Does this door seem to be keeping mice out for you? I have a door already, but it's quite flimsy. I have realized that mice come in quite often.

We have not noticed any mice but that may be since we are in the Florida Keys and I have seen few mice.This model though does have a much heavier door than the normal one layer of vinyl. It took our dog a while to get used to the extra effort it takes to got through the double pane polycarbonate door. Hope this helps. Gene T.

The door I have is to heavy for a.mouse to push through. I think you may have really big mice where you live.

Have not had a problem at all and we did see a mouse in our back yard. There is a pretty good seal around the opening.

Interesting, super rodents? Try opening bag and sprinkling it at your door openings. I use it this way every two weeks and it keeps them away. I never left mine in the bag because I wanted it in a shaker but they only had bags. My friend uses peppermint in a spray bottle he made from essential oil, he sprays his door openings and swears by it.

From my understanding, this "vibrates" the wires inside the wall to work. It didn't bother any of our pets. If you have mice in the home already when you plug in, you will need to catch them. They won't go back into the walls.

Not sure. We live in an old house. I have seen a small mouse slip in and out of the bars. Rats maybe big enough to not do that.

Make sure it's placed correctly. My cats use the door and I constantly open and close the door to clean it. I am not careful or take good care of it, and so far everything about the door works fine. Is not supposed to get stuck at all. If you keep having problems return the item. It might be a damage.

I had very slight issues...but after closing and opening the door several times, it seem to have give a little; and now I don't have that problem anymore. It's just a bit tighter, but it closes all the way.

I keep one in the garage and we haven't had trouble with mice in our vette since. My dogs sleep in the garage and they act as if it isn't even there.

I purchased for the inside of a stored camper ( during the winter months only ) I also used "mouse proof " as an added form of protectant. Come spring time open up ( in New England ) the mice and chipmunks had lived in there . Neither worked. Sorry to disappoint you. You would think that an enclosed area would be an ideal situation for both items. I am champagnetom@yahoo.com

Along with food or some other tempting thing on the other side of the door, we also physically pushed our cats head into the door and literally shoved them through! Seems a little rough, but it eventually worked. One of our cats took to it right away and the other took longer. Keep at it and they'll figure it out. Another thing I've heard people have done is completely remove the door just to get them used to walking through it, then add the door unlocked, then after a while turn on the lock. Good luck!

Yes, probably would work for mice or rats, question is if mice are heavy enough to drop the doors, but I would venture to guess they would and the mesh wire is small enough to keep all but the most tiny in the trap.

There are small air holes in the bottom of the trap door. They have plenty of air in there and it gets steamy in there during hot weather. Don't ever put trap in the sun.It will kill the mice forthwith.

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.

I caught 2 at a time on a couple of occasions. Silly me, I thought we had "a" mouse in the house. Turns out I caught well over 20 over the course of 2 weeks.

Not well. It's basically wood chips in a pouch. If it stays dry it will be fine... I would try covering unit in hardware cloth - it comes in 1/4 inch squares and that should keep out mice.

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!

This trap works very well if you are up against just one mouse at a time. A nest of them in the house will result in the trap door being reopened giving the earlier captures a chance (but not always) to escape. Just be patient, they eventually slip up or set two traps at a time. It is worth it to see the look on their faces when you do catch them and they can see the look on yours through the clear door !!
