J.T. EATON 421CL "REPEATER" MULTIPLE CATCH MOUSE TRAP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I also bought this trap based on the reviews of the Victor Tin Cat. It seems to be exact same product, just cheaper (I think you have to buy two traps when you purchase the Victor Tin Cat).
After setting the trap, we caught two baby mice within a few hours. I baited it with dog food, as I had seen a mouse run to my dog's food bowl. I put the dog food (hard) right by the vents on both sides and then in the middle of the two tunnels. Each mouse was caught separately, so we released on after the other. The mother is still at large.
The only down side is that unless you know where the mice are coming in from and can make provisions to block their entry, this trap is not a long-term solution. I live in an apartment building and I know that the mice are getting into my unit through the heating grates but I have no idea how they are getting into the building nor do I have the capability to stop them from entering the building. If you do not know where the mice are entering from, unfortunately, this trap will not get rid of the problem. Actually, I suppose no trap will work as a long term solution if you cannot find or cover up their entry point. All you can do is keep catching and releasing them and try to block any access to food in your home.
All in all, this trap is definitely humane and most certainly worth the money. I highly recommend it.

Havahart 1020 Live Animal Two-Door Mouse Cage Trap Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)About 15 years ago, our apartment building began having occassional mouse problems, with my own apartment receiving 2 or 3 visits from a stray little fellow each year. I was truly appalled to see some of the more modern solutions in the stores -- I'd always had a problem with the idea of the traditional spring traps and poisons, but the houses containing sticky-bottomed floors seemed unduly cruel. I don't want to kill the little SOBs, let alone torture them; I just don't want them as roommates.
The Havahart live trap is a good, humane, cost effective solution to it all. The mechanism is a simple bait-table connected to a set of two thick and sturdy exterior wires which -- on a new trap -- trips very easily (a bit of delicate, deft handling of the exterior wires is needed to get the trap to not spring closed during setup -- those with large fingers will have a difficult time with it I would think). Following capture and release, a good cleaning in a bucket of bleach, well rinsed, and the trap is ready to go again.
For the more romatically inclined, there's a good feeling to be had in preparing a Wine & Cheese Platter (actually, I use toilet tissue and peanut butter) in my attempts to be a good host to the occasional visit from Mr. Mouse. The trap works well enough that normally I see no evidence of a mouse in my kitchen prior to him appearing in the trap -- over the years, I've come to regard the visitors less as disease-ridden destructive vermin, and more as a cute if unkempt old friend who gives me a good excuse to swab the kitchen in bleach.
I normally replace traps every five or six years, and not because they break or become non-functional-- Over time, the trap tends to get a funky dark tarnished patina which is simply too unattractive to my eye. With reasonable care, these traps can be a one-time purchase which need no replacement.
Aesthetic loss aside, after a year or so of use, it helps to oil the moving parts of the trap -- without this, it's possible for the mouse to enter the trap, steal the bait, and leave without tripping the mechanism. Be careful also of too heavy-handed handling of the trap when cleaning -- although sturdy enough, the walls of the cage can be bent with a bit of pressure, which will prevent easy movement of the doors and bait-table.
This is, to my mind, one of those superior products which one always returns to. Whoever crafted the phrase "build a better mousetrap" never saw one of these. It's cheap, it's permanent, it works.
