Meeting your house guests face to face By Samuel Chell [Note: This is a good trap but pricey, especially when you're trapped into purchasing two plus postage. Simply enter the words "repeater mouse trap" in the Amazon general search box, and you'll find the same trap (renamed) available from another dealer for eight bucks. Wish I'd seen it first.] When my wife grew so impatient with my live-trapping attempts that she brought home a couple of those D-Con tilt-a-whirl rides-of-death disposables, I became determined to increase my efficiency to save the creatures. The green house and tip traps worked but erratically, catching one mouse at a time and breaking after several weeks use. And the metal Havahart trap practically requires the skills of a sapper (bomb defuser) to set the wires--too steep a learning curve, time-consuming, inconvenient (though it may be the "one" for experienced or patient trappers). Enter the Victor Tin Cat. Nothing to set up. The directions even claimed bait is unnecessary (they're right--though I seem to catch fewer without it). I put peanut butter on a cracker, and the next morning saw 4 pairs of big eyes staring back at me. Moreover, unlike some of the other live traps, this one leaves the critters dry and comfortable, not drenched with perspiration and half-dead. Consequently, the tricky part of transferring them to a holding tank (from which many of them used to escape) before deporting them is unnecessary. Simply leave them in the trap (it makes a nice temporary home). Both of my traps came coated with a slightly sticky lubricant. No big deal. Just to warn you it's not in your head. Also, one minor drawback of the trap is that it has two little "hideaways," and the new inhabitants quickly adapt to their fairly cozy digs, making it difficult to evict the tenants when it's time. After opening the top lid, I give them a minute or so to make their break for freedom, then turn the trap upside down and tap it, and am finally reduced to pulling the tail of the last hold-out or two (they'll still resist by grabbing tightly with their front paws). Perhaps a reason professional exterminators prefer a device like the Havahart. What bugs me about the heavily advertised D-Con system is the emphasis on the human never having to view the animal. Simply spread some peanut butter on the bottom at night and throw it away--trap, contents, and all--in the morning. Now that's what I call the ultimate "denial of death." (And what a profit-maker for D-Con.) If you're going to kill them, do it right, and use it as a valuable preparatory lesson for the kids before the inevitable becomes inevitable. 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Worked for us! By Kate We caught several mice at one time with this non-lethal trap, and it was easy to release them from it. Although the instructions say no bait is necessary, we got fast results by putting a little bit of seed into it. It's more expensive than a typical killing-type trap, but worth the extra money for not having to kill the mice. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely Genious! By Nicole A. Ayres When I bought this I was slightly skeptical, but was willing to try anything. We weren't infested with mice, and had up to this point never even seen a house mouse. But we started to notice one little guy running the length of our hallway at night while we were relaxing on the couch. He was a cutie, but I knew we had to take care of the problem before our one little cutie turned into dozens. I bought this trap due to the great reviews and because I couldn't stand the thought of waking up one morning to find a little dead mouse. We are gentle people, what can I say! Well, the trap got here yesterday, we put it in the hallway up against the wall where we see him run every night, and this morning when I got up there he was! As I write, he is in the trap, unharmed,
