If you like this sort of thing, look for Shawn Woods' Mousetrap Monday channel on YouTube.

$200 USD. Is it that good?

[Elizabeth Greene]

It's self-resetting, can be used outdoors without electricity, humane, and won't hurt Fido or Mittens. I can see the appeal, but it's not worth $200 to me. $200 is a _lot_ of rolling log mousetraps which are all of the above except humane.

Just goes to show, there's always a better mousetrap lurking somewhere.

Resettable- cool. If you had a bad rodent prob can see the appeal.

Think I will be sticking with the blocks wired into a 63mm tube tho. Keeps dog out.

A 5 gallon pail 1 gallon of water a hand full of wheat a 1" dowel 2 small nails and a small board to serve as a ramp from the ground to the rim of the pail. Cut the dowel to fit inside across the lip of the pail nail through pail into dowel place small ramp against the pail pour in water and wheat then check every few days to remove dead rodents. keep in an area where livestock cannot overturn the pail.

I have one of these. Had a bad rat problem last summer, and this took a goodly nip out of said problem. And my wallet. Works great, although the rats and mice around here prefer my lilikoi over their patented bait. Chocolate chip cookie smeared with peanut butter works well, for me too! Digital counter attachment is extra, but cool. Working on a night-vision set-up for my pellet gun for more excitement!
