Seems cruel, but can't argue with results!

a weather strip on our garage broke in the corner and we didnt notice it well apparently around the same time the drought in the midwest also made mice come through our area in droves we started off using the snap traps because we wanted to be humane but then the little critters got wise and stopped getting caught in them these traps were a saving grace they are very sticky and we havent had a single one get caught and then get awaymy husband put them in a spot where we were pretty sure they were coming in directly above our garage where an internet cable runs through the floor of our second story they were climbing the walls like spiderman apparently we were catching them one right after the other i thought it would never end but it has after installing a new weather strip we havent seen one in probably around a weeknow im not going to lie to ya its a grizzly matter this will catch them but you have todispatch them yourself we used a 5 gallon bucket of water toend their existence i also suggest using an n95 mask and gloves when dealing with them because the whitefooted and deer variety are known to carry hantaviruses lymphatic bacteria and other contagious pathogens in their urine and feces and they will move around  wafting bacteria and viruses into the air if youre immunocompromised it could spell disaster for your health so i definitely recommend an n95 for folks who have lung issues andor poor immune systems smokers etc  and anyone who just doesnt want to risk catching a pulmonary or hemorrhagelic disease dont take risks with your health that said if you want the job done fast so that they dont have time to breed and make more these are great for that reasonalso another thing to note we have small children and small children have questions and are curious i do not recommend putting these traps down anywhere little hands and little eyes can touch or see them its something we personally didnt think about until it was too late because our cat picked one up and dropped it on our 3yearolds blanket and it bit her a tetanus shot antibiotic prescription and er visit later and we sent our kids to aunties and grandmas while we decluttered and hunted the little nuisances luckily she seems to be okay  despite the ed physician refusing to give her the rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin they didnt even test the subject that bit her and we took it with us so again dont take any chancesthese have been literal lifesavers they are pretty big you can fold them into a tunnel of sorts or link them together to ensure that nothing is able to move from one area to the next we found this to be the best use of the linking capabilities putting them across a threshold or along corners near the baseboards you get quite a few in each pack as well so you dont end up wasting them we also bought the tomcat variety but these seemed to work better and we caught more with them only caught two with the tc variety  over 20 with thesedespite not having seen any for a week or so were keeping these on our subscribe list and swapping them out every week or so to make sure it never gets like it was we also got the peanut butter scented ones but neither of us detected a scent at all that said something was drawing them to the traps i hope the formula never changes because these are the absolute best mouse traps
