does this thing kill the mice with some kind of poison in the glue or do they just starve to death?

The mouse gets caught on the glue trap and they can't move. There is no poison. Yes, they starve to death if you don't find it and kill them first.

You can take the mouse outside and release him by pouring cooking oil on the mouse's feet that are stuck. The oil neutralizes the glue. I've done it twice, works great.

The trap holds them with 100% effectiveness. You can choose either to let the mouse starve, or pick the trap up and kill the mouse using other methods, these are great for mice because of their size, the mouse stays glued in place, you can pick the trap up by the farthest corner from the mouse and not worry about touching the mouse or getting bit. I have an old pair of sharp scissors I simply decapitate the mouse with while on the trap (I know sounds nasty, but is actually quite quick), then I leave the trap....I have caught as many as three mice on one trap.

It's glue, not food. It doesn't have an expiration date. I've had mine almost a year, its still perfectly fine :)

It kills them when you first spray. I am not sure about repelling them, for several months I do not have spiders or their webs in windows where I have sprayed and do not see any dead spiders, so maybe it is repelling them.

It works fantastically on the majority of common household ants. However, depending on geographical locale, there are some specialty variety ants which require very specific remedies. I mix two different baits. One uses peanut butter the other jelly or jam. About 1teaspoon boric acid to two tablespoons of either mixture. Mouse ants are drawn to either protein based (pb) or sugar based (jelly/jam) foods. Mouthing both out covers your bases. Explorer ants find the goodies and carry them back to the nest where other ants and larvae are red and poisoned by them. Other ants follow the explorers' trails and repeat the process. Before long, no more ants. You may have to pay with the proportions. Too much boric acid and the explorers die before they reach the nest or do not touch it to begin with. Too little acid and all we do is give our house visitors a really good free treat. Of course the baits must be kept out of reach of children and pets. Good hunting!

I purchase these glue boards all the time. My opinion they do best for insects, however, we have caught many mice with them. We have had mice get away before. Remember laughing that there must be a bald mouse running around from the hair on the trap! Several things could cause the escape of the mouse. 1. Temperature (cold causes the glue to get hard) 2. Excessive dust on the glue 3. Large mouse or rat (could need the kind that has extra glue) other than that I don't know. Hope one of these help.

Can't answer your first question, but the bait has a hole in it that a pin fixed to the box passes through. Bait only leaves the station in the rodent's mouth or stomach...

It doesn't drive them out. It kills them when they eat it. However, they die close to the bait if that is any help. We used them in our greenhouses and around the outside to keep them out of the seed crops.

Yes, this product will kill Rats and Mice (and anything that eats them). I've used it both in a commercial application and also at home. The rodents eat a small hole in the bags, then proceed to eat the entire contents, so sometimes it might look like they haven't touched the bag, but they might have. We had a large infestation and after putting this out, there were a lot of dead mice/rats, then about 1 1/2 week later, put out a second application, and now no site of any vermin. Well worth it.

The chemical that kills the ticks is in such a low dose that it does not effect the mice. It is like putting a tick preventative on your dog or cat that goes outside -it kills the ticks, but does not harm the host.Your strays will be fine. Hope this helps.Shawn

While the dead rodents I've examined appear to be dehydrated, I have not conducted an official necropsy so I can't be sure. But to be sure, it does exterminate them effectively.

The product does not "dry them out", but in my five-year experience in using it, I have only found one dried-up corpse in a shed attached to the house. All the other doomed rodents have had the good manners to go somewhere else to die, at least I have not found or smelled them.

The Mouse Magic package mentions its effective against rats and mice due to their dislike of the natural ingredients, it repels, not kills them. I think the only way you can rid your property of squirrels is to cut off their food supply - nuts.

These glue traps are really strong but the death would NOT be humane. They stick to it and lay there until they die. It's my last resort. I use the Tom Cat poison baits. They die quickly but you do have to remove the bodies. They sort of dry as they die but it's still nasty business.

There is a small strip of material on the bottom that could be considered glue. It holds the trap in place to prevent it being carried away by a really big spider. Peel off the protective cover before you put the trap where you want it. There is another covered patch in what becomes the inside of the trap. This is the toxic material. I peel off the covering on the toxic material, carefully fold and connect the top of the trap. Then peel the covering off the bottom and stick it in place. Although I rarely see a spider, I continue to trap quite a few, along with other varieties of creepy crawly things.

No, it is just a strong glue trap, but it works for us. I have to change them about every week or two from all the spiders that they are catching. FYI if you catch something you do not want to trap (like a pet) pour cooking oil on it and it will release the glue. I've had to do this with a few snakes.
