Title: Use the YELLOW PEDAL traps correctly and they work every time, there still isn't a better trap
Review: I've been using these traps for years and they're consistently effective. I find that the ones with the yellow pressure pads are much easier to bait and set, and are generally more effective overall, than the ones with the metal pedal.TIP ON BAITING: This tip is ONLY for the traps with the yellow pressure pads. These traps have a little "well" near the catch. My advice is to NOT put bait there. Instead, mix together a small batch of peanut butter and jam and, using a butter knife, fill JUST that small hole in the center of the yellow pad with a dab. I add jelly because the sweet smell seems to add to the attraction. You just need a little bit because you're creating an aroma, not providing a meal. Mice will come to the center of the pressure pad -- exactly where you want them -- and will press down because most of the peanut butter & jelly mix is INSIDE the hole, with just enough sticking up to entice. It takes a little finesse to get it right but do this and you'll catch a critter every time.ANOTHER TIP: Don't be shy with traps. If you have a mouse problem, don't put down just 1-2 traps where you see their droppings. Put down 20 traps, make it a death zone. And remove the dead critters quickly so their carcasses don't scare other mice away.While I'm here, I'll respond to some of the negative reviews.COMPLAINT 1: The snap bar can be hard to lift because it snaps flush with the wood.Yes, this is sort of true. But the snap bar HAS to snap flush with the wood, that's how it breaks the mouse's neck. I saw one person say he cuts the corners off the trap to make it easier to reset and that might be a small improvement, but it's not hard lifting that pry bar and you really DO want the entire bar to snap flush with the wood. If someone finds it that hard and they plan on re-using the traps, they could get a disposable plastic knife and use that all the time.COMPLAINT 2: The parts eventually come loose.I re-use my traps repeatedly unless I forget to check and the decomposed mouse makes the trap too gross to re-use. But remember, these things cost about a dollar each, you shouldn't expect precision machining for that price. There ARE more expensive, higher quality traps out there, though I've found these to be the most effective out there.COMPLAINT 3: Mice eat the food and the trap doesn't snap.This is probably more prevalent on the traps with the metal pedal. I've been using the ones with the yellow pressure pads for years and have never -- not once -- had the bait taken without the trap being set off.

Title: They work great
Review: These are way cheaper buyimg bulk when you're catching, mice and they also work catching voles. We put a little peanut butter on them and in no time, we catch them plus they're really simple to use and work way better than expensive ones.

Title: Bait it correctly and place it well, it will catch a mouse every time!
Review: I'm back to buy my second box, These simple mouse traps work perfectly every time! All you have to do is bait it right and place it where mice travel. Last year I had some grain stored in my garage, and did not realize it was drawing mice until my garage was overrun. I have used other traps in the past, but my husband always used this kind, and he always caught any mice that showed up. in our house, so I bought this box of 20 traps because I do not reuse them, just toss them in the garbage with the mouse still in the trap. I just kept trapping them until they were all gone. But this winter, though I have not had mice in my house in years, I saw one run between the wall and my fridge. I still had 4 traps left from last year so I started setting traps down in that small space between my fridge and the wall.There is one mistake that some people make, and then complain that the traps don't work. That is to use only peanut butter as bait, or too small a piece of cheese. Peanut butter is too soft, so if a mouse is careful he can lick it off without setting the trap off. My husband always used a good chunk of cheese that took up the whole metal tongue except where the latch goes, and he pressed the cheese hard onto the tongue, so it was not easy for the mouse to get it off the tongue. This year I did not have solid cheese, so I used grated cheese, squished it together tightly using a small dab of peanut butter to bond the cheese shreds together, then pressed it onto the tongue and mounded it up as much as would go on the tongue without interfering with the latch. The only time it failed to catch a mouse, is when I put a little too much peanut butter, and the mouse was able to steal it without setting off the trap. I re-set the same trap and it caught a mouse, so I know the trap was not faulty, just my bait. Between last year and this winter, I have used 18 traps and caught a mouse with every one. But I probably have more, so i am back to order more traps.Let me just conclude here, that there is no need to buy more expensive traps These may be a little more sensitive to set (I couldn't remember how, so I looked it up on you tube), but if you bait them right, and place them well, there could not be a more effective trap. The bait is most important, but if you use an adequate amount of firm cheese, press it onto the tongue well, then add a touch of peanut butter on the cheese, then set the trap, when these traps stop catching mice, its because your mice are all gone, or you need to find another place to set the traps.

Title: Trap works well, very reliable
Review: This trap works well. I jam one sunflower seed under the bait teeth and mice have to spring the trap to get it out, I find that more effective than the peanut butter or cheese bait which somehow they get off sometimes without springing the trap. My only complaint is that the individual plastic packaging isn't necessary. I'm trying not to buy unnecessary plastic and this is unnecessary.

Review: Had one small mouse sneak into my house while they were doing renovations downstairs. I'd see it at night sometimes but couldn't catch it. Tried a cage trap, but it would go in and steal the food and sneak out. Tried one of those plastic snap traps, same effect. Tried a glue trap, it walked right across and left a trail of tiny footprints. Finally got these and set them up last night. Woke up this morning to a dead mouse. Didn't even hear it at night. I'm going to leave a few more around just in case there are more.(Baited the trap with a bit of sliced cheese). Be careful not to snap it on your fingers. The trigger is very sensitive!
