Will this work with live mice instead of treats?(I have a couple of really rambunctious Savannahs.)

I think it would, until the mice find there way out. They may stay in long enough to try to hide as there are lots of places for the mice to hide. It is essentially a cardboard box with holes outside and more cardboard inside to block easy access to paws reaching in easily. it is rather light weigh so it may get tossed around.

I do not have a rat issue. My problem is with field mice in the winter. The device has had limited success with the mice so my thought would be that it would not work with rats. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

I use this for deer mice in northeastern Nevada, if the vole is like anything like mice it should work. I did have to break open the packets I put out, but they ate it all.

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.

I don't know. I used dogfood as recommended by manufacturer and spread it around the trap and on the very entrance of the trap. I thought it helped, but still the old fashioned rat trap with peanut butter was a better performer. I was focused on chipmunks, not rats.

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

Find out where they are living and lay down a bunch of glue traps will help and that unit you bought is bogus , just caught a couple mice on glue traps, gets them everytime .

I can't say yes or no. I was having a rabbit and ground hog problem, and for those animals it did work. Unfortunately, I soon ran into a problem with a "herd" or field mice that decided to ravage my garden. I can't say one or or another if the product attracted the mice, but who knows for sure.

I would imagine so. It seems small but I had 5 mice caught in it one time and let them go in a nearby (not too nearby!) park. The only problem I had was getting them to come out! I used dog food in mine because I realized that I had mice when I found the bottom drawer of a kitchen junk drawer filled with dog food pellets.

I use it for mice all the time, works great. They usually spend the night in the trap, eat all the bait, usually ricotta, canned cat food, or any other bait that will easily "stick" to the trigger. I'm not sure if it would be big enough for a "large" chipmunk, but for smaller ones, I think it would work OK. If your Chips are on the larger side, Havahart makes a larger version that would probably work for either mice, or chipmunks. I highly recommend Havahart traps. They're a little tricky to arm till you get the hang of it, but it doesn't take long, and after that, your mouse problem is simply a matter of time. I use it for mice all the time, works great.

We use it for mice. It seems to work for that. It has various settings for other animals. The only thing you can do is try it. Experimenting with the adjustments may help. Nothing is 100%

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 read on one web site that there was talk of banning the ingredient that kills the mice and rats because owls and other birds of prey were catching the rats and mice and it was killing the birds of prey. So if you think that your dogs might eat the mice it would depend on how big your dogs are and how many that they eat. The same would be true with just about any mouse or rat bait some of the bait uses warfarin which is prescribed to people with blood clots and heart patients to thin their blood it is just a regulated dosage. So to be on the safe side you might want to use some traps or glue boards. My main use for this is as a mole poison it seems to work pretty good.

This trap will only catch 1 mouse or chipmunk at a time. If you have a mouse infestation, a water bucket trap may work better (although heartless).

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!
