Title: Not a Humane Option
Product review: After miserable luck with humane traps (the mice have all been able to get in, eat, and get out again) I bought these as an alternative to traditional traps, mostly for re-usability. However, both times they sprung and caught something, I was 'treated' to the manic thrashing of the trapped, mangled but very much alive mouse. The first time I lasted 20 mins before I gave up and finished the job myself. The second time, I did so as soon as I realized what the noise was.The problem is that the jaws don't snap together - there's about a 1/8 to 1/16th inch gap, which for these guys, is just enough to keep them alive. Traditional snap traps are a much better deal, even if disposable.
