Perfect catch rate for my mice.
589122
Perfect catch rate. I recently had some mice in my house and shed, so I brought these out again. I used them last summer to remove mice as well.
So far, I've caught 5 in these traps. Every time I've seen signs of a mouse, there's also been one in the box!

One trick I learned the first time around, maybe because it wasn't in the most stable position, is to put something heavy on/next to it to make sure they don't somehow make it move and fall over.  I decided to review because I'm about to find more.

It seems like they're able to last in it at least overnight / while I was at work. And for removing them, I put the cube in a tupperware just in case, then drove about a mile away and let it go in the woods. I used one of those hand grabber things to make sure I wasn't anywhere close when it was getting out.

I'm completely dumbfounded by the amount of mice I've caught with this thing. The first night I caught three, the second I caught two, the third night three more, and so on. I've been using it under my kitchen sink where I had found droppings and expected to catch maybe six mice, but not this many. The trap didn't come with instructions and I fumbled with it a little thinking I needed to set the trap in some way. Nope. It's as simple as opening the lid, putting some bait in, closing the lid and placing the trap. It's designed so that the weight of the mouse allows entry through an uneven lever, but when the mouse steps off it, that same lever acts as a door shutting off the entry. I've been using a dab of peanut butter and a teaspoon of oatmeal as bait. Make sure to release the mice far from your property because you'll end up wondering if you're catching the same mice over and over again!

These traps work like a charm!  Just follow the directions -- bait with peanut butter on a small cracker, and be sure to place them where you have seen a mouse.  No mess, no harm to the mouse, and the traps are reusable.  Couldn't ask for a better product.

There is no perfect mouse trap, but this one is close. Put the bait in the holding area (I used almond or peanut butter), wind it up and wait.

I did not have a mouse in my basement for the last 10 years until this season. I heard some rustling, and thought, "Uh Oh!", so I set the standard spring mouse trap. I went to check on the trap the next morning, and it was gone! I thought like in the movie Jaws that "I was going to need a bigger trap", so I ordered three of these.

I also ordered the glue traps (I figured an all-out assault was necessary), but only this trap worked. Of the 3 traps I set, only one of the traps caught all the mice (3 small ones). This trap was located by the furnace (they must have liked the warmth. I subsequently took the trap outside and dumped them in the garbage for the trash man the next day. They were still alive, so I figured that they would survive at the garbage dump.

I caught over 10 mice with this trap.  Unfortunately I only bought 1 so I didn't catch them all and it took too long but I baited it with Jarlsberg cheese and almond butter and caught several big ones.  For the smaller ones I did have to rig the trap with quarters and nickels so it was more sensitive.  But I literally caught the mice within 2 hours of putting the trap down.  I never had the issue of a mouse chewing the locking mechanism but I usually released the nice within a few minutes to a few hours after catching them.  I just placed it in plain view where I saw the mice most often after my kids went to sleep and listened for the trap to close, then released them.  If for some reason I couldn't release them right away, I just put more snacks for them to nibble on in the trap and they were ok until morning.  Great trap but I suggest getting like 4 or more and check them very often.

This is the second review I have shared about the Victor electronic mouse trap since I first purchased and used them a couple of years ago. I ordered from Amazon and although the model was black it looks the same as the newer, light colored model currently sold.

In any event I am motivated to write again tonight because my Victor electronic traps have caught four mice in the past two days. Yep! As soon as I saw a mouse-like scamper from the corner of my eye the other night I double-checked that the traps were set with fresh batteries and peanut butter. Placed along the wall each trap caught two mice (one at a time). One mouse was quite large and the other three were small.

In my experience these traps are quite easy and effective. It's important to keep an eye on the light and empty each trap as soon as one notices that it's flashing. This way it will be ready for another mouse. I also appreciate there is no mess. This mousetrap is a very useful product and I highly recommend.

I caught my mouse the second night. I had to figure out what his path was around the house and put the trip in front of it.  I freed him in a field. Job well done, would buy again.

These things work! I have caught a mouse every time I have used them.

I caught the first mouse in ten minutes using peanut butter on a piece of cracker. I caught another mouse overnight, both unharmed. It's easy to set up, and it's easy to release the rodents once you catch them.

Ive had a recent outbreak of mice in my apartment building. At first I tried snap traps, but even with suggestions of putting peanut butter under the paddle so the mouse has to futz with it, I still had terrible luck catching them. Then I moved to sticky traps, which were definitely more effective but I had a few friends ruin shows by stepping on them, and I got tired of having to bash mice over the head to put them out of their misery. I'd come hone from work and see one stuck to the glue, all tired out from struggling, and then it would see me comingto whack it over the head and would FREAK out. I have no problem killing the things, there are WAY too many. But suffering is never fun to watch. Enter this zappy-do. I've caught three mice in the past 24 hours. I emptied this thing out after work today and an hour later it had caught another. Black box of doom, I think it brings out their curiosity. They small peanut butter against the back wall and have to crawl through a narrow space to get it? Lovely! Mice love those things. I've killed about 10 mice with the new trap and only one got away after some zapping and some squealing. I've had 2 times where the light didn't come on when the thing had killed one. One of those times I hadn't been regularly checking it as I should and got that wonderful olfactory assault that is the unique smell of dead mouse. But otherwise every experience has been good, fast, clean, easy. All things we need a little more of with a house full of mice. Good luck with your struggles!

Best trap I have used. Easy to set. Caught a mouse within hours of setting the trap! Highly recommend.

Its like the mice wait for me to put these out. I'm in the country and they come into my garage.  I set two on each entrance side and by morning wallah.  Its quick and never misses. I never re use I have a snake grabber that we use to pick them up with and throw in the burn pile.  I use a pinch of peanut butter.

I caught 2 within 24 hours of setting them. Firstly that shows how much of a problem I had but also the traps truly do work.

repeating traps like this one are great. I bought it to replace one that was lost. Already caught about a dozen mice in my shed! The only drawback to this brand unit (compared to the Victor Tin Cat) is that the springs on the trap doors are a bit stiff - the mice couldn't get in there at first. Flex them a few times to loosen them up.

I watched a mouse walk right across one of these with no problem.  The only thing I have caught with these is one spider.
