and how it work

it work by a mouse going in and its like a ramp that drops down to a hole into the holding part and when the mouse goes down a little flap comes up to block the entrance and i still wont be able to get out the other entrance
the only proplem with it its disposal of the live mice as you have to completly remove the lid so you would have to let them out into a bucket of somekind
ill let use know how it goes

thanks chris

couldnt/wouldnt waste good fumes on mice.
just drop the trap into a bucket of water for a few minutes. any mice in it would be dead and the trap has been cleaned ready to go again

Dropping the trap into a bucket of water for 5mins before opening it is definately the way to go.
Unless you have a competent mouse catcher pet in which case drop the mice out of the trap into a 44 gallon drum, follow up with your over excited pet and watch the excitement.
OOPS
Sorry.
Forgot some people disaprove. :oops:
But thats how we always did it.
