Summary: tin cat works great
Comment: WORKS GREAT, HAVE COUGHT DOZENS OF MICE, EASIER TO SEE IF YOUV'E COUGHT ANY MICE THAN WITH THE SOLID GALVANIZED LID. WORKS BEST BAITED WITH PEANUTBUTTER, PLACED ALONG A WALL OR IN A CORNER. IF IN A WELL LIT AREA BETTER IF COVERED WITH A PIECE OF CARDBOARD TO DARKEN THE TRAP. NOT BEING A MOUSE LOVER I DO DROP THE TRAP IN A BUCKET OF WATER AND DISPOSE OT THE MICE LATER.
I'VE USED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE HOUSE BUT USE MOSTLY IN MY HORSE BARN. IT DOES TEND TO RUST WITH EXPOSURE TO HAY SALT AND WATER BUT THEY LAST FOR MANY YEARS

Summary: tincat
Comment: The design for this multiple mouse trap looked pretty good except the mice avoid it. Never caught a single mouse in it. I am back to using Havahart traps and glue traps, latter ones I don't like. I would not recommend spending money on the tin-cat.

Summary: Works like a champ!!
Comment: This is a great trap. I bought a vacant house from the bank. It had been basically abandoned for over a year. Of course the mice moved in and it soon became infested with mice. I've been using 4 of these traps in the house for the past 3 weeks. I have been emptying them daily. Some granolla in the middle and you're set. Great trap excellent design. These are the same traps used by large food processing facilities grain suppliers. I would opt for the metal one as opposed to plastic.

Summary: Works like the "Pied Piper"
Comment: I have had a serious mouse problem for several years, and after having limited success with the small, 1-mouse-at-a-time traps, ordered this one. I'm catching 2-3 mice per night with this trap, using only a cracker with peanut butter on it as bait. Easy to clean, too. I highly recommend it for soft-hearted folks like myself who can't bring themselves to use lethal mouse control, but still want to get rid of the little critters.

Summary: Must depend on the mind-set of your mice
Comment: I notice from reviews that this trap seems to work very well for some people, and hardly or not at all for others. I'm in the latter category. Two nights so far with two traps have caught nothing. First night with one Electronic trap caught a mouse. Same bait (peanut butter) same general location. Looks like Tin Cat ought to work, but so far hasn't for me. My guess is that different colonies of mice have different attitude to the sort of entrance this trap presents. No way to tell ahead of time if "your" mice will enter this trap or not.
I'm also uneasy about how humane this trap really is. I suspect that house mice released in the wild don't fare very well. The Electronic trap can only get one mouse at a time, but death is probably instantaneous. Speaking for myself, I'd rather be killed by a high-voltage discharge than be eaten by an owl.
