Indoor Instant Control Chipmunk Reusable Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "But these traps have been PERFECT! The mice are losing their heads."
• "Arrived on time and caught 7 mice in two hours! Love that they are instant kill so they don’t suffer."
• "Within 15 minutes of placing the trap it had caught a mouse. Over the next week it caught a total of 8 mice."
• "I use peanut butter to fill the bait cup and they don’t allow any escapees or wounded ones."
• "I caught my first mouse within 1/2 an hour of putting out a trap in broad daylight and less than 3 feet from me."
• "Caught 3 mice without 48 hours. They work like a charm and cannot bear the price."
• "In less than 24 hours these mouse killers took out mom and pop and the 7 kids."
• "I bought these traps and read about melting Hersey kisses and placing into the traps. These traps were perfect for this, making it hard for the critters to get the food."

Cons:

• "I have had many sprung with no mouse caught. I think it is the crows."
• "They are instant kill for the first 5 or so mice then they start catching them by the leg or miss them completely."
• "Once set off, they don't set again very easily or consistently. I've had to throw a few of them away because they won't reset."
• "Unfortunately my mouse must’ve been smart. It was able to eat the food within the circle without pressing the pad to activate it."
• "Bought these for our new house that sat vacant for a while and became home to some mice. Night one, we did catch one but since that first catch, they got smart and are just eating the peanut butter but not triggering the trap."
• "I have mice in my apartment occasionally and keep these traps set most of the time. Occasionally I’ll get a mouse, have caught probably 10 in the last year."
• "I saw evidence of mice. Tried the wooden traps. Mouse licked the peanut butter off them without even setting the trap off."
• "I used cheese and peanut without a single hit. I used the same bait and amounts with old fashioned wood traps and had success within hours."

Design and Safety

Pros:

• "The little food slot being separate from where the mice have to touch/step on to spring the trap makes it so easy to use and re use."
• "I was concerned about placing the trap in an area where our dogs might trip it, discovered that the trap is the perfect size to fit inside an empty 'Pringles' can."
• "They are also easy to move around without as much fear of losing a finger as the old style wood traps."
• "They are easy to set and clean and it's great how sensitive the trigger is."
• "I love the removable bait bowls on this trap design and that you access the bowls from the bottom of the trap, which means you will never have to put your fingers in-between the jaws of the trap."
• "Highly recommend this product to use. She has caught around 10mice in her house using these. We just started to use them and I have to say they are easy to use."
• "I like how the design only allows the mice to approach the bait through the teeth of the trap. I also really like how you load the bait through the bottom so I don’t have to risk my fingers."
• "We find these traps to be highly sensitive – so keep your fingers and toes well away from them, and them out of the reach of children and pets."

Cons:

• "But the traps are so light, that both times, it only caught the mouse by its leg."
• "The only ones that were set off had mice in them. They work like a charm!!! Highly recommend. Easy to set, safety features for setting the bait, and reusable!"
• "It wasn't quite powerful enough to kill the rat, but I was able to pick it up by the trap and safely put it into a jar to let it suffocate."
• "I had first bought the super sticky pad trap. It caught the mouse but escaped tearing its leg. That is not humane."
• "One of the traps, my father heard struggling for up to 5 hours before it finally died."
• "Terrible. I don't mind killing mice but I want to do so in a humane way. Put 1 down and had a mouse within 30 minutes."
• "I have a herd of mice in my house! I’ve tried several things. This was my last resort. I set all 6 traps in various spots I know they frequent around 10 pm last night."
• "I bought a six-pack of these traps and placed them sporadically around my crawl space using peanut butter as bait."
