Motel Mouse Humane No Kill Live Catch and Release Mouse Traps, Reusable with Cleaning Brush - 4 Pack

I swear I caught this mouse within the first 12 hours of using this product! I never had a mouse in my house before (that I know of). Sunday morning I saw this little guy run toward a hole in my wall (cable wire hole) I panicked because I knew that I could not kill him, but he needed to go. I did not want to hurt/stress him too much. I was nervous to use these traps; I had anxiety imagining the mouse thrashing/stressing because he was caught. (I considered not trapping him for a few moments because of this). I bought the Mouse Motel traps on Sunday afternoon via Amazon, they were delivered yesterday (Monday) and I put them out last night around 7PM. At 4:15AM today (Tuesday) I found him waiting for me. I drove 2 miles to a field to let him go. He seemed calm. On a scale of 1-10 of anxiety/stress, I expected this to be a 6 or 7 once caught to release; It was a 1. Other than going for a ride at 4:30AM to take him to a field a few miles away, it was 100% easy. I put a tiny size of peanut butter on a blueberry belVita cookie (cookie w/ PB smaller than dime) and put out 4 traps last night around 7PM.I NEVER write a review so quickly, but I had to with this. If you don't want a mouse running around, but you are afraid to trap it, this trap made it 100% non-stressful.

My husband and I have been debating about how to best catch a mouse in our home who had been getting into food and how to do so in a safe manner with our small dog. Mouse Motel seemed like a great option as it was safe, easy and humane which I’m glad to report it was! We caught our little guy after about an hour of setting the trap. We let him loose in the park nearby with some treats! 5/5, best $20 we have spent.

*** NEW UPDATE!*** If you have mice - BUY THESE!👍We had to disconnect our dryer while waiting for our new dryer to arrive and discovered mice were coming in through the disconnected dryer hose. In less than 24 hrs, we've caught 3 mice with this crazy - humane- trap! Could not be more pleased!Important for people to know that these are NOT suitable for RATS - rats will easily push the end out and escape.For little field mice - this is ideal!I've shared a photo of one I caught just 10 min ago - and how he's pushing the end open just a bit. This could be deadly for a mouse left in this trap too long - so be sure to check the trap(s) OFTEN. From here on out, I'll put a bit of tape over the end "seam" that I can easily remove after catching a mouse before releasing it - just to be safe.**UPDATED**I placed this trap inside a kitchen cabinet, where we had heard faint sounds of scratching & nibbling coming from behind the dishwasher. The trap had been there several days with no mouse - so we figured the mouse must have moved on (I saw it dash through an open patio door one day).But tonight - we heard a sound under the sink. Went to investigate - and voila! We have our mouse!The trap worked GREAT! I took it outside to an area that backs up to a park - and easily released it.** Point the end you open AWAY from you - lift the end cap "UP" - and watch as the mouse runs off. So easy.SO humane.I guess I'll forgive Amazon for sending me an opened/used product.Highly recommend!*For reviews stating the mouse/mice died - if its head was caught in the spring loaded trap door - that's because you DID NOT put the food back far enough!!!! The food must be ALL THE WAY to the end - by the end you open to release the mouse!!! If they had time to turn around to try to get out - that's because the food was NOT at the end! If the mice died because you took 3-4 days to check the trap - that is not the fault of the trap device.----------------------------------------------------Amazon delivered an opened package, where the contents were also clearly opened/used. For that - I give Amazon "0" stars. :(. That said, because I had an immediate need to trap a mouse that ran in through an open door, I had no choice but to keep it. So far - it has not trapped the mouse, but here are some helpful thoughts:1. EASY to operate... I do humane trapping of stray dogs/cats, and this is a well made product for something the size of a small house/field house.2. Humane. This will NOT inhumanely harm or kill a mouse.3. No-Touch method - you can save the mouse and easily release it in a field, where it can go on to do mouse things, and possibly feed raptors and other wildlife who depend on it for THEIR food.4. This is NOT suitable for rats!!!!! NOT FOR RATS! Rats are TOO large and can probably easily eat through the plastic.For those of you rolling your eyes at humane trapping - mice perform a vital function in the wild. They forage for bugs, and keep bug populations in control, and then they are a food source for our raptors, snakes & other creatures who also perform vial functions for wildlife habitats. Poisons, sticky traps, and "snap" traps are not only inhumane, but they cause great harm for unintended victims including small children, pets and wildlife.Please choose to be kind.

These traps do catch mice. I only use peanut butter now. I tried nuts, chocolate and peanut butter, but only caught with the peanut butter. They are kind of hard to clean. The included brush doesn't help. I dump the mouse in a bucket for later "release"...trying to transport and release the mouse from the trap is not easy. Some places I have tried the traps caught nothing. One trap has caught 5 so far. It's all about Location.

We’ve had a reverse “Three Blind Mice” story going on at our home for a couple weeks, except in under 12 hours we’re up to two seeing mice and a lazy blind cat. We opted for these traps for a variety of reasons (see previous sentence), and within hours of bating them with the same dry cat food the mice have been stealing right from under our blind cats nose, we had trapped not one, but TWO adorable criminals. We were able to rehome them back into the woods where they belong. Highly recommend!

Worked perfectly. It was easy to set and bait. We put it in our laundry room as a mouse had cone inside to get out of the massive amount of rain we've been getting. Within 2 hours of putting it down, we got the mouse, safe and sound. The size is good for most mice and maybe young rats.The mouse we caught was a jumping mouse, which is rare to see in our area as they are struggling so being able to catch and release it made me very happy.
