You can reuse them if you wash them well. It's not the blood as stated in
another posting, as mice are cannibalistic (when starving). If a mouse
recognizes the trap as danger (as in near miss) or a trapped and injured
mouse pees on the trap, the urine scent serves as a warning to all other
mice. Just wash the urine smell off with dish soap and water and it will
work fine. I use peanut butter above and underneath the trip tab and get
very few misses.

HD mouse-traps, 2 per package, are $1.50 or so (more?),
and that gets expensive after a while.

The instructions say to NOT reuse them.

question: Why not?

. disease (to me)?

. mouse-smell repels others?


Thanks
