Feeke Rat Trap, Large Mouse Traps, Mouse Traps Indoor for Home, Instant Kill Traps for Mouse Rat Chipmunk, Quick Set Up and Reusable - 6 Pack, Black

I was skeptical as there are always people who give bad reviews. But I was also desperate. I live in the country so occasional mice are an issue but this seems to be an infestation larger than normal. Poison wasn't working - probably poisoning one mouse but not the batch. I liked the look of these for easy set up and because they were re-usable. The traps came this afternoon. I only set up 2 of the 6 from the pack. Super easy. Within one hour of setting it up (while I was sitting in the same room!) the trap went off and I had my first mouse. Disposed of it in 2 seconds and took another 2 seconds to re-set the same trap. I didn't even need to rebait it. Within another hour and a half (still sitting in same room) I had my second mouse (same trap). These do the job and even if they do konk out after a few uses it will be worth the money as they are cheap for the price. One note - I used a VERY tiny amount of peanut butter (like half a pinky nail in size and put it down deep in the bait bowl. Don't pile it up or use a lot as it gives the mouse the ability to possibly eat and retreat without setting anything off. By putting it down in the cup he has to reach his head in there for it. Likewise, don't avoid the cup and put it back further in the trap....the bait bowl seems designed to make sure their neck is in line when it closes. If you put the bait too far back in the trap you may not catch its neck so use as directed, I will definitely buy these again if I need them!!!! Update - still working great. Still using same 2 traps. 4 mice caught so far by these traps (3 in one trap, 1 in another) and I haven't had to re-bait either trap yet. I don't know why I wasn't using these all along so much faster and more effective than poison! Update 4/16 - 1 year later and still going GREAT! I have still only used 2 traps out of the entire pack. The springs are still working fantastic and they are just as lethal as when I bought them a year ago so WELL worth the price!!! They continue to work after more than a year, and I still have spares if/when I need them. There is no blood or mess so the traps don't get gross. This is a clean kill to the skull or neck. I just toss the dead mice out and reset - and occasionally refill the little bait cup with fresh peanut butter. If these are not working for you then you are not setting them in the right place. I have two different types of mice getting in because I'm in the country. Normal "house" mice and lighter brown field mice. These traps have long since exterminated the regular house mice so they worked to get rid of this type 100%....but then I started getting field mice. I think they found a way into my sunroom from the outside wall. At any rate. At first, the traps would not catch them, and were even going off at times w/o catching anything. The trap would be snapped closed - but no mouse. I quickly realized these new mice were coming and going in a different part of the room. The place I had set the traps that worked on the house mice was not ideal anymore because the paths they were moving along were different. So I moved the traps to where I saw and heard the activity. Now these same two traps are catching field mice like gangbusters. I went from catching 2 mice a day to every other day to now only once every 1-2 weeks so I am sure I'm getting this infestation under control as well. If you know you have mice but are not catching anything try these tips: 1. Put the trap against something like a box or a baseboard so that it is parallel to that object. Do not set them out in the open. Mice like to keep to the walls for safety and feel exposed if they are in the open. The traps that do best for me are always the ones where the trap is set right against a vertical surface like a wall or a box so that the mice encounter it while running along their "safe" paths. 2. If the traps keep going off but you are not catching anything there are two possibilities. One - you have rats not mice and the traps are too small. Two - they are not getting far enough into the trap and are able to jump free when it triggers. One solution to try is to only put a tiny bit of peanut butter way down inside the bait cup rather than over-filling the cup with a huge hunk of peanut butter. Using less makes them have to reach further in to get the bait. Less is more. Also...remember to refresh the peanut butter occasionally. It gets dry and crumbly and fresh stuff works best. My mice don't last long enough to eat the bait so I eventually have to clean out the crusty peanut butter and put in new stuff. Then the traps start catching mice again. 3. TIP: Remove all sources of food from the area or put it in plastic bins. I figured out what caused my two infestations. I had a bag of granola bars that had fallen behind something and was attracting them. Even if food is in a bag like pretzels etc...they can still smell it and will keep coming back.

