Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 i have convinced the first unitarian church of oakland to stop using glue traps (ugh!) and to use the humane catch/release traps for the mouse " problem " they have. i have ordered 6 'traps' for them, and they're willing to give it a go for 3 months. i reeeeeeeeeeally want this to work and wanted to ask if anyone has had good luck with these traps and can offer any tips on ensuring their success!? if it doesn't work, they're going to go back to poison/glue traps. would love any help anyone can provide! best, Colleen --------------------- -Recipes and Cooking Classes: http://www.generationv.org/compassionatecooks.htm " Don't do nothing because you can't do everything.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Yes, I have successfully used one of these traps to catch a single mouse that wandered in the front door while I was moving. I baited it with peanut butter. It took a few days for him to find the trap. Still, they do work. --Brian - Colleen Patrick-Goudreau sfBAVeg Monday, July 21, 2003 11:00 AM [sfBAVeg] humane mouse traps -- any luck?? i have convinced the first unitarian church of oakland to stop using glue traps (ugh!) and to use the humane catch/release traps for the mouse " problem " they have. i have ordered 6 'traps' for them, and they're willing to give it a go for 3 months. i reeeeeeeeeeally want this to work and wanted to ask if anyone has had good luck with these traps and can offer any tips on ensuring their success!? if it doesn't work, they're going to go back to poison/glue traps. would love any help anyone can provide! best, Colleen --------------------- -Recipes and Cooking Classes: http://www.generationv.org/compassionatecooks.htm " Don't do nothing because you can't do everything.

Hi all, The only bad things I've heard about these are that people did not monitor the catch/release traps often enough, and the creatures died in the traps before they could be relocated/released.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Hello Colleen! We have really good luck with electro-magnetic pest control unit. We used to have a mouse or mice chewing the wood inside of the wall every night, then we got from http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product.asp?catalog% pest patrol unit for $48 and since then we never heard any noise from mice. It keeps them off the house. It is so good that you managed to convince the church to try more humane way. May be it will be even easier for them not to let the mice and rats in than catch and release the creatures. I think in the long run it will be also cheaper. Here is a web site of manufacturer, may be they have better prices http://shop.dwellery.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.shop & shopAction=itemDetail\ & catalogID=6 & categoryID=83 & mystyle=3 Lidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
