What is the most amount of mice you have caught in the trap at once?

I caught 2 at a time on a couple of occasions. Silly me, I thought we had "a" mouse in the house. Turns out I caught well over 20 over the course of 2 weeks.

I bought 5 and all were perfect. I would suggest to take the batteries out and reinstall and see if that fixes it. If not contact Victor. Sorry I couldn't help more. We put 5 traps on 3 floors and took care of all the mice in 24 hours.

When I received mine it had 6 traps big and small. It also had a few blooms on it where new traps were growing.

It is very small unit. We did not use due to our "mice" or rats being too big. I would think only one at a time, even if they are truly mice.

no, the first mouse gets caught, the other mice get the bait, that is why I don't fill the bait holder all the way up, I have caught 1 mouse, went back re-set the trap and before I can sit back down in my chair I have caght a second mouse (don't feed them bait them). Always put the trap facing the wall because they will run along the wall and step into the trap. by the way I have use several types of traps, these are by far the best for me, they have caught mice and large wood rats. good luck kurt

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

The traps are just big enough for 2 field mice;however once 1 has been trapped it's not likely another will attempt to go in for the food. These traps work extremely well , and fast. Put a little bit of peanut butter on a small piece of a cracker, place it inside the trap. Then smear just a hint of the peanut butter on the outside of the door. I suggest you purchase several traps and spread them out...check them often!! Empty the trap w/each catch...then put them back again for more. (make sure there is still bait.) I caught 4 mice in as many traps w/in 1 hour of setting them up..as soon as the lights went out.

no, any peanut butter will work. Place the traps along the walls where the mice travel or bear any openings line drains where they travel. I keep my traps set long after I catch the last mouse because where there are 1 or 2, there is likelt to be a whole family

I just received mine and it only included One Trap. I contacted Amazon by Chat and they said that all they could do was issue a prepaid credit and send me a return label and suggested I reorder. I suggested they notify the seller but it looks like they won't. So I am reordering. Please make sure that this order from Patrick Babcock contains 4. Thank you kindly.

Mine were not sticky enough flat, I did have better luck with the traps folded into tubes. But finally went to the nuclear option with rodenticide laced bait at my camp search 1412718573. At home I prefer the cat option (I think the cat smell deters the brighter critters).

This trap will only catch 1 mouse or chipmunk at a time. If you have a mouse infestation, a water bucket trap may work better (although heartless).

I purchased mine specifically for chipmunks, in the first month I've got 24 chipmunks, 2 mice and 1 squirrel. I think it must have been a tight fit for the squirrel, but the chipmunks can get in very easy. I've been using peanut butter in a plastic cap for bait.

Four traps. I have been using these traps for years and they are great. I much prefer these humane traps to traps that kill, but don't leave the mice waiting in them too long. They can be rinsed out, but if they get really stinky you can put them upside down in the top shelf of the dishwasher, with the flap door folded back inside.

I believe this size trap is too big for mice. They either dont trip the bar or they slip through the mesh. Mine traps chipmunks successfully so I image it would trap like-sized rats.

I didn't use any mouse attractant. I used with bait only. I used veggies to get rid of voles and peanut butter for mice. Some times the trigger didn't seem to lock but if I shook off or tapped on a hard surface to shake off any dirt, the trigger locked fine.

I captured the results on video tape. I had mine in a 10' X 10" laundry room 3' from point of entry and it became an eventual deterrent to mice. After they had reentered once or twice they decided not to come back. A rat we had required other measures.

I don't think so. There are two metal plates toward the back of the trap by the bait. It's only when a mouse/rat crawls in there far enough that they step on both plates, completing the circuit, and get shocked. Something going in only two/few inches wouldn't connect both plates.
