very long. Especially if it's warm weather. But in child weather I would think the opposite. I am very very happy with my trap. I am sure with high quality batteries You could get 5-6 months.

There is no blood. You can see two metal loops on the mouse trap, one has a yellow plastic sleeve (this is the one that catches the mice) and the other is bare metal (this is the one used to set the trap). After you've caught a mouse, hold the trap over a garbage can and push back on the bare metal piece and this will open the trap. The mouse drops into the garbage can - you never touch the mouse.

Honestly, I never kept mine long enough to even try... if you have mice problems, get a cat! That's the best advice I can offer because this thing is junk!

I had 1 for a small 1 story house. I did not trap any fleas...the light needed replaced after 4-5 days and the port that the bulb screwed into got very warm to hot. I felt a waste of money as it served as a nightlight. I did catch a mouse which prompted me to toss the whole unit.

Mine died too ... if your cat stops it it burns out the motor or maybe the gears... anyway my cat went through two of these in a week... she's a full grown cat but very playful and she loved this toy, but when she caught the mouse she wouldn't let it go... it needs a clutch to disengage the mouse when caught so it doesn't break the toy.

Nothing, That it how it works. Green light comes on, buzz sound is it charging. Once it is charged the light and buzz shut off. When it kills a mouse the green light will blink about every 5 secs for 24 hrs.

Just a helpful tip. Mice have poor vision and tend to stay by the walls. They are also smart and realize when something is out of place. Suggestion: leave the trap unset for several nights without bait until the mice get use to it. After a few days, set the trap with peanut butter. That way they won't be afraid of the trap. Also, be sure to set in perpendicular to the wall.

If the mouse dies inside the house, yes it certainly will turn odoriferous. However, it's more likely the critter will go outdoors to seek water after dining on your deadly delectibles

Hey Jim - I purchased the Victor M792 but it didn't do a thing to deter the mouse problem we had. I also tried the peppermint oil trick that people posted, but that was a farce too - the mice ate the cotton balls we put in the vents! So, I have nothing to advise apart from old fashioned traps.

If it kills mice and rats, I would assume it would kill these, providing you had the proper enticement to enter the box.

There are small air holes in the bottom of the trap door. They have plenty of air in there and it gets steamy in there during hot weather. Don't ever put trap in the sun.It will kill the mice forthwith.

Wind Up Mouse Traps traps work the best just for mice. it will trap more than one at a time.

Unfortunately we had a female field mouse that had pups in our house. I'd guess the pups are about 2-3 weeks old and are very small. You'll have no problems catching them with this trap! None have escaped mine yet. :)

They usually start to dwindle dramatically after about 24 hours. Depending on the size of the infestation, you could have that kind of activity for about a day and a half. But there will likely be stragglers for several days. KEep your traps down for at least a couple weeks.
