Intruder 16000 The Better Mousetrap, Pack of 2

We bought a house that had been vacant for over a year and the home inspector called it an infestation of mice in the attic. We called around to pest control companies and all the companies but one used poison. We did not want the smell of dead mice and we did not want to pay the one company that trapped to come out every day to check traps. A friend who lives in the country recommended the Intruder, so we bought a total of eight traps. We baited with peanut butter and used thin copper wire to wrap around and anchor each trap to a rock. We spaced them around the two entries to our attic. Every day we caught mice and in about a week and half the traps were empty and the mice are all gone. Only one trap seemed to keep snapping shut without getting a mouse and the bait was always still there. The others worked perfectly and we could not have been more relieved to have our problem solved. We used gloves and face mask when dealing with the dead mice because of potential disease and wrapped them up well for disposal. The traps have an easy release so we never had to touch the dead mice, but taking protective measures is still smart. The label says that you can wash these and reuse and so we still have ours. Clean up was really easy under hot running water in the garage sink and we never had any dead mouse "ick." The mice were always dead, but completely intact, no blood or anything. The traps arrived really fast and we highly recommend these.

Easy to use, easy to empty, easy to reuse

What can I say. Super user friendly. Catches them every time. Easy to maintain and dispose of mice. I just click open the trap into a ziplock and dispose of the offender. No need to rebait. Just put a dab of peanut butter in center of trap pan. Tiny dab does the trick. Lasts for year or 2. We live in an old but remodeled farm house. Impossible to seal out every mouse. We get a few every year and I just leave 2 of these set year around in an out of sight but easy to check area. I use them in the shop too.

I bought these to address an abundance of destructive chipmunk around my home and garden. They may LOOK cute, but these buggers tunnel under cement porches and walkways, chew on landscape plants, and are beginning to cause structural damage to the foundation of our house and garage. I was really looking forward to enjoying a lemon balm plant for use in cooking, but the next day after I planted it, the varmints had chewed it down to the soil line, and that was the end of that.It is now all out WAR. Them or me. After trying a homemade bucket and ramp set- up I saw on you tube, I was so hopeful I'd see at least one deceased rodent the next day. Nope, they gleefully took the bait and leeped lithely right over the bucket. The Intruder looked good as my next weapon. Two to the pack. Great! The dimensions stated in the description are incorrect. These traps are about half the stated size listed for dimensions. Since a few reviewers said they worked on moles and chipmunks, I thought maybe they had some magic that was not readily apparent based on the tiny traps I received.Pros: very easy to bait and set. You don't have to touch the dead animal, if you could actually catch anything with these. Multi-use.Cons: very light weight plastic, easily flung across the cement by the taunting munks. Dimensions are Wrong. The dimensions listed correspond to another trap by the same manufacturer. Rodents chuckle and mock you for being stupid enough to set these. They may catch a very small mouse at best. And did I mention that the stated size is WRONG? . I hate returning things and I gave these a chance.On to poison peanuts next. My friend who used to work at a farm and garden store recommends going right to to big yellow rat traps baited with crunchy PB, but the thought of setting those and seeing the bloody mess makes me cringe.Sorry if I have offended any animal lovers. I can't be bothered with catch and release traps. I would have a full time job as a relocation and vacation- planning specialist for devilish little beasts.Buyer beware.

Yo so this mofo mouse was all up in my business. Raiding my pantry and leaving his poop marks and spraying his tags all over my containers. I was like enough is enough with this guy. He was raiding all times at night. 3 am, 6am, midnight didnt matter. Not to mention he ate all my christmas chocolate and was bragging about it. Leaving all the empty wrappers and shells in my face like "sucka!!".I called pest control. They plugged the holes and put out some poison traps. Still, the mofo was still finding food and getting into all my snacks. One time at 3am we had a battle with a broom. I slapped him but he kept on running under my oven. Dudes a bauce.Finally, I bought these things. I give it 4 stars because the package was missing one trap. However, first night I slapped some Teddy's PB (dosesnt get hard) on this thing and put it right by the wall. Woke up and BAM! I finally caught him.Now my life feels whistless, my enemy is gone. But the traps worked like a charm!

Mouse traps do the job.

I wanted to evict a mouse from my garage so I bought a pair of these traps. I liked the concept and they were easy to use and set up. I baited them with a little peanut butter and left them over night. The next day, both traps were sprung and the peanut butter was gone. I decided to try again so I set up the traps and left them over night. The next morning, one trap was sprung and the other one was missing. I looked all over the garage but there was no sign of it. I accepted the challenge. I baited the remaining trap and used double stick tape to secure it to the floor. The next day, the trap was gone and so was the tape. I've decided to get a cat.

I have used various mouse traps .... and i LOVE this product. I use peanut butter inserted with a Q tip right at the back. If you can stomach it ... you can reuse ... i just pick the mouse and trap up and dispose of the entire thing with a pair of tongues. My house is a dugout ... mice are a fairly constant, if periodic, problem.

If there’s one mouse there’s more. I used one trap. Put a little peanut butter on the little plate and voila!!! Worked like a charm. Mouse problem gone

Well, I wasn't sure how well the traps would work. They are very easy to set. You can put peanut butter on the trap easily, (my preferred bait). Today was the first time I used the traps, after seeing a mouse in the house. Woo hoo! It worked perfectly!

Easy to use

A bit jumpy to set but good to reuse a few times
