I dont, but I still like the idea of how the mousetrap works. It catches multiple mice all night long and keeps them inside until you empty it, dispose of them or whatever. Clearish lid so you can see if you have caught a mouse or not. Works great............first night have mousies. you place it along a wall....no bait needed.......there is a little ramp they walk up and when the balance shifts weightwise it tips them into the inner area where they can freely walk around, but not get back out. the trap is then ready to catch the next mouse that comes along. Here it is ( most likely only available in AUSTRALIA ? Cost $24.95 at Bunnings. Others I have seen at bird supply stores cost twice that much. Kenh told me I wasted my money and it wouldnt work......he was wrong :rip: Link to comment

I thought I would bump this thread up as it is a good one.... and also because in the last 3 weeks, it has caught 3 mice. I just put it outside about an hour ago, and it has already done it's job. Great mouse trap, and best of all, it could be used in the aviary, safely. I only knew there was a mouse in there as one of my dogs had dragged the trap 2 metres across the concrete and he was trying to work out how to get it open, so he could kill the mouse that is in there. 1 more dead mouse!!!

I am very lucky as I have an "alarm" that goes off when a mouse is caught in the trap. Two alarms actually. See if you can spot them in the pics below. The mousetrap The inspection by my "alarms" All clear is sounded and my "alarms" move onto to inspect another site These are great traps. Only bad if you are squeamish about killing the mice afterward. I drown them then bin them. Simple as can be. Edited February 19, 2010 by Dave_McMinn Link to comment

Is it big enough to trap rats too, or just mice? Will have to check out Bunnings when I'm over that way next. Ta Link to comment

It caught the mother mouse and she was killed and binned. How do I know it was the mother mouse? Well, she looked very pregnant for the first thing, but that guarantees nothing. The real big bit of info is the fact that she must have been rushing home and got caught, as she had actually given birth to a baby mouse in there. It had died and she was trapped. I am so impressed with these mouse traps. The most effective ones I have ever seen. I will buy more and strategically place them around my aviaries and house. Link to comment
