Would a mouse really step onto a sticky surface no matter how peanut infested?

Sometimes they do, but this last infestation I had, they were familiar with them and none of them were successful. The mice completely avoided them. They are pretty intelligent and can adapt.

Without a doubt. During my issues I caught more than 30 of them. They just have to land one foot on it and they are done. This only applies to the larger traps. I can't vouch for the smaller traps sold in bulk packs of 60.

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

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.

The mouse is not battery activated, so it wouldn't automatically work on the carpet. But my whole house has wall to wall carpet. What I do is jiggle the tail and the mouse squeaks like a real mouse, and the "kids" come running. For the price, I think you will be happy with this, I know my cats are.

We have had a mouse coming and going from our chicken coop but have not had any issues with it getting into the feeder. However if you placed the feeder near some chicken wire a mouse could probably climb in.

The plastic covers the bottom, and there's a piece of folded cardboard to help it stay flat. The holes in the plastic that the frame goes through are a little wider than the frame pole, and bugs could conceivably crawl through, but I don't think mice could.

My guess is that a large mouse would be able to access the device. As to the cat, its paw is safe - unless the paw is very long and inserted very far. Pretty safe for cat.

I put these out for spiders this past fall in the house and attic and for spiders and other bugs in the garage. You can smell the peanut butter smell when you are working with them when you first set them out. But I don't notice the smell when walking around them. And I have not attracted any mice thus far.

I would think it would not attract rodents, even though mice can get thru the smallest of holes (which go right down to the bottom of the unit). When I put food scraps into the bin, I put it at least 6 inches away from the edge, covering it well with leaves/brown material. If you are still worried, I suggest a screen around the lower half of the bin. That would keep the air flowing, but not sure the mice would get under the screen anyway. I tried a tarp (not for mice), but it got too dry. Looks like no one else is having mouse issues either. Good Luck.

The surface is partially cover with small holes. I don't know how well the mouse will do on that area. But you can use a small mouse pad. That will solve the problem.

Think spoon! The reason they work for mice usually is that they get all fours on the sticky part. Can't picture a snake curling up on one.

It could happen but most likely the mice would not get to where the dogs are. I have always haddogs in the house and it has not happened to me!

I don't know about mice, but yes on the others. There is a plastic lock on it for when you don't want it to be used. We had a very determined cat muscle through the lock.

I really don't know. They are prettry spiky and tough, but mice can get in anywhere.

No! We now have a smaller hamster and he is trying to squeeze through. I am certain that a mouse would be through in an instant!

Really don't know. Doesn't sound like a good idea. A good mouser cat should do the job.

I always saw the green light no buzz; the mouse never went inside cause the bait was never touch. I used Tomcat press n set mouse trap use peanut butter and a small piece of chocolate as bait. First night I placed it ta da death mouse. I left them to see if more critters would be caught. Some weeks went by then one night I saw the sneaky bastard running underneath furniture. Two weeks later ta da now my house is free of this critters. This darn critters are smart; you need patience and relocate traps if more than four weeks go by without any luck.
