Used to use these and they worked everytime. Years later now with new cubes and this mouse is getting out after eating bait. How?

Some mice are just smart. No trap works on all of them. With the MiceCubes, the main way a mouse gets around them is by turning them over before they go through the door. That way the door stays open. Putting a soup can on top of the trap should eliminate that from happening. And of course, you're going to occasionally get some "Super Mice" who actually go in, eat and then can somehow get that door back open and get out or some that chew their way out. If you're having that kind of trouble, try a different kind of mouse catcher like a metal multi catch trap or the smart mouse trap(both are humane catch and release traps.) Not all mouse traps work on all mice. Simple as that. Fortunately there's a few different styles so if you're dealing with a super mouse, one of the styles will likely be his kryptonite. Some mice and their ability to escape from traps is nothing short of amazing. I swear some of these guys wear capes!

Smart Mouse? Iv'e never had mice escape B4! The only thing I can suggest is to check traps more often so they won't have as long to figure out an escape plan.

I used this product to keep mice from coming in around the window frames of our lake home. Worked great & totally effective. After using this product I trapped the mice in the cabin and have not had any more in almost 3 years. Don't know about using around heat & food

Yes! I bought these about 10 months ago in Nov. 2013 and plugged them up on counters as well as near the floors in pantry. Last year where mice and problems were everywhere, now are empty mice traps and no mouse problems! They definitely work!

I haven't used them in cold weather yet, but here is a tip for you. Place fresh "Bounce" dryer sheets where the mice come in to keep them out. Mice are repelled by them. We had an issue with mice chewing the wires on our riding lawnmower. No more problems since we used the "Bounce". The mouse traps have pretty much got rid of our mouse problems in our home. They tend to work better if you put a little something in the middle for bait.

As the Maintenance Manager for my company's Office and warehouse I have used these glue traps, but have not caught any mice in them... mainly bugs and spiders. I did catch a bird in the trap recently!

yes, that's exactly what i use these for and they work great. i've used this for a few years and have had no problem with the trap deteriorating or losing effectiveness. i actually use rat poison (contrac blox) to bait the trap which attracts the rats but not the ants. i also bait some mouse traps because this is too large for a mouse to trigger and i have periodic mouse and rat incursions. (i live in a rural area with neighbors that have horses and therefore lots of food for rodents.)it's easy to bait with no risk of injury (except for the rat) and it's easy to dispose of the rat without touching the rat (or any part of the trap in contact with the rat). yes, that's exactly what i use these for and they work great. i've used this for a few years and have had no problem with the trap deteriorating or losing effectiveness. i actually use rat poison (contrac blox) to bait the trap which attracts the rats but not the ants. i also bait some mouse traps because this is too large for a mouse to trigger and i have periodic mouse and rat incursions.

Mice just steal from my trap. Bought a second trap, same thing. The trap cannot detect them. Called and emailed Raticator, but they did not reply.

I wipe mine inside and out with one of those bleach wipes every 4-5 kills. Obviously turn the unit off first. Much better than snap traps, glue pads and the so called humane traps. This is the only thing that worked for me.

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

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.

I have used these for years. All service people comment on how I have no spider webs in my cellar, and I can't say every mouse steps on one, but I do catch mice. I do not fold them. I just lay them flat, sometimes tape them to the walls. I have no complaints except that the last batch I ordered was much smaller in size than what I used to get....

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.

I have the Victor or Catchmaster Tin Cat Clear Top (2 Pack) which I think is this same trap. I have had good results with my traps catching over 30 mice in the past couple years (we have wood heat and they sneak in with the wood), I clean it after each use - easy with a clorox wet wipe. This is a humane trap so you have to release them yourself but it is not difficult at all, I have never had any trouble - simply go a good distance from your home, set it down and open top, step back and off they go.

We were over a year without signs of mice, but rencently had a few signs. Might work to switch to a different type. Victor makes a big model that worked well for a couple of years in my summer camp, but also recently had mice around - scat right in front of the device. It might help to switch them.

The trap must be reset after it goes off however I have found two mice in it at once. I think however they went in together.

I don't see how but mine has trapped a mouse a day since buying these. I think you have a small mouse
