DEPENDS ON BIONARE'S RESPONSE
588622
I PURCHASED THIS CAT LITTER BOX AFTER READING THE REVIEWS. DECIDED THAT THE NEGATIVES WERE RATHER SLIGHT AND I WOULD TRY IT ,BECAUSE BIONARE IS A REPUTABLE COMPANY. OVERALL I WAS SATISFIED,BECUASE FOR STARTERS I CLEAN OUT MY LITTER BOX TWICE A DAY.ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS WAS THAT THE MOTOR QUIT WORKING SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, WELL YOU WOULD KNOW I CHANGED MY FILTERS PROPERLY AND THE MOTOR NO LONGER WORKS. I AM GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT BIONARE'S RESPONSE IS BEFORE I SUGGEST A FINAL OPINION.

These work but the attractant shouldn't be a selling point.  It took a few weeks for me to catch anything.  Also be careful when sticking to your floor, sometimes it's too sticky and may take up the floor depending on what you have, or leave a residue.

Fantastic bio-break-down. Unfortunately, my picky Shih-Poo will not eat it. HOWEVER, I am so impressed with the ingredients that I am considering it for occupancy in my emergency supply kit. Hell, I would eat it.

This model works after we tried over six products. ... Just that now I have to take care of the mess afterward ... already the third day because we didn't know that the rat ran and hid after getting hurt. (U'd better check around when u see a trap has been triggered.)

So, this cage is big. I bought this one because I saw one of the rats in my house and he was huge. And I have caught three rats with it, so it definitely works. The thing is, unless the rats in your house are really big, they might not activate this trap. Sometimes I wake up and the peanut butter has been eaten but the trap has not activated. Obviously I can't fault the company for that and they do make a smaller cage for mice, etc.

This trap worked for us on the second day we set them out.  On the first day, we did have a closed trap with no mouse (maybe knocked closed?)  But, on the second day, we got him.  He was caught during the night, because I'd checked the trap the night before and it was empty.  We found him in the morning, but he was already dead.  I'm not sure why - panic?  Lack of air?  Maybe he was already sickly?  His fur looked drenched all over, so he might have been sweating.  Poor guy.  (I even say that after he'd made a nice cozy home in my box of fabric scraps...!)
We also had trouble knowing if we'd got a mouse until we opened it.  I recommend opening it with gloves on in case of biting.
This trap definitely catches mice, but what's worse?  Death from being crushed or dying of fright?  But, our mouse had probably been inside for most of the winter and may have already been starving or dehydrated.  I agree that it would be a good idea for them to make it out of clear plastic in the future.

I initially received a product with a damaged hinge, making the entrance door unusable. I contacted the company and they replied in less than 24 hours promising to send me a new one. The new one arrived undamaged.

The trap is easy to set and figure out... but the mice I'm trying to catch are just too small, unfortunately. I don't think it's a flaw with the trap, because I've experimented with the amount of pressure required to set the trap off, and it truly, truly doesn't take much. (My mice are just so little. I suspect they're youngin's who made their way in from the barn or the field during the last storm week, honestly. My dog is very quick to let me know when there are intruders of the rodent variety.) So, while customer service was helpful, and while the trap is easy to use, if you know your mice are very small, you may struggle to catch them with this trap.

I'm experimenting with bait and placement to try and see if I can finagle the mice into being more forceful, but I've also put in an order for the havaheart trap, because I've heard it has a hairpin trigger. So far my only success has been sticking bread with peanut butter to the roof of this trap itself - but I don't know if that's because they had to be more active to get it.... or because two of them went in at once.

I'll update my review if I find a workaround to the trap triggering, or if the havaheart works better for tiny mice.

Zapper was delivered a week ago.  I baited but did not turn on for two days and observed all the bait being eaten and a surplus of little poopies on the deck.  I turned on the Zapper on the third afternoon because I was going out until possibly after dark.  I actually got home early, the sun had not yet set, and found my first zapped rat residing in the trap.  I re-baited got a second one that night.  All together over a week I caught five rats and one mouse.  Now, for the last several days, none of the bait has been taken; there are no poopy signs of rodents. I 'm optimistic that I've wiped out the colony.  Doesn't matter though.  If they show up again, out comes the Zapper.  Well worth every nickel I spent.

Ok, under my original review, I gave this product 1 star because the mouse that I visually saw stuck to the trap got out and ran away.  Since then, I've gotten 3 mice since.  I will admit the product is sticky and I originally thought it wasn't sticky enough.  The truth of the matter is, it depends on how the mouse "steps" onto the trap and how he reacts afterwards.

The 1st mouse only got 2 legs on the trap but got free and ran away.  The other 3 mice however, seem to have panicked and during their escape, ended up walking further onto the glue trap.  Thus effectively trapping themselves onto the glue.  So out of the 4 mice so far, only 1 got away.  So 75% success rate is the reason I updated my review.


Well. It works... Kinda. Caught a mouse while I was laying some traps out. I went to grab a bucket so I could figure out what to do with it.  2 legs were caught. Came back with a bucket and he was gone.

The trap was GREAT initially ---- I caught several moles right off the bat........but over time the "trigger" took more and more pressure to trip the trap.  I could set the trap on a leveled active run and come back and find that they run was completely pushed up again but the trap was not triggered.

