A weather strip on our garage broke in the corner, and we didn’t notice it. Well, apparently, around the same time, the drought in the Midwest also made mice come through our area in droves. We started off using the snap traps, because we wanted to be “humane”, but then the little critters got wise and stopped getting caught in them. These traps were a saving grace! They are VERY sticky, and we haven’t had a single one get caught and then get away.My husband put them in a spot where we were pretty sure they were coming in (directly above our garage, where an internet cable runs through the floor of our second story). They were climbing the walls like Spider-Man, apparently. We were catching them one right after the other! I thought it would never end, but it has. After installing a new weather strip, we haven’t seen one in probably around a week.Now, I’m not going to lie to ya, it’s a grizzly matter: this WILL catch them, but you have to…”dispatch” them yourself. We used a 5 gallon bucket of water to…end their existence. I also suggest using an N95 mask and gloves when dealing with them, because the white-footed and deer variety are known to carry Hantaviruses, lymphatic bacteria, and other contagious pathogens in their urine and feces, and they WILL move around – wafting bacteria and viruses into the air! If you’re immunocompromised, it could spell disaster for your health, so I DEFINITELY recommend an N95 for folks who have lung issues and/or poor immune systems, smokers, etc, and anyone who just doesn’t want to risk catching a pulmonary or hemorrhagelic disease. Don’t take risks with your health. That said, if you want the job done fast (so that they don’t have time to breed and make more), these are great for that reason.Also, another thing to note, we have small children, and small children have questions and are curious. I do NOT recommend putting these traps down anywhere little hands and little eyes can touch or see them. It’s something we personally didn’t think about until it was too late, because our cat picked one up and dropped it on our 3-year-old’s blanket, and it BIT HER! A tetanus shot, antibiotic prescription, and ER visit later, and we sent our kids to Auntie’s and Grandma’s while we de-cluttered and hunted the little nuisances. Luckily, she seems to be okay – despite the ED physician refusing to give her the rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin (they didn’t even test the subject that bit her, and we took it with us!) So, again, don’t take any chances.These have been literal lifesavers. They are pretty big, you can fold them into a tunnel, of sorts, or link them together to ENSURE that nothing is able to move from one area to the next (we found this to be the best use of the linking capabilities: putting them across a threshold or along corners near the baseboards). You get quite a few in each pack, as well, so you don’t end up “wasting” them. We also bought the Tomcat variety, but these seemed to work better and we caught more with them (only caught two with the TC variety – OVER 20 with these).Despite not having seen any for a week or so, we’re keeping these on our subscribe list and swapping them out every week or so to make sure it never gets like it was! We also got the peanut butter scented ones, but neither of us detected a scent at all. That said, SOMETHING was drawing them to the traps. I hope the formula never changes, because these are the absolute BEST mouse traps.
