(More customer reviews)Why Opt for Non-lethal Methods of Rodent Control?

Traditional methods of rodent control, including rodenticides and traps, are lethal to mice and largely unsafe for humans. Rodenticides are pesticides that are designed to kill rodents. However, when ingested, they can also prove deadly to companion animals, as well as other wildlife and even children. Nor are they good for the environment; Americans are so fond of pesticides that they can now be found in our surface and ground water and soil. In fact, pesticides even find their way into the food chain! Moreover, the cumulative toxicity of pesticides is such a concern that the Environmental Protection Agency discourages homeowners from using pesticides before trying preventative strategies.

Lethal traps, while not harmful to humans, prove to be a torturous, barbaric death for those mice unlucky enough to find themselves caught in one. Mice trapped on "glue boards" usually starve to death - or may actually gnaw off a limb in order to escape. Likewise, those mice caught in "box" or "multiple" traps will suffer a slow death due to starvation - assuming that the trap isn't baited with poisons, of course. "Snap" or "spring" traps don't necessarily provide for a quick death and may merely injure Mickey.

Three cheers for you!...

Instead of relying on lethal, inhumane methods to control your rodent infestation, you've decided instead to try out a live catch mouse trap. You rock!

...but one star for the Victor Live Catch Mouse Trap.

The Victor Live Catch Mouse Traps are one of the least expensive models out there - and it shows.Simply put, they're more trouble than they're worth: they are hard to set, go off without warning, and (duh!), as they're constructed of solid plastic, it's impossible to see whether you caught a critter without opening the trap up.

I bought a dozen of these a few years ago, when I moved into a farm house that had sat vacant for about six months.My first winter spent in the country - in a home surrounded on three sides by alfalfa fields, nonetheless - I lost hundreds of dollars worth of food to the resident mouse family.After a few frustrating weeks using the Victor Live Catch Mouse Traps, I quickly caved in and replaced them with a dozen of the Smart Mouse Traps.This version works like a dream: they're easy to set, don't slam shut at random, and are made of semi-transparent green plastic, so you can easily glance inside in order to gauge your success. That first year, I caught dozens of little guys, all of which I released back into the fields (I've always wondered whether I trapped the same mouse twice!). Although I still get out the trusty Smart Traps every winter, the guests all seem to have departed.

Do yourself - and your furry houseguests - a favor: have a heart, spare the snap-trap, and buy a few Smart Mouse Traps.You'll be a better person for it!

(Note: The "Smart Mouse Traps" are also referred to as "Humane Mouse Traps"; though the name differs, they all have a distinct "house" shape and are constructed of semi-transparent green plastic.)
