Victor® TIN CAT® Mouse Trap with Window - 12 Traps

I bought these back in July but didn't put them out until last night after the pest management company came and did another tightening up of the house. They left me some (non-poisonous) bait and made suggestions where I could put the traps. I did that last night. This morning one of the traps had a mouse in it. A while later there were two and then, just before I was ready to take them 1/2 mile down the street to the local park, I saw a third tail! I am thrilled. That's three mice that no longer live in my house. I love the clear top - to be able to see if they are there or not - no guessing. These traps are humane and clean. I totally recommend them!

So many years have passed, and so many different houses and types of traps - I don't remember my first Tin Cat. Maybe it was in the mid-2000s. They work very well. I've even noticed that when placed properly but without bait they seem to lure in the mice. When one mouse is trapped it seems to attract others. If I don't get to them soon enough they go cannibal. One mouse left in the trap too long will either die from anxiety and escape efforts, or just suicide by a willful act. Odd. When cleaning (after a cannibal orgy) I submerge the traps in a bucket of soapy or bleach water and spray with a hose. I have about a dozen Tin Cats now, and put them into service as soon as a family of mice moves in. After a few days they're usually all trapped and disposed of - To a distant part of the desert, or in the trash if they've given up the ghost. Of course, I highly recommend the clear top (viewable) model; it saves a lot of fussing when checking the traps in the morning. As far as economy, I think Tin Cats are surprisingly affordable for the construction quality and design. Properly kept, they would seem to be unlimited by age. One thing to consider is that the two operating trap mechanisms, if separated from the base, will need a little mechanical understanding to re-attach them; not much of a problem. Last year I placed one Tin Cat in the garage where I suspected mouse traffic and entry into the house proper. I checked it regularly for months, but gradually became less diligent. Sure enough - After about a year suddenly it was full of mouse remains - A bunch of them entered, got hungry, ate those who came before. No idea how many perished there, but for every one that died in captivity, that's one that didn't get into the house. Every time this happens I swear I'll check the traps daily, but it doesn't matter much. It's all about keeping them out of the food stores, keeping them from building nests and breeding in the house. Good traps.

I got my first order 2 weeks back. A day later I caught one of the mice that has been hanging around for who know how long. The first one someone was dead when I opened the top. Then a couple of days back I caught another one live. This was not only humane, but have given me a sense of reality to the pest. By catching them live, you remove the anxiety and scariness of the little guy. Thank you

Very easy to use. Easy to release mice. I like the clear top. Reusable so it pays for itself. I've recommended it to my friends.

Out of 10 traps I set, have only caught 1 mouse!!!!!! I see mice run around in the shop and shed and on the porch all the time, but they're not going in the traps. Wasted my money!

I first bought one of these a few years ago, and it caught enough mice to bring the invasion to an end. So when I saw evidence of mice near the furnace again a couple of months ago, I cheerfully placed the trap. It caught a few mice, then one of the doors started to jam and let them out. So I went out and bought two new ones a few months ago. Aside from a few very young mice early on, though, all I've found inside is scattered bait, poop, and two disgustingly memorable times, a half-eaten mouse corpse. I've also seen two mice run from the center right out one door. Based on the noise one made, it sounded like they're figuring out how to pull the see-saw ramp down from the inside.

Just stuck a little cheese to end of entrance and had a mouse trapped by the morning.

Great live traps. Work better than any other traps I've tried, even without bait. I use in greenhouse, shop, stables, and multiple garages.

Bought this for my mother, having work done on her house and mice entered. Put one down and caught 2 mice in one night. Gave one to my sister and she caught 3 in her shed. works great and very humane

This device has caught 7 mice for us so far and counting. We put them above our drop ceiling in our business and it has worked well. We are in a plaza next to some restaurants so we think that's where they are coming from. I'm not sure what type of super smart mice others are dealing with that said this doesn't work. It certainly has worked for us, in fact one of the mouse tried to escape and died trying...
