Mice Cube 3-pk Humane Mouse Trap - The Only Mousetrap You'll Ever Use

Have used these traps for years and they perform as advertised. Bait ‘em with a cracker topped with a little Reese’s peanut butter candy and mice can’t resist.

Works well.

I love animals of all kinds, including mice. But I don't want them in my kitchen, and if one does make an appearance, I want to be able to relocate it safely and humanely to an outdoor location better suited for us both. I first used a Mice Cube over thirty years ago, and was amazed at how quickly they work! I put a small dab of peanut butter on a piece of bread and tucked it at the far end of the trap. You can put a thin line at the entrance, where the door meets the "floor" of it, but I found it made the door sticky and prone to failure, enabling Mousey to grab the snack and hightail it out before the door closed. I placed it in the path we'd found its crumbs in, and turned in for the night. Around 4am, I heard a squeal and checked the trap, and there it was. Getting the little guy out promptly is important; there are air holes, but it can be a tight fit for a larger mouse, and this one was clearly distressed. I drove to a park about three miles away - important to be sure they don't migrate back in - and released him into woods. Do keep your fingers away from the door when you do this, as the mouse might nip at you on his way out! And monitor it carefully - after a few hours trapped inside, they can expire.You can reuse these - wash well, and disinfect before setting again - but I just tossed it. I keep a three pack on hand in my present home, but haven't had to use them yet! Definitely the best humane trap I've seen.

These are awesome traps, but you need to:1. Put a small rock or something on top, because a crafty mouse will tip it over and then get out once he's eaten the snack you laid out for him.2. Have a property big enough so that you can take the mouse far enough away so he won't scamper right back in your house, or go over to your neighbor's house.3. Remember to check your traps often, so the mouse doesn't starve to death, that's pretty lousy. And the longer they're in there, the more mess they make. If left long enough, a very smart mouse will find an exposed door edge to chew somehow, and then open the door, and escape. Again, after eating the food first. It's happened to me more than once.4. Clean the poop out afterwards. Mice won't go in as readily if the trap is filthy. A garden hose comes in handy.4. A wheat thin cracker with a thin spread of peanut butter is just the ticket. Jelly is optional.5. Put out several traps, not just one.

I used to own domestic mice for several years and they had a habit of finding their way out of pretty much every enclosure I got for them. I'm an animal lover (and these were my pets) so I didn't want to hurt them, especially with glue traps which I consider to be akin to torture. Back then this live trap was one of the only ones I could find but to my surprise it worked amazingly well. I've caught dozens of mice with this product. Just line them up against walls (mice tend to prefer running along the sides of walls rather than in open areas), give it an hour or maybe an evening, check from time to time, and boom, sooner or later I was guaranteed to find my loose mouse inside the cube.We now have the occasional field mouse coming in from outside so I came to Amazon to find the same trusty device I was able to rely on before. I was surprised to see many other, more complicated variations of the same basic concept. I couldn't understand why I had so much trouble finding this specific design when it had worked so well for me in the past. I literally refused to buy any other mouse trap until I was sure that this one was no longer available, and was happy when I finally came across it again. I bought three just to make sure that I'll always have a spare.You can't always be guaranteed that a trap will work, animals will sometimes avoid them for various reasons. But I'm relying on dozens and dozens of instances of success with this one, it worked for me FAR more than it didn't. Just use a little peanut butter, a dab of cheese, a potato chip, or some similar basic snack and put it in the back of the trap. Lay the trap down so that the side is against a wall near where you've seen a mouse, and have the opening face the likely direction that the mouse came from. You might even want to put one or two other little treats along the same wall, towards the opening, as a trail to lure the mouse into coming closer to the trap and checking it out. Just be patient and the odds are high that the trap will work. Then you can simply lift it, turn it and let the mouse get out wherever else you'd like it to go.PS: as an animal lover I want to thank everyone who's using live traps. Good luck!
