The story:
I woke up one day and on the kitchen floor I see some mouse poop! Oh no! So I start searching around and I see some in the pantry and in the bathroom and hallway and basically everywhere. "Where is the mouse coming into the house from". I have a brilliant idea of spreading flour all over the kitchen floor before bedtime to see where the mouse is coming from and I also set 10 wooden 'old school' traps with peanut butter on the floor. In the morning the floor looks like a mouse sandbox. There are mouse footprints all over the place and not one trap is snapped... peanut butter is missing on half of the traps. From the flour it does look like maybe they are coming out from under the dishwasher. Ok, I take off work and pull out the dishwasher. No easy job, but this mouse has become public enemy number one.
Once I have the dishwasher removed, I see a hole in the drywall that the builders never patched up. So I patch it up myself. But, no my wife, who has been asking for a new dishwasher, thinks it would be a perfect time to replace the dishwasher since I have it all pulled out. GREAT! This little ball of fur is costing me a fortune already. So after buying a new dishwasher and patching the wall my entire day off is gone and I am not any closer to catching this thing. At night I repeat the routine, spread flour on the floor and set the 10 traps.
Morning comes and peanut butter is gone no traps are snapped and mouse prints all over. The prints still look like they are coming from the dishwasher area, but I find out that it was actually from under the sink area instead. Perfect... so yesterday whole day was for nothing. So I put some steel wool in under the holes where the plumbing comes through the cabinet for the water lines. That night I repeat the same steps, 10 traps, flour...
Morning comes on the fourth day and no footprints, and all the traps still have peanut butter. Okay, so now I know he is not on this floor anymore but probably in the basement area. Down in the basement I see mouse poop. I decide to go to the store and buy more traps and set them out. The next morning none of the traps are snapped but they are missing peanut butter. So now, I am getting angry and decide to go full out. I buy 2 motion activated network cameras with night vision. I place them in the basement floor and have them set to email me whenever it detects motion and records the activity as well.
I know what you all are thinking... but seriously this thing is toying with me.... I had to bring in the technology.
Three days of cameras and not one single email. Of course the peanut butter is missing. I guess the little thing was too small to trip the motion sensor.
NOW, onto this victor electronic mouse trap:
I had to give you the story to appreciate the review of this trap. I finally decide that the wooden snap traps are not going to cut it for this particular mouse. He has obviously been trained in the ancient mouse art of avoiding the snap trap. So I buy two of these electronic mouse traps. I bait them with peanut butter, set them out and get up in the morning to see what I have found. The peanut butter has been eaten and no mouse. WHAT! Are you serious! Yes, I am serious. How could it happen you ask? Well it stuck its little tongue through the holes near the bait area and licked out the peanut butter. Ok, so I read the instructions and it says it is better to place this thing up along the wall. So I decide to also place the back end where the bait section is up against the other wall... basically placing the whole trap into a corner.
SUCCESS! It worked. This electronic mouse trap is exactly what you need. Lets be honest, you are not looking at this thing rightn now unless your normal snap traps are not working. You are at your last resort with this mouse and you just need something to work. Well, this is it... this is the trap you have been waiting for.
