IIWEYHumane Mouse Trap, 32 cm Enlarged Smart Mouse and Rodent Trap, No Kill The Mice, Pets & Children Friendly, Like a Real Mouse Home (Black)

This is a good trap. Its easy to set, keeps the trapped animal from escaping without harming it and is easy to bait too. Its also very easy to clean afterwards. Metal linings prevent the mouse from escaping once trapped.A removable end section allows bait to be set into a tray, then its just a question of re-fitting it, lifting the catch on the door at the opposite end and opening the door fully to set the trap.I used a piece of chocolate smeared with hazelnut chocolate spread, an irresistible lure for any mouse with taste.I added two coins on the outside of the trap on the cantilever hinge point to increase the sensitivity and it worked on day one, trapping the mouse overnight and he or she was released without harm in a field the following morning.It has a couple of drawbacks but these are easily remedied. Firstly the slots on the end are quite wide so if your bait is going, its possibly because a small mouse is able to go into and out of the trap through these slots and is just feasting on the food. Experts say small mice can squeeze through spaces just 5mm wide. So I fixed some wire mesh beneath the metal guard to solve this.The next issue is the weight required to trip the door. A very small mouse wont push the plate down unless its very sensitive. I weighed mine so that plate drops under gravity with nothing on it then when its set up, the wright of the door just keeps the plate from falling. This should ensure that even the lightest mouse gets trapped.You may need to experiment and mod the unit a bit to make it more effective but anybody with a modicum of DIY skill can turn this good trap into an excellent one capable of catching even the smallest mouse.

Brilliant! Much better value than my lazy cat!A mouse decided to shelter from the winter in our garage so we ordered this trap to stop him shredding the picnic blanket and crapping over the camping gear.We didn't hold out much hope of catching it but put a tiny piece of chocolate at the entrance to the trap and placed some nuts further back. Trap was easy to set and the children were excited. The trap is clear, humane, easy to set and easy to release. It also is robust enough for eager little hands to hold onto and inspect the residents caught within.1st night - nothing! Not so much as a nibble on the chocolate.2nd night - success! The critter was caught and comfortably contained in the trap - much to the children's delight (and subsequent dismay when we told them that it was NOT going to be a new pet and no it could NOT live in the Sylvanian Families Doll's House).Out of curiosity we baited and put the trap out again (just in case)Lo and behold another mouse - swiftly followed by a third mouse this morning!!As I type this we are wondering if a fourth mouse will await us tomorrow (just how many of them decided to join us for the winter??).Can highly recommend and my only hope is that the mice find each other again in the woods far, far away from our house.

Have been using this trap for a few months now and have caught mice and rats successfully after my cats have brought them into the house. Quite easy to use once you get the hang of it, fiddly to clean (I flush mine through under the outside tap).. one of the trap door springs fell off recently but it still seems to work ok.. Definitely best to place alongside a wall as the rodent sees it as a safe space.. The long length is good so you can catch rats as well as mice and also makes it easier to release them for those of us a bit squeamish- will probably buy again..

Well I have to say, a wonderfull mouse trap, I hate killing any thing. And this is truly humane, in the sence they have room to move around in once caught, they can still get at there food ( peanut butter ), they can see what's happening around them, we check each morning with a video set up to see if we have caught any. and they seam very relaxed. The long tube, the are caught in takes too long for them to get back to the exit and is locked by the mechanism, so well that one time we looked in horror as a cat had noticed a mouse trapped and had spent 20 minutes trying to get at it, and failed. The trap had been pulled all around the area it was in. Turned upside down ,and it never came unlocked or broke, so well designed.up to now we have caught over 30 mice, we live close to waist ground and a field, and all let free, a few miles away into a field, one last thing, cleaning is a breaze, the back comes off ( where the food is put ). And the trap mechanism once the back is unclipped just slides back and releases for cleaning. One thing that is suggested is to place a 2 pence coin on the moving slopping floor which activates the trap. This to make it very sensitive, and a Couple drops of super glue to keep the coin in place.A well designed and well thought out trap. We have bought a few more to up the catch rate. Very recommended.
