Catchmaster1872SD Mouse Insect and Snake Glue Boards, 4-Pack

I have to say I was hopeful but skeptical as to how these would work. Well I am no longer skeptical. These traps work very well. For several nights my wife and I sat and watched mice run past the standard traps that we set and this "group" of mice was completely uninterested in our traps and the peanut butter we used to set them. They would not even slow down to investigate them. I decided that it might be worth trying the glue boards as the mice would think they could run right over them. It took 2 days and all 4 boards caught a mouse. They do the job and I am very happy with the results.Now for the "bad". These boards smell to high heaven. When we got them I had the misfortune to breath in as I opened the package and about passed out from the smell, alright it wasn't that bad but it was pretty bad. Secondly I could see where a mouse might be able to get off the board if it only is caught on the edge of the glue. 3 of the 4 I caught were dead center and had no chance of getting off, but the 4th one was more toward the edge and it was wiggling in good shape and if I hadn't been right there I am not sure if he could have gotten away or not. It was still stuck good but part of its body was off the board. Lastly when dealing with the stuck mouse those that are a little squeamish may not appreciate these boards. The mice will wiggle and they stay alive a long time. I ended up turning the boards into "sandwiches", folding them over so the mouse was totally surrounded by the glue.I give the boards 5 stars because they do what they are suppose to do. They managed to catch our family of picky eater mice. They might smell bad and you have to watch the mice wiggle but I can over look that because they get the job done.

As a product, I found these to be great! I have an issue in my basement with camel crickets, so I placed some of these traps where I had spotted them and within the short time of overnight I found a whole bunch of the pests stuck to the traps, so I would definitely say these traps are effective at luring pests! The only issue I had with them was I found that when I was laying the traps out, the odor, from whatever the bait is I assume, was very strong and made me dizzy and nauseous. It was not as potent the next day, but I would still be more reluctant at laying these traps out in an area that was not out of sight and where there would be people.

Works great

Stumbled across this product because we were trying to catch a rat. The rat was too large for this product and it didnt work for that. We had no idea we would catch all other types of random insects that would probably otherwise be wondering around our home. We have a small crack in our back door seal. so we sat one by the back door. We've caught spiders, small lizards, other weird looking bugs/tiny beetles, ants. Small insects dont stand a chance. I love this product! I just ordered more to put in our garage. Oh, we dont fold the sheet into the box, we just lay it flat and it works wonders! No bugs!! If the sheet fills up or starts looking creepy, I get my boys (ages 16 and 8) to change it out!

We have had a mouse problem in the house for over a year and occasionally one our cats would nail one. We finally determined they were coming in from a small crack in the garage and living in the wall behind our dryer. I put one of these down next to the crack and within 12 hours the entire mouse family came out of the wall and was captured. I found the first three early in the morning, dropped them into a box and put down a fresh trap and caught two more. Incredible! Had been using the TOMCAT glue boards in the garage for over a year and only caught one mouse (a lot of bugs though).My advice however is not to tell your daughter you have five live mice in a box. This resulted in a long saga of where and how to release them, get them off of the glue boards, etc. Many tears and you can imagine how this went. Anyway according to my wife and daughter the five mice were alive when finally released albeit with a bit of torn fur and mouse skin, and one of them bit my daughter's finger (wear gloves and use olive oil on the mice after first putting talc on the boards to prevent further mouse parts from sticking to them).Update: A much improved method for removing mice from glue boards is to use paint thinner or turpentine. Point the mouse (glue board) in the direction you want it to run. Slowly pour onto the board over the tail and then ahead of and where the mouse is stuck. The glue melts very quickly and the mouse will run away. No harm to the mouse. Voila!
