These are a one time use trap! Two of the three traps I purchase broke after catching one mouse. If you want something that is reusable DON'T BUY THE MINI-TREX. Can anyone tell me of some better traps!  Thanks

Both mice and customers beware; the Mini T-Rex is a poorly constructed trap made of cheap plastic. I ordered several of them. Three of them were broken on arrival. So far, I have deployed five of these traps. Three of them were of no use after a single catch. The act of catching a mouse actually did irreparable damage to the trap. One can see where the lever and the catch-bar are broken, but nothing can be done to repair the trap. Do not buy this item. It is simply not sturdy enough.

This seems like overkill for a 3 ounce Animal. I found two birds trapped in them, I release them, but they were damaged. Would it be better for nature and the environment to seal up entrances to homes and properly store food to avoid enticing animals in your homes which we then feel compelled to kill? A lot of plastic created for an absurd reason, that'll be around for thousands of years as well.

These are easy to use traps and they seem to do a good job of catching mice. They have to be open, though to put the bait in and that is a little hard to do. Also, after catching the first mouse in one, the trap wouldn't reset and actually broke. I have had similar types of traps in the past from another company and they were better. Easier to put the bait in and didn't break.

After 3 settings, traps will not reset. The traps work well, when new.

Love the look, feel, ease of settingand use - but have not caught a mouse with it as of yet. The bait has been eaten - but the trigger release must not be sensitive enough to set off the trap. Will continue trying. Have used for two weeks.

I have caught some but most of the time they take the bait and get away without setting the trap ,so it does catch them but I wouldn't mine not giving them free meals as often

Mice are able to take bait without setting it off but when it works it kills the mouse...

I purchased two of these traps to help control mice in my garage. After baiting one of the traps with peanut butter one evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see a dead mouse hanging from the Raptor's jaws the next morning. While the trap proved to be effective, I surmised that the mouse did not die instantly because the trap was about a foot away from where I located it. The mouse must have struggled to free itself until the squeeze of the Raptor's jaws prevailed. I'm quite sure the Victor traps kill instantly due to the powerful spring snap. But the beauty of the Raptor is that you simply squeeze the trap like a clothes pin and the mouse falls from its jaws into a trash receptacle. There's no chance of touching the nasty, little fellow. My four star rating is primarily due to receiving a broken trap when shipped. There were several other large, heavy items in the shipment that likely snapped the plastic trap. Although the traps seem well made, I believe the manufacturer could improve the plastic material by adding fiber reinforcement. After calling Do My Own Pest Control about the broken trap, they immediately sent me a replacement. Great company, great products, and great pricing!

These traps work really well. They sometimes are a little hard to reset but, all thing considered, do the job.

Truely the better mouse trap. I have been using this in my storage shed to trap mice they just love my riding mower for sone reason. The only complaint is thw mice do make off with my bait once in a while. The traps are much easier to set then my old spring and wooden board traps. Nice not to handle the mice just press the paddle and the trap pops open out falls the mouse. Great new trap.

Much better than the wooden spring traps. Easy to bait and set...you can place it on the foor and use your foot to set it. Some of mine didn't set well after a few uses. The latch wouldn't hold it down to set the trap so iI rated it 4 stars

The ease-of-use and sensitivity of these traps are great. Every once in awhile one will break but unfortunately that seems to be the way it is.

Very easy to use, I used a plastic knife and scooped some chunky peanut butter into the little removable bait cup and snapped it back into the trap. Left it out while I was at work, nothing. Next night, I heard a loud SNAP and the bugger that travels around the 6 Family house I lived in was caught. Just grosses me out when I had to pick up the trap with its head caught in the snap to dispose of.

Worked the first night I put it out. The bait needs to be small enough so the mouse can't take it without triggering the trap (which happened the second time)

This mouse trap was easy to set and work very well. I like how easy it was to release the mouse from the trap. I use my son in laws trap and it worked so well I order my own.

We bought a house where the prior owner obviously had a mouse problem. After putting out enough poison to probably kill 10,000 mice (and it was eaten!), I ordered these traps. We actually baited the traps with the poison we already had on hand. It took less than a week to solve the problem. Actually, we even caught a small snake in one! The thing I like most about this trap is that it basically operates like the classic snap trap, but easily pinches open (like a chip clip) to set, and you grab it by that same end and pinch it back open to drop the mouse out of it. Your hands never get close to the mouse. They're also fairly loud when they go off, so you're aware if you are anywhere close. We've left a few out in the highest traffic areas, and moved some around to other areas, such as the garage, to try to catch any future ones before they move in. Fantastic mouse trap!

Safe and easy to clean which is a bonus because you will be cleaning them. Not a single misfire - if it was closed a mouse was in there.

Easy to set, and more effective than my other traps. Lots of Voles this Spring, and it has been the best catcher.