We have not had a problem with mice in 20 years in this house. This year, we started seeing signs they might be in our basement furnace/utility room. I researched how to trap mice and new style traps. I believe this 12 pack was a GREAT investment. I got 12 thinking they wouldn't last long. I WAS WRONG. These are tough little things. We have shelves with extra pantry items in there. It has not ever been a problem with canned goods, chips, cookies, boxed cereal etc. Apparently mice like peanut butter crackers in the 6 cracker snack packs. They snacked on multiple packages of crackers in a large open box 32 packages with about 8 packs left. Several packages were chewed open with one or two crackers partially eaten and the box littered with their tell tale poop. I removed one chewed on cracker package and put it beside the box. I set one trap outside the box by that cracker package leaving 4 partially eaten packages in the box. I put 2 traps inside the box. All traps had peanut butter in the bait tray. They are like a big clothespin about 1.5 inches wide with teeth on the top and bottom like a big rectangular open mouth. see picture First night all three traps had mice. Second night night one inside and one outside the box. The traps were VERY easy to set. I worried they weren't as strong as the wooden spring traps. However, I tripped one when I dropped it into the cracker box and it snapped so hard it "jumped" off the pile of cracker packages I set it on. It' clearly was powerful enough to get the mice from any angle they entered...most often it looked like they entered from the side. In the AM when I checked the traps I just had to pick them up like a clothespin, took them outside in the woods, squeezed the clothespin like trap open and dropped them there. I just set them again with the same peanut butter in the bait trap. They are easy to bait and wash. The bait tray comes out to fill and to clean without having to set the trap and you can open them like a clothespin without "setting" them so you can easily wash them without risking your fingers. One warning. They almost look like toys. While a young child couldn't squeeze them enough to set them, our 8 year old great grandson could easily do it and immediately started clipping them together like clothespins when we were unpacking them. He quickly discovered they clicked open and wondered why. Thankfully we were unpackaging them together so we demonstrated how they work together with a piece of paper as a mouse. The tooth marks in the paper were a visual warning of their power. See picture & video I'll be setting them all over to see what happens. I'm hoping we run out of mice SOON. REMEMBER to set them in the expected runways of the mice and they can be triggered easily from 3 sides! This really is a BETTER MOUSETRAP! Well worth the $$$. I think the only way I'll lose one is if (when) the kids and grandkids want to try them....they won't come back. Good Luck.

Works, within an hour of placing it down it got it, during the day too. It is very easy to set, though putting the bait in was a bit of a pain since It would block the trigger pad if I put too much (Which was user error) so since I have never used mouse traps before use wayyyy less bait than you think you need. Its all plastic with a metal spring so it should be easy to clean though. Edit: I have caught 10 mice total so far in the last 4 days. (How did I not notice them for this long) And basically it took some time finding good spots but once you find them just keep resetting them. There was a 1 trap which triggered and bait was taken but no mouse but today I checked and I got 4 mice in them and I must say the mice literally get crushed. which is nuts since it didn't hurt my finger at all. Yep definitely worth it.

Took care of the problem. More durable than the old wooden ones.

This snap trap is the real deal! I've tried those "humane" traps and sticky pads before, but nothing works as quickly and effectively as this old-fashioned snap trap. It's incredibly sturdy and well-made, and the trigger mechanism is very sensitive. I was able to catch the pesky mouse that had been raiding my pantry quickly! Baiting it is super easy, and it feels much more sanitary than dealing with a glue trap. Plus, it's reusable, so I can keep it on hand for any future unwanted visitors. Highly recommend this trap for anyone who needs a reliable and effective solution to a mouse problem.

Caught the mouse 30 minutes after getting the package delivered

These traps are really great: they are easy to set up and easy to trigger (for mice). Unlike the guillotine traps I used to use, the mice don't get the opportunity to eat any of the peanut butter before becoming bird food.

They do the job. Caught three pesky rodents first night and a fourth the next. Mouse problem (almost) gone away
