Failed to capture mouse. Victors ez trap works fast! All I caught was hair from a mouse... Works great for insects.

Our mice didn't play nice and didn't want to be caught and released! Gave this a try for a week or two. We ended up having to use the less humane mouse traps. Mouse was gone in 2 days.

The M140S3 pack I bought does not function well. They trip from the weight of the spring on the small plastic tang under the trap. Happy mice though as they get to eat the bait. I tried adjusting the trip by using a small piece of paper behind the hinge and that helps but still just happy mice. I didn't buy these to have to re-engineer them to make them work. So they are headed to the landfill without a kill. Mice win this round.

Have had 4 placed around the house and no mouse.  Went old school last night and used a regular mouse trap and got two mice on first day.  The humane ones are nice, but ineffective.

You're buying this trap because you don't want to actually kill the mice, right?  You're planning on relocating them, right?  How long do you think a mouse suffers if it's killed by a traditional trap?  There are exceptions, but I figure it's generally a pretty fast end.

So, let's talk about this humane trap.  You bait it with peanut butter or whatever and the first day it's empty.  You check it the next day, it's still empty.  You get busy and forget the third and fourth days.  Meanwhile, 2, 3...18 mice have crammed their way into the trap.  They have consumed all the peanut butter.  They are dehydrating and starving to death.  They are thinking the tail of the mouse next to them is starting to look pretty good.  You get the idea...it is a hideous thing to find by Day 6.

Don't Forget. To Check. Daily....

It is very effective and it is humane, BUT You MUST check it daily or you are truly a horrible human being...that's what I told myself anyway...

Although this is a great idea and fun looking trap, twice the mouse has taken the bait without the door shutting it in. Please note, we may just be dealing with an exceptionally intelligent animal. I think I saw it reading a book last week.

either the mouse i had was just too smart, or these things don't work.  maybe my mouse didn't like the crackers and peanut butter i used?  i don't know.  the only thing these drew in were lots of ants.  the mouse is gone, but it's not because of these traps.  =  traps still set up for future mice... or come summer when the ants come out again... hopefully you'll have better luck.  will update if i ever catch a mouse with one.

Well there are mouse turds all around the trap but no mice inside.  Placed a glob of peanut butter on the inside.  I will have to look for a trap with a different mechanism.

These traps are a good complement to the old Victor 040 traps with the metal triggers. By putting bait into the
bait cup and setting the yellow trigger so that the rod just BARELY engages the lip, you will catch mice that the
old style traps will miss because the mouse has to rest his paws on the bait pan to get at the bait. Smart mice will
lick off the bait on the old style pans. This yellow style trap also is great unbaited and place perpendicular to
a wall. The mice step on the pan (remember! SENSITIVELY SET!!) and get nailed. I use both old and new style victor
traps. They each have their time and place.

Bought at ACE Hardware, and it doesn't work, caught one mouse only.
Don't buy any traps made of metal because mice just don't like to go inside those no matter how much peanut butter you put.
I caught one mouse in a few months but saw  them just running around it.

These are poorly designed. The yellow trigger area is so large that a mouse can bump the outside edge with it's nose and trigger the trap. Instead of snapping on the mouse's head, the trap just grazes it's nose. Found 4 or 5 traps triggered with no mouse but all of the bait gone.

The original design of these style traps with the very small metal trigger area never fail. Have sent 8 mice into the beyond with those style traps.

Has not caught one mouse after weeks of trying. If you really want to get rid of mice you have to think of either snap traps or poison....or get used to having them as roommates.

I bought these had them out for almost a month and they didn't work. I went old school and got the traps that smashes them. I caught the mouse in one night with the cheap $2 trap from homedepo. Don't waste ur money on these

I watched a mouse run right over this!  Had to buy regular snap traps.

I had bought one of these in a local store and quickly realized that there had  to be a better way . I couldn't let go of the mice that was stuck on the trap, it looked so sad and I knew it was suffering. I did the humane thing and used olive oil to release it now and slowly. Some other insects were also there but I killed them using the most humane method I knew off at that time, they don't deserve to suffer. Don't let misconception lead to "false" judgements. Thankfully companies like these are making more humane methods, invest in those instead!

I really liked the concept of this trap. It seemed like it was going to take care of our mouse problem quickly, efficiently, and most importantly to me, humanely. The first night we set these out, we caught two mice. So while they indeed caught and held mice, they missed out on my most important feature, being humane. One mouse was caught by the head and was killed without too much trouble, but the same could not be said for the other poor soul. After hearing something thumping around for an hour, I went to check the traps. I found the poor mouse caught by its head, clearly breathing, flailing and squealing. I ended up having to drown the poor thing to put it out of its misery. Looks like I will be looking for a new trap.

I have the peanut butter scented version of these traps. The one single time I was able to catch a mouse with these traps, he pulled his tail and one leg off while trying to get free. It was a mess of blood and fur on the kitchen floor. I'm sure he would have escaped if I hadn't heard him dragging the glue board across the floor. I have found these traps with fur stuck on them, even some that the mice have eaten the corners! I have used them flat and folded, baited and empty. They just don't work for me except for the occasional insect that gets stuck. The mice seem to figure out what they are and learn to avoid them. I set up a spring trap in the same spot where I had a glue board for two weeks and I had a dead mouse in two hours.
