Question 1

Does the mouse quickly die on these or do you have to dispose of it while it's alive?  I can't deal with a live animal stuck on the trap!!

Accepted Answer

I recommend these traps because they work better then the traditional wooden Victor mouse traps; but I want to review them to dispel common misconceptions I keep reading.

The mouse will be struck in the trap for hours, if not days, and still be alive. I live in the country (Ozarks, AR) and field mice in the house are a part of country living. When the mice get stuck in these traps, they will defecate everywhere. They are in a panic mode, and the best thing is to put them down immediately. The idea that you can get them out of the trap safely with cooking oil isn't true. I tried this method and the mice have very small bones that break easily. Trying to remove the glue from the mouse with cooking oil is VERY likely to result in broken arms, legs, feet. Even when I got one out with minimal damage, my dog found it the next day dead in the yard. I do not believe they can survive the trauma and shock without dying anyway...and that's if you are lucky enough to get it off the board with breaking its little bones.

After I catch a mouse on one of these traps, I pick the trap up with a leather glove - they bite - and shoot it with a BB gun. I think that's the least cruel way to go about it.

Question 2

what size are they ... product shows  	0.6 x 0.6 x 4.9 inches   does not seem right ?

Accepted Answer

The dimensions are closer to 3" X 4.5".

Question 3

How many for 3.99?

Accepted Answer

There are only 4 in the 4 pack. They do sell them with just 1 or six as well. The number is right on the front of the box.

Question 4

Eugenol is clove oil. That being said, clove oil supposedly repels mice, what am I missing here?

Accepted Answer

Per Wiki: "It is a colorless to pale yellow, aromatic oily liquid extracted from certain essential oils especially from clove oil, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil and bay leaf." "Eugenol has a pleasant, spicy, clove-like scent."
