Pest-Stop Little Nipper Mouse Trap | Wooden Traps for Indoors | Durable Reusable Snap Traps | Mice Trap for Rodent Control - Mousetraps for Home and Office - Pack of 2

These are traditional rodent traps. They work well as long as you take a few simple steps. Place them where the rodents are likely to have an established run. Don't handle the traps too much. This is to ensure they won't have too much human scent on them. Use a bait that is tricky to remove. I found that pieces of a sticky caramel sweet worked well. Finally, try to set the trap so that the slightest thing will set it off. These little rodents are light footed. I noticed droppings on the bench in my garage and felt I had to set traps to protect valuable material. These traps have been very effective, while I am working on preventing the rodents from getting in at all. I would show a photo of both traps being successful (you know what I mean) but it would breach the community guidelines.

I had mice visiting my garden shed and nibbling stored plant bulbs. I set two traps, bated with small cubes of cheese. I caught 3 mice within four days. End of problem !

We have a stables full of hay and horse feed and have become the local restaurant for rats. We don't like having to kill things but they were even eating their way through plastic bins, wood panelling and wire netting to get in so something had to be done. We set all six of these bated with Peanut butter and four traps worked on the first night. The traps. These are like big mouse traps and are basically constructed but easy to fix if they break or fall apart. The springs are strong so the kill will be instantaneous. They are easy to set but mind your fingers as sometimes they snap back as you place them on the floor ! Overall. Basic traps that do the job and are easy to fix when they break. Not always that easy to set but a little practice makes perfect here !

Never used them.....

These good old fashioned traps are very sensitive to pressure (obviously that's the point!) so it can take a bit of practice to actually set them without triggering them yourself. I found that heavier baits made this more of a problem as it weighed down the pressure pad and made it more difficult to set the trap. Once I got the two traps set with quality street chocolates (left over from Christmas) as bait, I was pretty pleased to catch 3 mice in the first 48 hours. I'm sure all were killed cleanly and instantly but one was quite badly 'messed up' leaving a pretty gory clean up job, and I'm not very sensitive about these things. I would therefore not recommend these for the faint-hearted. However, the real issue is that my mice grew wise to these traps very quickly and for the next few days, despite trying different baits and trap positions, they kept managing to take all the bait off the trap without setting it off. Only once more did a trap even get triggered, but without catching anything. I realised that in fact these traps had gone from helping to making things worse, as all I was actually doing now was feeding the mice (and therefore encouraging them) without catching any. At this point, I stopped using them and bought the Electronic Mouse Killer by the same manufacturer to finish off the job. This proved to be very successful, more humane and not gory/messy at all, so I guess this would be my recommendation. In summary, these simple traps do work but in my experience the success is only short lived. Might still be worth a try as a cheap solution to a minor mouse infestation.

Not fit for purpose. One of the two is impossible to set as it just falls back off the arm. The other we eventually managed to set, checked in the morning and the bait was gone but the trap hadn’t gone off.

Well priced and they are effective

We had a load of mice coming through from next door where they have an excess of bird seed on the floor which attracts them, they've already chewed through some wiring so I wanted them gone. Where there is one mouse there will be loads more. The first step to setting these up properly is to use the right bait. The mice can easily remove the bait from the treddle if it's not secured so I suggest getting some cheerios as the first step. Then you'll want some superglue. Glue to cheerio to the treddle over the little pin and then glue another cheerio or two to the first one. Make sure they are well attached and then set your trap keeping your fingers out of the way as it will really hurt if it catches you. Then put your trap out and make sure it's covered as you don't want a bird or cat getting snapped in it. Check the trap every day and I guarantee you'll have a mouse in there, The bait will be gone as subsequent mice can obviously take it off without triggering the trap as it's already gone off. The other mice wont care about the dead body in the trap at all. I've caught two at a time this way as they both struggle to get the bait off the treddle they will trigger the trap. You may find the trap is gone when you go to look for it as a cat or a fox will take the whole lot if it finds it.

Muy efectivos para esos ratoncillos de campo pequeños que se cuelan en los garajes, y que personalmente me dan mucha repulsión. Funcionan muy bien.

Terrible, mouse can just eat off the trap without going off. Tried several different types of bait

Only one of the traps was working, not worth the effort returning it...
