We live in an almost 100 year old farm house that is apparently, advertised in "Mouse Daily" as THEE place to move into during Spring and Fall. Short of tearing our home down, there is simply NO WAY to find all the cracks and crevices that these critters climb through, to gain entry into our home. When you go to grab your frying pan and there is both mouse turds and urine coating a pan you used a week ago; when you go to grab your coffee beans from a Tupperware container only to find a hole gnawed in the side and a mouse INSIDE the container, EATING the beans, it's time to use these traps!
Before buying these traps, 20 at a time, we tried bate, a standard wire mouse trap, heck!, we even have three cats! But, a cat can't catch a mouse living inside your oven nor inside of a plastic container, so that's where these traps come in handy.
I do realize that they are sad traps to use and my heart breaks whenever a wee mousie is trapped, but it's either risking our health through contamination of feces and urine or killing the mice; sadly, WE win and the MOUSE looses!
I bate these traps with bits of crushed potato chips and that acts like a magnet for any mouse in the house. Usually we have 10 traps set up at a time all over the kitchen/bathroom, which is the area of our farm house that has settled the most over the root cellar. I have the traps either taped down with blue "painter's tape" so they can't move all over the place, trying to get free. And out of the deepest respect for the poor mouse, once trapped, I cover it with a paper towel to cover the remainder of the glue board, place the mouse into a plastic bag, and then place the poor thing into a deep freeze we have in the garage. Within 15 minutes, I've euthanized it as kindly as I can, into a deep sleep. And then into the trash bin it goes. This is also the ONLY trap that can catch and keep VOLES, some of the nastiest most destructive vermin living! We had an endless stream of voles gnaw right through our breezeway into our home and the cats wouldn't even touch them! After ridding ourselves of the voles, we had to completely reframe the outside and inside door trim, which they chewed through like tissue paper!
The down side to these is you pretty much still have to kill the mouse yourself. Though I had one disembowel himself trying to pull himself free. I keep a 3 ft piece of 1x4 board handy. You just break their head/neck and then you're good to go. Then I just take the board, stick it on the glue part to pick up the trap. Open the outside trash can and bang it on the rim and the dead mouse and trap fall in - you don't have to touch it or the mouse. No fuss no muss. Twice I've caught 2 mice with one trap.
I hate that I need to kill something living in order to provide a sanitary/safe place for my family. But, when Autumn comes and we are catching 3-4 mice per day for weeks at a time, we simply must choose our quality of life vs. theirs.
