Woodstream Corporation M023 Mouse Traps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently ordered this product to take care of an infestation that me and my community were forced to deal with. The following is an accurate account of the product's failure to fully eliminate the infestation.
It all began after the simultaneous launch of the world's store of nuclear weapons by some fluke of the internet on New Years Eve, 2000. A day we will all never forget. The few of us smart enough to have fallout shelters during Y2K were well stocked for almost any contingency, but failed to foresee what will truly be our demise. How could any of us know that the nuclear fallout would breed giant nuclear rats?
We held them off with the weapons that we had stored, but soon ran out of ammunition and were forced to resort to hand-to-hand combat as the rats soon learned to use their new-found apposable thumbs, as well as our discarded weapons. Down to the last 30 known survivors, we all put our heads together and decided to order the Woodstream #M150 2PK Metal Petal Mousetrap. The internet got us into this mess, the internet would be our salvation.
The package arrived the next day, everything just as we expected only that the traps seemed to be made for average sized rats! How were we to defeat these monstrosities using average sized mouse traps? Our situation looks bleak, and no thanks to this product, we may all parish.
Even though this outrageous oversight may be the reason for the end of the human race, I could see how this product would work pretty well for an average sized rat and will go ahead and give it 5 stars.

Bird-X SE-PAC Scare Eye Balloon, 3-Pack Review

(More customer reviews)
We have a couple lychee and longan trees in our yard that the blackbirds used to raid like a swarm of locusts. We tried cd's, pie plates, sling shots (never hit any), plastic owl, nothing worked. So this year I went online looking for something cheap that might help. I saw this thing and the reviews were good so I bought one. All it is , is a couple beachballs with eyes and a place to tie a string to. You get mylar strips in the package also. I took a 16' PVC pipe and put a 90 degree elbow on the end and a 24" piece sticking out and tied the thing to it. Then I took a few large cable ties and attached the pipe to the tree so the thing hangs a little above the tree top. The flimsiness of the PVC gives it a little extra sway. The blackbirds would not even land in the yard for the first week, and after that, the closest they ever got was a couple trees away, where they all just looked at it while complaining loudly. It really did work well on the blackbirds, however apparently bluejays have nads of steel, as they couldn't have cared less if it was there or not. Luckily there aren't that many of them here.

I was having problems with barn swallows roosting on the brick ledge above our front door. I thought these would keep them off. Instead they just perch themselves on the spikes. My guess it that while it may work well for larger birds like pigeons, it doesn't work so well for smaller birds.

Intruder, Inc. 16112 Mouse And Rodent Traps Review

Had mice in my basement and my children often play down there. Needed something that would not hurt them, I bought these for that reason. They are easy to set and I can't imagine these hurting a person's finger. I place a bit of peanut butter on each and they do the job. Caught three mice in two days. I noticed that you can release the dead mouse into the trash without touching it, since the unit is made of hard plastic, I cleaned and reused. This justified the inflated price for these.

Victor M201 Rat Trap Review

Victor M201 Rat Trap
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live and work in Iraq and let's say that conditions over here aren't the most sanitary. The rats here are 6+ inches, not including the tail! The little 3" traps just don't do the trick; I put some out and the next day they were all gone. I guess the rats are building a gym or something. The glue traps just kept the rats alive and meant I had to... uh... "deal" with them mafia style. Poison isn't so good either as the rats just eat and go off and die somewhere, leaving a dead rat body to find.
Anyway, these things are no joke. Very sturdy and a wicked snap. Sounds like a gun going off when they snap closed.
Don't know why they manufacturer recommends using them only once. I handle them with rubber gloves and haven't died yet, despite decreasing the rat population by seven with one trap.

Tradional snap-type rat trap. Hardwood base and very strong spring make this a great choice to get rid of rats and mice.

Victor M265 Kill & Seal Mouse Trap, 2-Pack Review

Victor M265 Kill and Seal Mouse Trap, 2-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased four of these mouse traps (2 boxes of 2-packs) because I wanted to avoid the mess of traditional traps and glue strips. Unfortunately, only ONE of the four mouse traps actually worked. One caught a mouse, but the other three act as peanut butter feeding stations for the mice. With each of the three defective traps, the peanut butter I put inside them had been cleaned out (multiple times) and the mice left thank you notes in the traps.
I suspect these traps are just designed poorly due to their plastic parts. The plastic lever you push down to arm the trap gives some resistance, but there is a click sound when the lever is pushed all the way down, which should mean the trap is armed.
At over $4.50 per mouse trap ($9.60 for the 2-pack box), I expected these two work better. From my experience these work WORSE than the traditional Victor wood and metal mouse traps.
I have also ordered the "Victor Professional Electronic Mouse Trap" ($26 here at Amazon.com). Hopefully that will work better.
After reviewing all of the Victor product feedback here at Amazon, the reviews are either "this thing is great" or "this thing doesn't work at all" or "this thing worked but died quickly". To me that is evidence of either poor design or poor manufacturing quality control.
