Kness Snap-E Mouse Trap 24-Pack

I'll post my review of this mouse trap here since I bought the 24 pack. I will forgo adding another 5-star review to single unit Kness Snap-E Mouse Trap and let the currently 201 reviews of the with an average 4.73 rating speak for themselves. These traps flat out work well...The packaging at this quantity/price point is nothing fancy--it's just a plastic bag full of 24 traps that cost less than half the cost of buying them individually. I've read and empirically concur that setting many traps is the best way to quickly eradicate these pesky rodents.Unlike the hooded D-Con traps that share the same trip mechanism they are easier to set and far easier to `empty'. Just hold over the garbage can, open the spring bar, and shake the dead critter off... I reuse the traps and have one trap that I now call the Chris Kyle trap, which due to its strategic placement has over a half dozen kills.The traps do flip over when they snap, but once that happens its time to empty and re-bait the trap anyway... So if you are worried where the traps might fall upon snapping, I would secure them as a previous reviewer suggested or use the aforementioned hooded D-Con traps as they tend not to move due to the added bulk of the hood.

I really hate killing anything. I rent a garage for an art studio and it gets mice in the walls every spring. I can't risk them eating the electrical wiring, so I have to resort to killing them. :( I've tried the traps that keep them alive with no luck at ever capturing any. I've also tried every form of snapping mouse trap on the market so far. This is the only one that actually WORKS! It's fast and strong and kills them immediately. No suffering. And it's easy to use with the additional bar that prevents you from coming into contact with the carcass. I will never use any other type of trap unless I can find one that will trap them without harm. This has by far been the most effective in reducing the suffering by shoddy traps that don't do the job right immediately.

This trap is so much easier to set than the cheap Victor snap traps. With the latter we found 2/3 of the time the trap had sprung but no mouse(and PB) were in it. Also, with the last package of Victors we tried it was impossible to set the trap in the armed position (it kept closing). I called customer service and they were very nice and replaced the traps but the new ones had the same problem. The only downside to the Kness traps it that we discard them with each catch and they are very pricey. One hint with the traps is to use a binder clip (or 2) to hold the trap firmly on a paper plate. Otherwise, this trap (and others like it) have a tendency to flip over upon catching a mouse.

We have been using Snap-E mouse traps for years. Our house is in a rural area and we get an onslaught of field mice every fall when it starts getting cold outside.I have found these traps very effective compared to the others we've tried, and we've tried a bunch. Misfires are rare, and setting them is rather fool proof. Just put peanut butter in the bait bowl and push the lever down until it locks. I've only lost a few of them because our dog chewed them up. Apparently his love of peanut butter exceeds his fear of getting his tongue snapped.These are more expensive than your standard wooden snap trap, but since they work so much better I think they're a far better value.Buying them in bulk results in the best price, so I recommend it.

These traps work great and you just wash them to use again. Sure they cost more but in the long run you will save money. Thank You

Great easy set traps that catch mice!
