Will it trap mice? I am worried it is strong enough to catch a mouse in addition to bugs.

It certainly is powerful enough for a field mouse to be caught by one of these but from my experience, they were able to move with the trap using their long tail. The trap is capable to slow down the mouse (it cannot run away)'so that you can capture it.

this will get mice, to avoid this put the trap in side a box with holes a bug can get in but a mouse can not. the spiders will love entering your box and then get in here, but the mice will move around the box. keep in mind a mouse can get in any area his skull will fit in, dont make the holes too big.

I don't know if they will catch mice. I'm thinking they might be able to on small mice. You can buy something very similar that are for mice that work pretty good. I've used them in my garage. And they also catch bugs. You can get them with, or without a drug in the sticky stuff for the mice.

While they are certainly large enough to catch a mouse, the adhesive used to trap the spiders would probably not be strong enough to hold a mouse. They do work great fro spiders and any other crawling insect that finds its way into it. I'm very pleased with them and caught several spiders. If you want a trap for mice, there is a product called Tomcat. Its a plastic pad with an extremely sticky substance that traps mice. I've used them with great success and they have a rat size as well.

Will for sure catch mice...olive oil does work great to remove stick residue from anything...my cat found one & I used oil to remove it from her tail. I have used them for years & have found if I place them against the baseboard near a nite light they work even better! Hobo's are rather blind & they are attracted by the light. I have caught millions!! of spiders !!

Probably. I've caught snakes and lizards in it. If you catch something you want to set free pour cooking or olive oil over it ( I use used oil) and it will release the glue. It ruins the trap but frees whatever. I've done this with a few snakes I wanted to keep around for pest control.

I don't know if it is designed to deter larger animals. The only animals we have had trouble with is mice, for which this device is excellent.

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).

It should. I don't have mice so I don't know first hand, but I can't imagine how they would get in.

Ive had mice before and I personally wouldn't use this item for mice. yes they might get out.

It catches anything that comes near to it. I do not have a blueberry maggot problem so I don't really know. It works like the old sticky fly traps.

Think moles aer too small for this trap to be effective. It may work but I have not tried it as I use regular mouse traps for moles.

I honestly don't know but it must really work on the mice as I haven't had any signs of mice since I started using them. I'm sure the company who makes them would be glad to answer your question. I wrote to them with a question about one of the electronic traps I bought through Amazon and they responded promptly. They seemed happy to answer my question and I have had nothing but good luck from both the chasers and the electronic traps I bought. Haven't seen any signs since I began using both products. Mel

Definitely. I would suggest buying glue traps and attaching them inside a long box. So much cheaper and just as effective. I think mine worked because a mouse got trapped first and the snake went in after it. May seem cruel but live bait will attract Mr. Creepy a lot faster!

In my experience it did not work as I liked. I would imagine if you caught stink bugs it would cause more of an issue as they would most likely get smashed as they are caught causing them to stink. I was mainly using mine for small gnat sized bugs when I had it before I returned the unit.

Have caught mice and lizards...very difficult to free the lizards so it would easily hold small snakes...I expect multiple sheets in some sort of box/trap would hold medium snakes and plan to try. E.TN

NO, I think it is for groundhogs specifically and it worked beautifully on my two properties. Look at this companies other products to deter rats. Personally I think you must contact a reputable rodent specialist. You have got to be aggressive and use the best traps and bait. Good luck and get this handled as soon as possible. They can breed out of control an destroy wiring and spread disease. Yucko.

As tough as this screening is I think a mouse could still gnaw through it. I'd use a piece of metal screening to keep out mice.

No you do use traps or need them. It repels mice. I used it for 3 yrs. And have not any mice. I swear by this product.

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

No, I don't believe it would. It does detect birds in nearby trees, but not in farther trees blocked only by leaves. It would probably detect a mouse within about 20 ft., but not farther than that.....larger mammals it will detect farther than that.

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.
