Victor M393 Power-Kill Easy Set Mouse Trap - 3 Reusable Mouse Traps

They say build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door. If this is true, Victor should have at least half the global population knocking on their door, because they really have built a better mousetrap.Every year before the monsoon season hits here in AZ, I have a mouse problem. I have used sticky traps, the old style spring traps, some nights I was even ready to sit by the bait and crack them in the head with a baseball bat. This year I was in need of new traps as the old spring ones were pulling apart. I accidentally ordered these, meaning to be buying another product. Am I glad I made that mistake!Baiting these is a piece of cake. Setting these is a snap - and the best part is you don't GET snapped! There is no adjustment of the trigger wire, just pull it down until the bar catches. The BEST part is no premature snapping! I have one spot I have to set that is really difficult to get to and with this trap I can easily position it with no smashed fingers!It kills the little critters - first time, every time. And when it does, it pops the one part of the bar mechanism up so you can EASILY pick up the trap without getting close to the dead rodent. Disposal is quick, clean and easy. It's made out of easily washed plastic so if one of them does somehow manage to dirty it up, it's easily cleaned. And not having a wood base means there are no staples to work their way loose over time rendering the trap useless.I know it's a little weird to be so enthralled by a mouse trap, but this one is really really really good! Easy to use, easy to set, VERY effective, and looks to be long lasting. One of the three caught 14 mice in three weeks and it's STILL going strong.I can't recommend these strongly enough. If you have unwelcome furry little visitors, you really need these traps!Update: I gave two of the three I originally purchased to a neighbor with a mouse problem. The past two weeks I had little creatures making my home their home again. I set several of the older style traps and one of these. They made off with one of the old traps - I still haven't found that sucker! And tripped several of them. This style caught two on different nights. Soooo I declared war! Got six of these delivered yesterday and set them up last night.This morning I had FIVE out of the six holding very dead mice of varying sizes. And the bait was still in the trap -all I had to do was pull back the bar and put them back in position after disposing of the dead mice. I LOVE these traps! They kill cleanly, quickly, efficiently and are a breeze to set and "unload" the dead bodies.

This trap works very well. I have not had a single live, injured or mamed mouse after roughly 20 kills. Each and every time it is a quick kill. These are used in the basement where mouse activity has been observed and traps are easily accessible.I put peanut butter in the bait holder and the original bit is still there after 5 months. I have found these traps last a lot longer than the standard wooden traps. I bought a three pack of the wooden ones and two of those broke after a few weeks and 3-4 mice each. I have also used the one with the large red kill bar, also from Victor, and found them to be very ineffective. Either the mice don't trip them or they aren't able to. The couple of times these have tripped no mice were caught or the mouse wasn't killed immediately. I will not buy this type again.Each of these M143S traps has lasted for over 5 months and numerous kills.As other reviewers stated, these traps are also very easy to set. They are much easier than the standard wooden ones. Pull back on the back part of the kill bar and it locks into place. You never have to touch the part of the bar that contacts the mouse, if you don't want to, making this more hygenic than the wooden ones. When setting these, you don't have to worry about snapping your finger(s).One trap is a bit finicky about latching, but it is still effective at trapping. For this I would subtract 1/4 star, if possible. Two out of three work flawlessly and the one finicky one is only a very minor nuisance.Bottom line:I would buy these again and I am considering buying more for placing in different locations of the house.Pros- cost effective, easy to bait/set/empty, great bait retention, effective kills, good durabilityCons- traps don't carry the mice to the trashcan and empty themselves or pick up mouse poopIf these ever stop working, I will buy them again.

Pros Easy to set Easy to dispose of mouse Reliable tripCons Not the best at killing the mouseAfter a couple of house projects that had open holes to the outside, I found that some mice had decided to take up residence with me and start their own family. I had some of the old pedal style traps that the bate holder acts as the trip. They got the aggressive eaters that pulled on the bate pedal, but I was left with the clever mice that ate the bate without pulling on the pedal. I decide I needed a different trap and the M143S looked perfect. The pedal around the bate meant the mouse would have to trigger it to get the bate. I caught the remaining three mice in less than a day.To dispose of the mouse you do not need to touch the jaw that kills the mouse, which is more sanitary than the old pedal type. Very little, if any, bate had been eaten, showing it tripped quickly.The only thing the old pedal type trap did better was kill the mouse. I always tie my trap to something with a string just in case. The pedal type always killed the mouse, and in one case fractured the skull. The first mouse this trap caught, was still alive. I took it outside and it ran off when I released it. The second and third mouse were dead, but clearly had struggled and pulled the string tight that I had tied to the trap. The jaw wire that kills the mouse is a larger diameter than the wire on my pedal traps, so it has less PSI to kill the mouse. The jaw also only travels 90 degrees instead of the 180 degrees on the pedal trap, so less momentum. I strongly suggest tying the trap to something.

Las medidas reales son 5cm x 10cm de lo demas si son resistentes y funcionan bien
