Just bought these traps. Went to purchase and realized that I was being charged $20 shipping for 5 traps. EntirelyPets charges $4.00 per trap! Outrageous. There are several others that charge a total of about $4-5 for your order.
Now – to the trap itself: best trap out there. I’ve tried electronic humane traps as well as many, many different snap traps. These work very well. Deep well in which to put the food. It has snapped a couple of times without leaving the guilty party but that is probably inevitable. Bottom line: great trap, very inexpensive. I’ve never been able to find it anywhere except amazon.

I bought three of these to rid my garage of a mice problem. I wasn’t sure if a $1.99 product would do the trick, but I wanted to try it first before I bought one the more hi-tech ones like the electric zappers. The box arrived in only three days, even though I chose the least expensive shipping option. I had my finger smashed by one of the cheap wooden traps when I was a kid, so I was worried about setting these traps. I was disappointed that there weren’t really any instructions. Just sort of a picture on a sticker on the bottom of the trap. However, it was extremely easy to set. You just need to pull back the vertical bar so the yellow bar rises by 90 degrees. Then you sort of jiggle it so the platform “catches”, and that’s it. I was a bit nervous that it would snap when I set it on the floor, but that hasn’t been a problem. I’ve set all three traps for four nights in a row now, and so far I’ve caught ten lucky mice. I use a tiny piece of ham lunch meat as the bait. The other cool thing is that there’s no blood or anything. I thought it would pop their heads or something, but I guess it just breaks their necks. Gross, I know, but we are talking about killing mice here, not catch and release. By the way, I paid an exterminator $200 about a year ago to get rid of mice in our crawl space. His solution? Set the same type traps that I could have used myself. Anyway, this trap works very well. Order several or you’ll just be catching a couple at a time and it will take longer to solve the problem.

Out of the two that I was sent, one was working. It wasn’t worth sending the non working one back. The one that did work was easy to set, was sensitive. Only downside I see is you have metal on plastic, so it may wear out over time. The mice have not come in numbers yet. So I am using three different products to try and catch them.

These traps worked great when the old style wooden ones wouldnt. The mice in my shed would just eat all the bait off the trigger and go on their merry way. Incredibly easy to set, just pull down the back lever and the trigger clicks into place and is ready to go, your fingers never have to get within range of the bar. I put down four of these traps, next day, 4 dead mice, empty, reset, repeat. Very happy with the purchase, by winter I doubt there will be any mice left to eat my window screens and live in my carburetors. Hasta la vista mice!

I am not exaggerating with the title of this review. The trap came in the mail today, I set it up in the kitchen after dinner, went out for milk, and came back to find my furry nemesis finally dead.
I was sick and tired of finding mouse droppings on my kitchen counter. The only mouse traps I had in the house were the old-timey ones and some plastic newer ones. The old school design made me nervous to set it up and sometimes mice can easily snatch food off of those without triggering the trap. The latter also happened for the plastic ones.
After a quick search on google, I found a youtube video. It showed the old school trap being tried first: the mouse came out of hiding at about 4:20 a.m., and the mouse nibbled on the bait and escaped unscathed. Then the video showed the Snap-E Mouse trap: out came the mouse, it stepped on the paddle, and SNAP, it was all over. Impressed, I looked it up on amazon and ordered it immediately.
The trap is very easy to set up and to disengage. Simply pull back the snap until it locks. To disengage, FIRST hold onto the metal part of the trap with your thumb FIRMLY, then press the paddle, and ease the trap shut.
The best part of the trap is in how it holds the bait. There is a little round bait well that you see in the center of the target area. Unlike other traps, it is not attached to the pressure paddle, it’s attached to the base instead. When you engage the trap, the pressure paddle comes UP AROUND the bait well, thus leaving the mouse no choice but to step on the paddle to reach the bait! So long as you have the bait sticking out far enough to get the mouse’s attention, but deep enough where it has no choice but to step on the pressure paddle, SNAP! Down comes the trap and the little intruder is dead. When you have caught a mouse, it’s very easy to grab the trap from one end and squeeze it to let the mouse out. When you’re done, wash it off, and it’s ready for another go!
This is a cheap, easy-to-use, cleverly designed product. Set it up correctly in the place where the mice steal food and leave little “presents”, and you’re good to go.
