We are fully satisfied with this mousetrap. Our cat drags us to mice, which often escape her in the house. Unfortunately our Kitty no longer interested in their prey, and we can look at how we get the poor creature out into the open again. Having already tried other live traps (also homemade) and the catch quota been rather modest, we have finally found in this product is the perfect case, and at a reasonable price. We are happy about it, and so caught mice hopefully. Outdoors you have to just open the cover, and you dash into the bushes, where everything has its origin back ;-)
