Motel Mouse Humane No Kill Live Catch and Release Mouse Traps, Reusable with Cleaning Brush - 2 Pack

ADVICE FOR TRAP-SHY MICE-Try foods the mice already know. Mine was eating the cat's wet food.-Try smelly foods to get the mouse's attention.-Change the bait every day.-Place the trap along a trail you know the mouse has taken.-Smear the bait on the inside of the rear door so the mouse has to go all the way into the trap.-If all this advice fails, try offering a "freebie" for several days. In my case, I place a single peanut just inside the door, where the mouse could grab it without setting off the trap. This got him to feel comfortable with the trap. After a few days, he finally went into the trap to get the bait at the far back.This company has outstanding customer service and an excellent product. I gave one trap to my father, who had a bad mouse problem. He caught 20 mice! I had only one mouse, but he was particularly cautious and trap-resistant. After nearly 6 months of regularly setting this trap without success, a spring broke. The company immediately shipped a replacement. Then I got smart and upped my game. After another several weeks, I finally caught him. We've been mouse-free since! I hope this clever guy is having a nice life in the park.I had only one mouse and

So, you’ve got some uninvited houseguests running around, plotting their next great escape (from your pantry). But instead of resorting to the old “trap, release, and swear under your breath,” you can give them a luxurious human experience with the Motel Mouse Humane No Kill Live Catch and Release Mouse Traps. This deluxe two-pack offers everything your furry intruder needs, catch a ride, get released, and maybe enjoy some scenic views before returning to their mousey home.Pros:• No More Mice Murder (We’re All About That Peaceful Vibe): These traps offer a guilt-free solution to your rodent problems. Instead of turning your kitchen into a scene from a survival horror film, you can simply catch your little guest, release them into the wild (or, you know, a field far enough away from your house), and move on with your day. You get the satisfaction of a job well done and no blood on your hands. That’s some next-level humane treatment.• Reusable for the Eco-Conscious Rodent Wrangler: If you’ve got a recurring mouse party happening in your house (because mice are so trendy right now), these traps can be reused. Plus, they come with a cleaning brush, which means you can keep these traps pristine and ready for their next guest. No waste, just straight-up pest management.• Effective Design: The traps are simple but effective. They use a spring-loaded mechanism to catch the mouse without harm, which means you don’t have to worry about finding a squished critter in the morning (unless you accidentally forget to release them, which… well, that’s your own thing to deal with).• Aesthetic Appeal: Okay, so maybe calling them aesthetic is pushing it, but these traps are sleek enough to not ruin the vibe of your modern farmhouse decor. At least they won’t clash with your minimalist kitchen design.Cons:• Can’t Predict Where Your Mice Will Hang Out: Unfortunately, these traps aren’t psychic. If you’re trying to predict where your mouse is going to be, good luck! You might need a little trial and error to find the perfect “mouse lounge” in your home.• Mouse Not Included: While this is more of a disclaimer than a con, it’s worth mentioning that you’ll need to attract the mouse yourself. These traps don’t come with a mouse concierge service, so you’ll have to lure them in with your finest cheese offerings (or peanut butter, if you’re feeling rebellious).• Size Might Be Too Small for Larger Mice: If you’re dealing with a mouse that’s more of a bodybuilder than a dainty little rodent, it might be a tight squeeze. Larger mice might be able to escape through the bars or simply refuse to cooperate. Maybe these traps need to add a mouse-sized gym in the next version.Bottom Line: The Motel Mouse Humane No Kill Live Catch and Release Mouse Traps are a win if you’re looking to deal with your rodent problem without resorting to extreme measures. You can catch and release without drama, and the cleaning brush keeps things neat. Sure, mice aren’t always the most cooperative guests, but when they’re staying in your trap, they’ll definitely enjoy the 5-star treatment.

Incredibly effective, and very humane. I was very impressed by the tip sheet they have in the packaging, it talks about how to release the mice responsibly. Very easy to reset. I caught a mouse within an hour of setting it up!

It does work, at least with young mice, and when there’s many siblings. Some are wary. Problem is there needs to be more and bigger holes along the top-humidity will cause them to suffocate. Also, the latch can fail after use; the lever lays flat and the hatch door won’t catch or it becomes sensitive and releases if you or a mouse moves the trap. A little Deer Mouse somehow got its tail and one leg caught in the door, but being plastic it didn’t hurt either but it caused him to be hanging. I kept that one for several days. He came through my heating duct vent. A mouse (think he was 4 weeks old) may not be heavy enough to trigger it. People tape a penny to the lever. Note:1. You have to check the traps frequently because they can die of dehydration or stress. If you’re going to be gone all day, shut the traps. It can be long suffering.2. They are highly likely to die when released except possibly field mice. They need to be released near a water source (stream, pond, lake, etc.) and a spot with brush and leaves. They will have a hard time finding food, especially in winter. They were born under my mobile home and bird food has been ample. They will probably be eaten by a hawk, etc. I console myself that they are not poisoning other animals, the hawks need food, and I just can’t have them chewing wires, spreading urine and feces, fleas, etc.Kind of sad about the Deer mouse (house mouse) I had in a large box with tubes for tunnels and chasing, a pile of leaves and tissues, water, food. See photo: he’s looking at me like this is not how we play. But he started jumping higher and I was afraid he’d use my arm to get out. So cute, but I highly doubt he survived.3. I put the food at the end of the lever not inside the bait door. That way they get more food while miserable. Seeds and peanut butter. The previous traps had holes on the outside and inside. They changed that, thankfully. A smart rat or mouse managed to get off the bait door and eat the cheese with no gnawing! I heard it moving the trap around in the drawer. Make sure it’s fitting right and tight.4. I might try the clear traps next so it looks different. While I caught six, there’s more. Last night it tore up the paper towel inside the drawer, but didn’t enter. They are able to procreate when they reach six weeks old. Hoping I can avoid a professional. My neighbor once got 13 mice and she still puts out her bird feeder. She uses snap traps. So, this will be ongoing…
