How is this different than the other sticky traps? I put two of those down and the mice are avoiding them. How would this be any different?

As far as I know, it isn't any different from other glue traps. Maybe you can try a different strategy of where to place the traps, such as along the walls, or anywhere you see droppings.

Mice are curious. Make sure your hands have no odors such as nicotine. Best to use gloves. Add peanut butter or maybe gum drops. They are perforated and I bend up one side to make sure glue is up against wall.

I have used these for years. All service people comment on how I have no spider webs in my cellar, and I can't say every mouse steps on one, but I do catch mice. I do not fold them. I just lay them flat, sometimes tape them to the walls. I have no complaints except that the last batch I ordered was much smaller in size than what I used to get....

These have glue on the entire interior. Place them along base boards mice will travel perimeter of rooms.

We've used hundreds and yea they will avoid the until you add a dollop of Peanut Butter, Candy or Banana they all work I swear by these as they be the most sticky product,,,tried a few others and they get away. Happy Hunting

As the Maintenance Manager for my company's Office and warehouse I have used these glue traps, but have not caught any mice in them... mainly bugs and spiders. I did catch a bird in the trap recently!

I bought 5 and all were perfect. I would suggest to take the batteries out and reinstall and see if that fixes it. If not contact Victor. Sorry I couldn't help more. We put 5 traps on 3 floors and took care of all the mice in 24 hours.

I haven't had success with the trap myself. The rabbit has actually taken the bait without tripping the mechanism. Try putting some petroleum jelly on the bars so there is no friction. It can't hurt and might work.

Smart Mouse? Iv'e never had mice escape B4! The only thing I can suggest is to check traps more often so they won't have as long to figure out an escape plan.

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.

actually, I have caught more insects and no mice on these sticky traps. Either they've gotten wise to my tactics or they just are smarter than I am. I have better luck with the bait stations provide by pest control company

Katrina,There are two traps. You willremove the smaller from the larger and use separately. Jim

Mine were not sticky enough flat, I did have better luck with the traps folded into tubes. But finally went to the nuclear option with rodenticide laced bait at my camp search 1412718573. At home I prefer the cat option (I think the cat smell deters the brighter critters).

If you go on youtube you can find ways to set these traps outside. You have to put them in a large plastic container and cut a hole in it so the rodent can get in, remember these traps are not water proof but they do work outside if you protect them from moisture.

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.

When you open it the mice will jump out. I take it to a field about 2 miles from my place and then open it holding the top and side, tipping it away from the side I'm holding. The mice jump out and no one has ever touched me, but they get to live. This is easy to do. This is the goal in a live mouse trap.

It is real sensitive to a line the three metal rods and balance the food tray. Do so where you want the trap to sit. It is so sensitive, you can not set it and carry it to where you want to put it. I have two of them and they both have caught mice.

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 put some out in our unheated garage and so far they are still sticky. Haven't seen mice but caught several bugs. LOL

I have been using Havoc for years....with complete success.....I have found very few left over critters in the house......I had an issue in my 2 bay garage....after I baited the garage area and the sill of the house inside, I have not had a mouse in the house for years......they generally seek water.....and leave.....I would say bait the attic, but also bait the sill of your house in the basement. they can move around quickly....replace the bait, once a year.

Either the trap is dirty or the batteries are dead or dying (or not properly inserted). Try cleaning according to the owner's manual and/or changing batteries. Good luck.

First off you should use a bait station so your pets/children have no direct access to the poison. The other thing to be worried about is your pet catching and eating the mouse before it succumbs to the poison. This can be easier for them to do because the poison has slowed the mouse down. Hope this helps.
