D-Con Ultra Set Covered Mouse Trap
This little gem has caught five mice so far this spring. Once it nabs one, all I have to do is pick up the box and release the lever over the trash can. The little carcass drops neatly into the trash. You never touch it. Then you can re-set the trap and put it right back down. That's it.
UPDATE: Caught another one this morning. That's six now. I heart this mousetrap. If you're wondering why we have so many mice, it's because we live in a VERY old house (120 years old) and there are way too many little places where mice like to live and make baby mice. Plus, they're quite fond of Bijou's food dish. So we have started putting her food dish down only at certain times when we're in the kitchen, and then we put it away. I baited the trap with a little peanut butter and then stuck one little Iams nugget into the peanut butter. Apparently it's irresistible to mice. And the thing about this trap is that the mouse never gets to the bait before triggering the mechanism. So once I baited the trap, I have never had to re-bait it yet.
We have used the d-Con bait in the past, also with great success. The only drawback to it is that the mice die somewhere you can't get to, and then you have to smell it for a while. The bait boxes have been relegated to the cellar and the crawl spaces, since they won't be offensive there. And we use the trap in the kitchen.
UPDATE 2: Got another one! That makes seven. I LOVE THIS MOUSETRAP! Sorry, BlogDog, I don't think it's quite big enough to catch the little squinnies that are overrunning your yard... maybe you could suggest it to the d-Con people?

Sounds like a great mousetrap. I just pulled a fifth mouse out of the same regular Victor mousetrap in one evening. The fifth was caught just as I was dozing off to sleep. I am now wide eyed with Mouse Death and cannot return to sleep. #5 went like #3 and #4, skull crushed, though not nearly as bloody as #3.
