I have a live catch mouse trap rhat has had success only once, long ago.
Two mice, probably wanted a snug place alone for some strange reason.

Anyhow, despite changing bait regularly, it doesn't work. Then I looked at
the top of the trap and it says, in plain sight, "Catches up to 4 mice".
Now what sane mouse, after reading that, is going to go into that trap?
Stupid trap makers! The message should say "Free fresh peanut butter
inside". The snap traps work fine, a new victim every week or so.

I think I'll just take a black marker and blot out that trap info. Should
help.

Which reminds me of Milton Bradley's game of Mousetrap. As a young
officer, I enjoyed playing that with comrades in Nam. Also, the red
plastic mousetrap itself could double for a Jewish beanie during Shevat.

Just sayin'.

The trap may only catch one fat mouse, or six skinny mice. Maybe they
are unionized mice? If they died in the trap trying washing it with a
bleach solution. Same with a snap trap.

You do remember the genetically enhanced mice trained to read that escaped from the research lab? The little critters bred with wild mice and taught them to read. It's caused a lot of problems for the pest control industry because the mice can research the new pest control tech by getting on the Internet. ^_^

note put trap access door along wall, mice dont like open spaces. in addition try baiting with peanuts or peanut butter.

i had the same problem as you, complained to the extermination store where i bought the trap, and after following their advice caught nearly 40 mice

They're quite tasty when sauteed in a wok with some olive oil and garlic. ~_^

I'd read about the reading but I didn't know they were on the net too!
However, that explains a lot of Usenet posts in some groups.
