Seabright Smart Mouse Trap - Humane Mousetrap (Two Pack)

These work great if you want to live catch and release mice. They are easy to clean, easy to set, and easy to release the mouse. We have regularly caught mice with a peanut butter/cracker combo, and haven't had any instances where the trap gets sprung without the mouse inside. You can easily see if you have caught anything with the clear sides. Definitely worth the money if you need to remove the mice from your home/garage/etc. Just make sure to check daily, as mice get dehydrated easily and can die if not released soon after capture. We once went away for a weekend and forgot about the traps, and came back to a poor dead mouse. Since we are live trapping on purpose of not killing them, we felt terrible, so I hope others can learn from our mistake. Nothing deserves to die by dehydration!Do be careful when placing them on the floor, if you set them down too firmly, the trap door can spring and shut the trap. I like to check with a flashlight to make sure I didn't spring the door, before leaving each one out.We often drive our mice to a park and open the back end and leave them the cracker. So far we have humanely relocated many household mice this way. ;-) Works great!

I was glad to see a good nonlethal alternative trap so I got a pair of these. The setup and instructions were really simple and clear. Only caught one mouse so far and the trap worked perfectly. I set these up after doing a really thorough clean-out of the trap location after I caught the first mouse and the weather improved about the same time, so I'm not about to write off their effectiveness before I see evidence that the mice are even still here. The fact is, these things catch mice. I really like these traps. They're very humane and effective. As long as you check them often and bait them properly you'll be able to release the mouse unharmed.

Did not work. 5 minutes after baiting and setting up the mouse stole the bait without even setting off the trap. I caught it in the act and it dropped the cracker, so I picked it up (with gloved hands) and re-baited the trap with it, go to take a shower for work and find the cracker gone again and the trap still set. I look in my closet and find the cracker partially nippled peanut butter face down. I pick it up and find the mouse is taunting me, because it laid it down on top of a piece of rat poison. The mouse also stole bait off a glue trap, so if by some miracle one of these traps work, that mouse is going into a bucket of water. I got this trap to try to be humane but my patients with this pest has warn.

This is a good design (easy to use) and it worked for a few days. We did catch a few mice and released them in a wild place. (We are not concerned about mice dying from exposure because we live in a temperate climate.) However, after a few days the mice stopped going in. Mice must communicate somehow because the traps are no longer catching anything. We put out some "free" food just to see if mice were still there, and yes they are (all non-trap food has been eaten up quickly).

These should work fine as the trap mechanism works just fine. All I know is I have plenty of mice to catch and these have not caught a thing. I rating them 2 instead of 1 because the trap mechanism works great but perhaps mice don't like a "green house? There is evidence on both traps that mice have nibbled on the small amount of peanut butter placed at the opening [per instructions]. And, I am confident if a mouse actually went in, the trap would catch them.

We have used these traps for several months now, and these traps work great! We have caught FIVE mice over the past several months.A few tips:Change the positions of the traps around your home. I believe they get used to them being in the same spot. Usually, as soon as I change the position of the traps -- i.e., I move it to another spot in my apartment -- very shortly thereafter, a new mouse is caught.If the mice are going in the trap without tripping the door, they are too small to trip the door. Try placing a few coins (2 quarters) toward the back of the trap. That way, only a tiny change in weight (a very small mouse) will trigger the door to close. This has worked for us.We've tried different bait, but the best is a Ritz cracker smeared with peanut butter. The trap is made for a cracker to fit in it's "bait door," and it's the only bait that works every time.Again: FIVE mice have been caught, and they all get to live in the park. Be careful, though! Make sure you take the mice far, far away from your house, or they will DEFINITELY return. Do NOT release them in your backyard. I recommend taking them 1/4 - 1/2 mile away from your home.Congratulations on not killing anything. Humane traps are JUST as effective as snap traps, and your karma is intact.

Caught the mouse, easy. This trap works by having a lever that releases a spring loaded trap door that, well, traps the mouse. You put your bait (peanut butter on a cracker) inside an enclosure opposite the trap door (not on the platform lever itself), the scent attracts the mouse, mouse goes in and sets off the trap, and the mouse is stuck until you let it out. You let the mouse out by removing the bait enclosure (leaving the bait behind) then the mouse eats through it and runs off -- so you don't actually risk much contact with the mouse at all. Ours caught the offending varmint in less than three hours.You can add a couple of pennies to the platform lever to spring load it a bit more (in case your mouse is underweight).We used these traps as we have a cat (who initially alerted us to the mouse, and probably would have finished it off even without the traps -- and in fact played with the mouse in the trap after it was caught via batting the trap all over making a racket) and a 3 year old (who explores everything and would have probably run afoul of kill traps -- and who's habit of holding open doors to look outside probably lead to the mouse coming in in the first place) and it worked out well.
