Can the trap kill more than one animal in one evening? In orher words, might I find more than one mouse inthe morning?

No, because the trap must be emptied and reset after each kill. Also cleaned from time to time. Still a better design than a snap trap in my opinion. The rats are so smart you might consider Victor's advice to move the trap around often.

I don't think so...once one mouse is killed, the light starts blinking, making me think the plates are no longer being charged.

Thank you for your question. Victor makes a smaller trap for mice. I have used this trap for chipmunks and ground squirrels (no rats up here). I have used both mouse and rat traps in the past, but have never had two animals at the same time. However, depending on your infestation, you may find yourself emptying it multiple times in one day.

The trap must be reset after it goes off however I have found two mice in it at once. I think however they went in together.

it depends on how many moths are in the trap. Change it when there are a lot.

Good question on your part. I did not ask myself that before I bought the two door trap. Truthfully trying to set the trap with both doors open I found to be very frustrating. I have only trapped one squirrel so far and did that with just one door open. If I was to purchase this item again, I would just get the one door.

Yes, there were 4 traps that arrived in one package. Once I opened the packaging there were 4 traps in there, although it didn't initially seem there were going to be 4 in the little package.I do want to tell you I have caught 8 loose gerbils with them (don't ask) but two of them died because I think they were in the traps too long. So I want to stress that the traps need to be checked frequently if you want a live rodent. Good luck.

Yes. I've caught two at a time before. Winter of 2012 I caught 14 mice and one Dachshund (twice).I put them across the threshold of doorways. I don't think the peanut smell does anything. They'll run across scentless glue boards to.

Not sure I see much improvement. I ordered 4 units for 3500 house. My major problem is squirrels on the attic. 2 units are placed on the attic, 2 around the house. I do not see mice in the house, but it was not a problem before. I have cat in the house, he used to catch may be 1-2 mice per year I still have ordinary mouse traps on the attic and it would catch 1-2 per month in winter. With those devices - my "mice crop" is definitely reduced, but they are still here :-) But it seems have no effect on squirrels on the attic - I still hear them almost every day.

It says it's ultimately effective only in the room it's in, so inherently you'd need more than one to cover a house. However, the mice in my house seem to completely ignore it.

I escaped. I left it stuck in morning. Thinking I Will take care of it in the evening. All small have been caught. If one escapes.. I Change the glue trap..it is caught next day.

I have two of these traps and where I live in Sherman Oaks Calif we have what is called tree rats and they are not real large. I found a piece of bacon is good bait I piece in the back of the trap so the rat has to enter and it is trapped inside. I put a piece of bacon on the outsid as chum. I catch about three rats a week.

The nice thing about this kind of mouse trap is that you'll definitely hear when it snaps and traps the mouse. Usually mice search for food at night, so set it up in the kitchen next to the wall.Put a little bit of peanut butter inside the special place in the mouse trap. Since many mice might have lice or carry some decease I would not recommend touching it at allafter it gets caught. Use a broomstick and push the trap with the dead mouse inside a plastic bag and throw it out immediately outside in the garbage can. In 16 years in the place where I live I caught 2 mice using traps like this and there were no blood or big mess in my case.

Mice probably wouldn't set off this trap, but if you have a lot of rats, you don't even need to bait them. Just set several traps up where the rats travel and you will be amazed at how many you will catch...I know I was!

On the first night I had these I caught 4 more ON THE ORIGINAL BAIT. Same trap. A dab of peanut butter ...I haven't had to change the bait or add more peanut butter and the mouse count is now five on the same trap.

The traps are just big enough for 2 field mice;however once 1 has been trapped it's not likely another will attempt to go in for the food. These traps work extremely well , and fast. Put a little bit of peanut butter on a small piece of a cracker, place it inside the trap. Then smear just a hint of the peanut butter on the outside of the door. I suggest you purchase several traps and spread them out...check them often!! Empty the trap w/each catch...then put them back again for more. (make sure there is still bait.) I caught 4 mice in as many traps w/in 1 hour of setting them up..as soon as the lights went out.

I catch a lot of packrats with this trap. No bait needed. Definitely too big for mice but it will (unfortunately) trap some rabbits and golden-mantled ground squirrels (chipmunk size).

Four traps. It works well, one time I caught two at the same time. And when you let the mice go you will be amazed how fast they run!

I have only killed mice in mine. Rats may be too smart for it, not sure. Only one at a time though - they are too smart to go in it when a dead one is in there.

Get traps or a cat, it does not work saw a mouse within 1 day. Very disappointed. The smell alone will make you run out of the location.