Idk, because they aren't coming to it. Glue traps work better for me. Idk if this works or not.

Cell biology techniques have been continuously upgraded since the middle of this century, and future developments seem assured. In the 1990s, alone, new developments have led to improved separations capability, detection instrumentation, and new formulations of serum-free media. Any research institution with faculty and students engaged in cell biology will want to have the most current laboratory guidelines available, and this four-volume, peer-reviewed collection of protocols answers that need. The second edition has benefited from suggestions from practicing scientists, filling in gaps from the first edition.
Perhaps the greatest value of this work is its comprehensiveness. Laboratories and libraries can have detailed guidelines for cell culture, separation, staining, growth, apoptosis, preparation of component parts, assays, antibody production, genetic engineering, microscopy, electrophoresis, and more, all in one source. Need to know how to produce transgenic mice? It's here. How to grow viruses? Prepare nuclei? Stain mitochondria? Use fluorecence microscopy? All here.
Although there are 486 contributors to the 250 articles, uniform structure of articles builds continuity and thus ease of use. Most entries adhere to the five-part template (Introduction, Materials and Instrumentation, Procedures, Comments, and Pitfalls). This last section, "Pitfalls," seems especially valuable, as there is no substitute for experience. The main difference between articles tends to be the use of supportive graphs, photos, and tables, though in general (if such a diverse collection can be spoken of "in general") visuals are at a minimum.

Another good option. My experience with traps is that options and variation matter. If I try one trap and it doesn't seem to work well, I use another. This is a good addition to my arsenal (we live next to large field and it is just a matter of life).

This album causes my brain to release serotonin and dopamine which, as a human, I experience as pleasure. I have given up on trying to figure out why some do and some don't. It must release a lot, however, as I have given it 5 stars.

The authors intended this book for students and professionals.  I don't fall into either group but I enjoyed it and learned from it, so I'm reviewing it for other similarly inclined non-scientists.

Cell-to-cell communication is of supreme importance to multicellular organisms and so it is of interest from many points of view.  For example, I am very interested in its role in evolutionary developmental biology.  Other people will be more interested in hormones, nerve signaling, et al.  Signal Transduction is that part of communication that happens inside the cell, between the signal and the DNA.  Thus it doesn't include neurotransmitters which activate ion channels in the membrane, nor does it include steroids, which pass through the membrane and into the nucleus.  Nevertheless, it covers most cell communication.  In particular, there is a lot of material on G-protein-coupled receptors, which make up a majority of the receptors, and tyrosine kinase receptors, which are also plentiful.

As the authors describe it, chapters 1-9 are on the "nuts and bolts" of transduction.  This includes a very brief introduction to intercellular signaling molecules (such as hormones and neurotransmitters) and receptors, followed by some details about the internals, including calcium ions and phosphate exchange.  In the second part, "attention is concentrated on transduction processes set in action by growth factors and adhesion molecules".  There is also a short section on insulin.  This part fills in the chains from the receptors to the DNA and describes the processes which regulate the chains and switch them off after they've done their jobs.

The choice of emphasis in the second part allows the authors to spend some time on cancer.  Failure in the growth factor pathways can cause cells to proliferate out of control; failure in cell adhesion can result in metastasis.  Accordingly, there are sections on the cell cycle, the transformations of cancer cells, and apoptosis.

(For more details, click above on "See all Editorial Reviews".)

I said that I am not a scientist, but that doesn't mean that Signal Transduction is a book for beginners.  The reader must have some experience with molecular biology diagrams in which symbols stand for molecules that are interacting with each other.  Some biochemistry is required, though not a lot.  The reader will need to know what amino acids, lipids, and nucleotides are.  If you're unsure if this is the level for you, it might help you to click on my name above and read the "In My Own Words" part of my profile and to click on "Read all my reviews" to get some idea of what I've been reading.  Signal Transduction isn't the most advanced book that I've read, but it's more advanced than most.

The book jacket calls this book a "text reference" and a "valuable resource".  That is the right way to see it; I have already used it to help me understand some articles on the Internet.  But I also recommend that you read the book at least once all the way through, both to get the lay of the land and to enjoy this fine book.

I mentioned that cell signaling is very important in evolutionary developmental biology ("Evo-Devo").  For any reader interested in that subject, I highly recommend Sean Carroll's From DNA to Diversity.  If you are interested in evolution, note in Signal Transduction how enormous complexity comes about through duplication and modification of genes; indeed, whole transduction chains can be regarded as modules that are duplicated with modification.

If you want to know more about what happens at the other end of the chain, at the DNA, I recommend Molecular Biology of the Gene by Watson, et al.  If you want to know more about cancer, there is an excellent elementary book, Molecular Biology of Cancer, by Lauren Pecorino; this book helped prepare me for Signal Transduction.

The parts that are supposed to plug into each other don't plug into each other because they didn't fit. It wasn't even a problem of plugging it into the wall- the parts that came together didn't fit each other. It works though. I'm not sure if it killed my fish. I still don't think those things can have seizures.

I startEd using this product today, I can't tell about the results yet, the only thing that Worried me was a white dry powder around the collar. By the time that I was adjusting the collar most of the powder fell off, so I called customer service an they told me that the powder is to protect the pheromones when they packed the product, the collar contains the pheromones it self and the powder isn't harmful at all... So we'll see how my little furry pet reacts to this product!
