MOUSE TRAP INFO

[old keeper]

For years I've used the tried and trusted Little Nipper traps for mice, also Selfsets. Both have served me well but now I need replacements!
Looking online there seem to be all sorts of weird and wonderful traps now available. Has anyone any recommendations as to if any of these new models work better than the old ones?

They are almost identical to some I picked up recently at my local country supplies.
They work very well, instant death and the benefit of not having to re-bait after each activation.

I’ve just moved into an old place, I have had 22 mice in 8 days with these off Amazon and some “ripe” Gouda.

As Stevec66. These are probably one of the best traps available. Don’t overload with bait, just fill the cup and place nose in against the wall.

I would also recommend screwing the trap to a piece of wood, it keep the trap in place when it goes off - and all the energy goes into the mouse so it kills cleanly, as opposed to it throwing the trap in the air etc

Yep, another vote for these. One-handed setting, no need to rebait, and very easy to dispose of the dead mouse simply by opening the trap to reset it

I use nut-flavored chocolate spread.

Chicken works SURPRISINGLY well

I find these really good, with some chocolate spread in the bait pot.
