not humane
Ive used humane live traps for mice in the past with great success.

When a mouse problem reoccured recently I purchased these, as I had lost my old humane trap, of a different design.

I set these traps at night and checked them in the morning. They have remained empty each time, except for once when the mouse inside was dead. This was very upsetting as obviously not why I had bought these traps. Due to the moisture levels inside when I opened to remove the dead mouse, I would assume the death was largely due to the lack of ventilation and the very small area inside.

**Dont buy this model of humane trap**

Useless
Bought these in a twin pack and gave them a go. I actually *heard* the mouse come out in the late evening, heard it enter the trap...and then some rattling about. When I checked, the mouse was scurrying away. The trap had closed, but the mouse was not inside. Judging by the mechanism I would suggest that the door doesn't close fully, thus allowing the mouse to push its way out. Total waste of time and money.

Disappointing product
I have to agree with the rest of the one starrers here - the product just does not work. I would have liked to have given my 'little visitor' (field mouse as it turned out) a second chance but it would just flip the trap - and shut the door on the way out !
In the end I got the Rent o Kill advanced mouse trap which at least dispatched it quickly and cleanly.

Worked great for me!
I baited mine with a couple of bits of bread and had our little visitor within 45 minutes.
These traps seem to need a hard surface and be pointing in the direction the mouse comes from which is why they suggest putting them back to back.
Used properly they seem very effective, I used it a while ago as well and caught one overnight using peanut butter as a bait.
Dont be put off by the reviews above but do experiment with wheaty or grain baits (not cheese apparently )

Cheap but a false economy - avoid these mouse traps
If you want to catch mice alive then use the 'Live Catch Trip Trap Mouse Trap' - it costs four times as much but is superb. This Big Cheese version is far too small for the adult countryside mice we get, and so it doesn't work. The larger see-through 'live catch' trap nearly always gets it's mouse [eventually], making it well worth the extra outlay - plus you can see the trapped little critter from afar and no surpises when you open the trap-door. I use fruit cake with a little chocolate spread as bait, with a few crumbs by the door. The only downside, my wife left the garage door open once and the 'live catch' trap vanished, presumably stolen by a local furry carnivore who fancied a trapped mouse - we never saw either again. After catching a shrew in a traditional metal mouse trap I only use these alternative 'live catch' traps about the house - although releasing them elsewhere is fraught with moral dilemma as someone else will get your mouse problem.

In our attic, where mouse damage can cause electrical fires and other unpleasantness, I do use old style kill-em-dead traps as the mouse wouldn't be released from the trap until it's far too late. Again avoid Big Cheese type cheap mouse-traps, they can injure as often as kill. Dried apricot makes a good bait as it can stay in the trap months without going mouldy and a piece sticks tight to the mousetrap trip. I only use the all steel 'Selfset' mouse trap in the attic - again more expensive and also UK designed, but more effective and importantly more humane in a location that's only visited a few times a year.
